All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is happening with Project Ukraine.

The ceasefire is over.

And we had Victory Day.

We got the events of Victory Day.

We had Putin's big press conference.

Fidzio is back in Slovakia, he's questioning why the EU wants to phase out gas and oil.

Why are they doing such an idiotic thing?

We have Germany continuing to talk about escalation.

We have Pistorius, the defense minister in Kiev, making a surprise visit to

Kiev, to talk about military contracts. We have Ushikov talking about Ukraine having to leave

Donetsk. He has now said that the requirement is that Ukraine leave Donbass, the military.

A lot of different things going on. Where do you want to begin?

Well, I think the best place to begin, actually, is this, firstly, this conversation that Trump and Putin had on the 29th of April, which basically kickstarted or set in train, this whole sequence of events,

one after the other, that we've seen up to an including Victory Day,

because it's clear that the Ukrainians did have some kind of a plan to attack the celebrations on Victory Day,

or at least to try to.

And the Russians took that very, very seriously. And when we discussed this conversation between Putin and Trump before,

we made the point that Putin passed on to Trump.

A very clear warning about Iran and told Trump, under no circumstances, resumed the war

about Iran.

But we now know that it was also in other things too, and that Putin also told Trump, if there is a Ukrainian attack

on the Victory Day parade, then we are going to absolutely blow up, destroy central Kiev.
