| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about what's going on in Russia, in Ukraine, in the U.S. |
| 0:07.5 | In Slovakia, we have the Prime Minister of Slovakia traveling to Moscow to meet with Putin. |
| 0:13.7 | What are your thoughts? |
| 0:15.1 | Well, I'm going to say there's a sudden big burst of diplomatic activity, and I think many of these moves are clearly being |
| 0:24.2 | coordinated. I think that we can now start to say that we're entering the end game. Because again, |
