All right, Alexander, let's talk about the situation in Ukraine, the situation on the front line with the Russian forces continuing to advance.

They are advancing very quickly in the direction of Zaparoje, Gulli Apolle, and in that direction.

We have the encirclement and the capture of Pakrovs.

I think we can say that it's captured, even though the Ministry of Defense has not officially

come out with a statement saying that Pakrovskamil no-grader captured.

They effectively are captured.

The Ukraine military was trying some sort of counterattack in that

direction, but it looks like all those efforts have failed. And of course, you have what's

happening in the north, in the Kharkov region, in Kupyansk. You also have activity in Lyman,

in Siversk. And as all of this is happening on the front line, this Ukraine military collapse

that we are seeing on the front line, Zelensky decided it's a good idea to go on a road trip.

Yeah. And so that's what he did. He is on a European road trip. That is what his people

are calling it. That's what what his people are calling it.

That's what the Western media is calling it.

Zelenskyy's European road trip.

And so he stopped over in Greece.

He's in France.

And I believe he is going to a lot more other countries to ask for money and for weapons and signing gas deals.

Yes. Yes.

Where do you want to begin? Let's begin a bit with the military situation, which you've

actually described very well. I think that this is something that in the West, there is still

a reluctance to accept the gravity of it.
