Transcript of video about call between Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland and the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt  

Reporter: This is talking about a deal that the U.S. was cooking up.

Reporter: Two top U.S. officials that are on the ground discussing a plan that they have to broker a future government.

Nuland: What do you think?

Pyatt: I think we're in play. The Klitschko piece is obviously the complicated electron here. Especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister and you've seen some of my notes on the troubles in the marriage right now, so we're trying to get a read really fast on where he is on this stuff. But I think your argument to him, which you’ll need to make, I think that’s the next phone call we want to set up, is exactly the one you made to Yats. And I’m glad you sort of put him on the spot on where he fits in this scenario. And I’m very glad he said what he said in response.

Nuland: Good. So, uh, I don't think Klitsch should go into the government. I don't think it's necessary, I don't think it's a good idea.

Pyatt: Yeah, I mean, I guess — you think, what — in terms of him not going into the government, just let him sort of stay out and do his political homework and stuff. I’m just thinking, in terms of sort of the process moving ahead, we want to keep the moderate democrats together. The problem is going to be Tyahnybok and his guys and I'm sure that's part of what Yanukovych is calculating on all this.

Nuland: I think Yats is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience. He's he's the — you know — what he needs is Klitsch and Tyahnybok on the outside. He needs to be talking to them four times a week, you know. I, I just think Klitsch going in,  he's going to be at that level working for Yatseniuk, it's just not going to work.

Pyatt: Yeah, no, I think that's right. OK. Good. Do you want us to set up a call with him as the next step?



Nuland: My understanding from that call - but you tell me - was that the big three were going into their own meeting and that Yats was going to offer in that context a... three-plus-one conversation or three-plus-two with you. Is that not how you understood it?



Pyatt: No. I think – I mean that's what he proposed but I think, just knowing the dynamic that's been with them where Klitschko has been the top dog, he's going to take a while to show up for whatever meeting they've got and he's probably talking to his guys at this point, so I think you reaching out directly to him helps with the personality management among the three and it gives you also a chance to move fast on all this stuff and put us behind it before they all sit down and he explains why he doesn't like it.



Nuland: OK, good. I'm happy. Why don't you reach out to him and see if he wants to talk before or after.



Pyatt: OK, will do. Thanks.



Nuland: OK, I've now written — oh one more wrinkle for you, Geoff. I can't remember if I told you this, or if I only told Washington this, that when I talked to Jeff Feltman this morning, he had a new name for the UN guy, Robert Serry, did I write you that this morning?



Pyatt: Yeah, I saw that.



Nuland: OK. He's now gotten both Serry and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Serry could come in Monday or Tuesday. So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and to have the UN help glue it and, you know, fuck the EU.

 

Pyatt: No, exactly. And I think we've got to do something to make it stick together because you can be pretty sure that if it does start to gain altitude, that the Russians will be working behind the scenes to try to torpedo it. And again the fact that this is out there right now, I'm still trying to figure out in my mind why Yanukovych that. In the meantime there's a Party of Regions faction meeting going on right now and I'm sure there's a lively argument going on in that group at this point. But anyway we could land jelly side up on this one if we move fast. So let me work on Klitschko and if you can just keep. - we want to try to get somebody with an international personality to come out here and help to midwife this thing. The other issue is some kind of outreach to Yanukovych but we probably regroup on that tomorrow as we see how things start to fall into place.



Nuland: So on that piece Geoff, when I wrote the note Sullivan's come back to me VFR, saying you need Biden and I said probably tomorrow for an atta-boy and to get the deets to stick. So Biden's willing.



Pyatt: OK. Great. Thanks.

Reporter: I'm sorry.

Jen Psaki: - as a diplomat.

Reporter: If you're saying privately behind the scenes that you're cooking up a deal, and then you're saying publicly that this is up for Ukrainians to decide, those are two totally different things.

Nuland: You know Matt, as you have made clear again and again in this room, we are not always consistent.

What U.S. officials are up to behind closed doors is in direct contradiction to the public claims made about democracy. People need to hear about whats going on behind closed doors because what goes on is not in the public good, it's for private greed.
