A: By the time it hit Politico publicly, I believe it was the end of August. And I got a text message from, it was either the Foreign Minister or—I think it was the future Foreign Minister. And, you know, basically, you’re just—you’re—I have to verbalize this. You’re just trying to explain that we are trying this. We have a complicated system. We have a lot of players in this. We are working this. Give us time to fix it.
Q: So anybody on the Ukrainian side of things ever express like grave concern that this would not get worked out?
A: Not that it wouldn’t get worked out, no, they did not. They expressed concern that, since this has now come out publicly in this Politico article, it looks like that they’re being, you know, singled out and penalized for some reason. That’s the image that that would create in Ukraine.
