MR RATHKE: So I have just two things to mention at the top today.

First, Ukraine: Deputy Secretary Blinken will meet later today in Washington with Ukrainian Prime Minister Yatsenyuk to discuss U.S. support for Ukraine’s ambitious reform agenda as well as Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine. We reiterate that the people of the United States stand firmly with the people of Ukraine in their quest for a more democratic, stable, peaceful, and prosperous and independent country. We are committed to using our good offices to urge all sides to speed implementation of the Minsk commitments, including a lasting, verifiable ceasefire and the pullback of heavy weapons under OSCE monitoring.

And the second item: The Secretary spoke yesterday with Brazilian Foreign Minister Vieira. The focus of the conversation was climate change and how economic expansion and reduced greenhouse gas emissions can go hand in hand.

The Secretary also had a policy discussion by phone this morning with some senior members of his team with regard to Russia, and he will talk later today with his Iran team to go over current issues and to keep in touch with them.

So that’s what I have at the start, and turn it over to you, Matt.

QUESTION: Well, can – just on the Secretary, is there any update on his schedule? When is he going to appear in public again?

MR RATHKE: I don’t have any update on his schedule of that sort. He remains in the hospital and is doing physical therapy and is in consultation with his doctors, but I don’t have an announcement about dates or timelines for his – of course, I know there’s interest, and as soon as we have anything we’ll share that.

QUESTION: Well, I mean, it’s been 10 days now. There hasn’t been a photograph. He hasn’t shown his face anywhere.

MR RATHKE: Well, he’s --

QUESTION: He is the Secretary of State.

MR RATHKE: He is the Secretary of State, and that’s why we’ve been giving you all regular updates about his activities. He underwent surgery, a major bone broken, and so that’s – that, of course, takes some time for recovery. And we’ve described that from the very start.

QUESTION: Well, I understand. But I think that you’ll find that there is growing interest in what exactly he’s doing and why no one has seen hide nor hair of him.

MR RATHKE: Well, I think I’ve explained what he’s been doing over the last day or so.

QUESTION: A photograph, some video.

MR RATHKE: I understand the interest, and I’m sure that before too long that will also come.

Go ahead. Other --
