Good afternoon! I'm very glad to be back. It's been two months since I've been able to do a podcast and I
am very pleased to be able to talk to Ukrainians from this format. These’ve been busy two months, with both
good news and bad news.

All of you are well aware of the political turmoil going on in Kyiv. Not long ago, the speaker of the
Rada dissolved the Rada based on the fact that one of the parties in the coalition withdrew from the coalition.
This has set off a round of discussions and negotiations among the parties in the Rada in an attempt to form a
new coalition. United States government and other governments, I'm sure, are not players in this process. We are
interested observers. We will support whatever coalition comes out of these negotiations.

We don't pick favorites. What we want to be sure of is that this process is democratic, legal,
constitutional and peaceful. Those are the important things for us. If the discussions meet those criteria then we
will support whatever government comes out. Whatever coalition comes out, we will be working with that
government.

During this period as well, we have seen an invasion of a sovereign democratic country. Georgia and
Russia have had problems for some time. Georgia made some mistakes, Russia made some mistakes. We know
that there are mistakes on both sides. We don't believe, however, that the mistakes called for the invasion of a
sovereign country; sending troops across international borders, violating the territorial integrity of Georgia,
and then recognizing parts of Georgia as independent states. We disagree with that. We are supporting
Georgian territorial integrity. We support Ukrainian territorial integrity. We think that principle is an important
one in international relations. So we have focused a lot of attention on rebuilding Georgia, on supporting the
Georgian people as they rebuild their country, as they rebuild their roads, as they. This is an important time for
Georgia as it is an important time for democracy. This democracy is worth supporting and we will continue to do
that.

These two political events - the Russian invasion of Georgia and the dissolution of the Rada, the coalition
here in Kyiv, have brought a number of visitors from the United States to Ukraine. Of course at the highest level
