All right, Alexander, let's talk about the Putin-Trump phone call, and we also have

0:05.6

U.S. President Trump meeting with Zelensky today.

0:09.5

So let's talk, let's start off with the phone call from yesterday.

0:16.0

Kind of came out of the blue, but they had a two-hour phone call. Some reports say a little less than two hours.
