All right, Alexander, let's talk about Project Ukraine and let's focus on the negotiations and the diplomacy in and around Project Ukraine.

The collective West is very much talking about how Putin is stalling the unconditional ceasefire. He does not want to agree to an unconditional

ceasefire, and Putin is stalling. So Lindsey Graham is screaming about oil sanctions,

on secondary oil sanctions on Russia. There's talks about getting very tough with Russia to the point where the United

States is seizing Russia's shadow fleet tankers, putting a blockade in the Baltic Sea. Crazy talk,

all kinds of crazy talk. Meanwhile, we have Dimitriev and Whitkoff meeting in the United States. They're talking about business and business cooperation. And we have Kellogg. Kellogg is back. He has returned and he is speaking to the media. He told Fox News that we are very close.

The U.S. is very close at getting Russia and Ukraine to agree to an overall ceasefire, complete 30-day ceasefire.

He said that once they agree to a 30-day ceasefire, then the chances of

returning to war are very small. That is what Kellogg said. And he also said that both sides

are going to have to make concessions. It's an interesting statement coming from Kellogg,

following up on the New York Times article, which says that the United States

was very much a part of this war, if not the main actor in this war with Russia.

So here you have Kellogg positioning the United States as a mediator, telling both sides

that they're going to have to make concessions.

The United States, Russia and Ukraine are going to have to make concessions, the United States, Russia and Ukraine

are going to have to make concessions.

That's the statement from Kellogg.

He disappeared for a while, but now he's back.

Anyway, your thoughts on all of the diplomacy that is unfolding.

Well, I think the first thing to say is that, of course, there is this new talking point,

which is that the Russians are stalling about a ceasefire.

It is an absurd one.
