All right, Alexander, let's talk about the sanctions on Russia, the seizing of the Russian

frozen assets, all of the schemes and the plots that are being talked about at the European

Union headquarters to take those Russian frozen assets. We have a Zelensky who is asking for a hundred and twenty

billion. That's over the next year or two. And the European Union wants to

want to seize creatively seize 170 billion. And we also have some interesting statements from Trump in his meeting with Stommer.

And I think it would be interesting to hear your take on the meeting between U.S. President Trump

and the British Prime Minister Kirstammer.

So where would you like to begin?

Well, I'm going to begin with the sanctions and with the confiscation of the assets and all of those things,

because I think we have just about now reached the end of the road.

This particular circus has been on the road.

Basically, since June 2014, that was when they really started to sanction

Russia. They continued to sanction Russia more and more, even during the time of the so-called

negotiations with the Minsk Agreement. Virtually every month, new sanctions were imposed

on Russian individuals, sanctions were rolled over. We had the sectoral sanctions that were imposed on Russian individuals. Sanctions were rolled over. We had the sectoral

sanctions that were imposed on the Russian banking industry and on the Russian oil and gas industry.

In June 2014, they were supposed to bring Russia crashing to a stop and all of that. I remember

reading all about that.

Then, of course, we had the massive sanctions escalation in February,

2022 at the start of the Special Military Operation, the freezing of the assets.

Then we've had more sanctions ever since.

We've had 18 packages of sanctions.
