All right, Alexander, let's do a video on the Progosian plane crash.

So my first question is a simple one to you.

Has there been an official statement from the Russian authorities at the time of this recording?

Not that I'm aware of. I mean, I understand that they've retrieved bodies.

They seem to believe that he is one of the people who is amongst the bodies.

There is a list of the people who were on the plane, and his name is amongst them.

But as I understand it, there's going to be tests, done DNA tests,

and I suspect they will wait until those tests have been completed.

And that will confirm whether or not he is one of the people who died in this crash.

Now, I have to say, I would be astonished after all we heard.

If he was not, there have been, there has incidentally been one previous occasion

when a plane crashed in Africa and there were rumours and reports that he was on board

and that turned out to be wrong. But, you know, this is in Russia. I would personally be

incredulous if he was still alive and if he was not on this plane.

Of course, the other thing we don't yet have is any indication of what caused the crash

from the Russian authorities either.

They're obviously investigating, but again, we're getting dribbles of reports

and they give us some idea of what the Russian investigators are looking into.

Okay. Second simple question is, does this, and I think this is probably one of the more important

questions to ask, big picture, big picture question, is does this incident affect the special military operation or the conflict in Ukraine,

not either side, in a positive or negative way? Or do you think this is something that will

just fade away and will not affect the actual trajectory of the conflict?
