All right, Alexander, let's talk about the military situation in Ukraine.

What is happening on the front lines?

And then we can talk, maybe we can talk a bit about what's happening with the conference in Armenia.

Maybe we can talk about what's happening around Russia.

There's a big conference in Armenia taking place to try and push Armenia closer to Europe and to NATO.

And then we have an interesting CNN article, which talks about how European intelligence is playing up assassination attempts on Putin and security around Putin.

26 is following the identical pattern, is that there's a very quiet period or a quieter period in late winter when the Russians reorganize their

forces, they re-equip, they bring in new people who have been training back in Russia.

They refit them. They work out new tactics, new strategies.

There's always then a narrative heavily promoted mostly by the British, by the way, about

how the war is supposedly in stalemate and all of that.

Then around April, the Russians start, the Russians begin to go on the offensive.

The offensive starts relatively slowly because the Russians are moving towards positions

which the Ukrainians have fortified and fortified over several years, by the way, then the Russians

break through those fortifications. We then start to see a period of much more rapid movement

from about July, August, September, a series of places fall and then gradually things begin to slow
