| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is going on in Ukraine. |
| 0:04.7 | And let's talk about the diplomacy that is not really taking place, to be quite honest. |
| 0:12.2 | I have to say that. It's not really taking place. It looks like the Trump administration is still trying to figure things out. |
| 0:21.3 | Trump is not able to make a decision. |
| 0:24.9 | He says he's going to make a decision very soon, |
