| 0:00.0 | It's Monday, November 24, 2025. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.9 | Peace in Ukraine is the goal. The American president made that very clear. And just in recent days, the U.S. Secretary of the |
| 0:22.1 | Army, Daniel Driscoll, has delivered to the Ukrainian government, and that means particularly |
| 0:26.7 | to Ukrainian president, Volonimir Zelensky, a 28-point proposed agreement for a cessation of |
| 0:34.8 | hostilities of peace, at least some kind of enduring peace between Russia and |
| 0:40.3 | Ukraine. Now, let's just remind ourselves of the background. Russia is the invading force. |
| 0:45.0 | Russia invaded Ukraine in a war that is now crushing. And the big new thing in the war is the fact |
| 0:51.9 | that even as Ukraine has pressed back incredibly bravely and even |
| 0:56.2 | as Ukraine has has thwarted many of the ambitions of the vast Russian army, the fact is that |
| 1:02.5 | the Russian army can press this much longer than Ukraine can stand it. And even as Ukraine is |

| 1:29.5 | And thus, the president of the United States has been putting pressure on Ukraine to agree to the |
| 1:35.2 | framework that was proposed. Again, it was taken by the U.S. Secretary of the Army. And it is a |
| 1:41.4 | 28-point agreement. And as you look at it, it appears to be, in many ways, |
| 1:45.9 | tilted towards Russia. It certainly gives Russia many of the aims of this military action. |
| 1:52.1 | Let's just remind ourselves. It was Russia that invaded Ukraine. Russia broke. All the norms of |
| 1:58.9 | international law. Russia is the aggressor here. Russia is the transgressor here. |
| 2:04.8 | Russia invaded Ukraine with the goal, let's just remind ourselves, of almost immediately bringing |
| 2:11.0 | an end, precipitating a collapse of Ukraine as a nation. We now know that in February of 2022, |
