| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the situation between the United States and Russia. |
| 0:05.5 | Trump on Air Force One mentioned that he will be speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin |
| 0:10.9 | on Tuesday. And just before recording this video, we got the confirmation that Putin from |
| 0:17.7 | the Kremlin, that Putin will indeed be speaking to Trump. So what's going on here? |
| 0:24.5 | We are getting close to a ceasefire or not? Trump mentioned two interesting things on Air Force One. |
| 0:32.6 | He talked about territory and he talked about the nuclear power plant, Zaporoza, is what he's referring to. |

| 1:31.4 | moving towards a discussion about the overall settlement of the conflict, a framework agreement. |
| 1:39.8 | And, and this is extremely important, this is taking place in direct discussions between the |
| 1:46.6 | President of the United States and the President of Russia. Ukraine itself is not directly talking |
| 1:55.6 | about this to the Russians anymore. So this is actually quite an important revelation. |
| 2:02.8 | It suggests, as I said, that we've moved beyond the technical discussions about a ceasefire. |
