Hey, guys, welcome to another episode of Aizond geopolitics.

I'm here with Mick Mulroy, Jason Lyons, and myself, Dmitrikel tacos.

Lot cooking, as usual.

That's going to be my line.

I'm going to make merch. This is a lot cooking as usual. That's going to be my line. I'm going to make merch.

This is a lot cooking.

First and foremost, Ukraine, Russia, a couple days ago. It's been more than a couple days when

Russia hit Kiev with a big ballistic missile attack that I i think killed up to i think to nine or ten

people last time i checked i'm sure it's probably gone up since then um lop and cooking two wickkoff

met with uh vladimir puttun yesterday at the kremlin uh old friends it looked like old friends

meeting up again uh and today obviously at at the Pope's funeral afterwards when they cleared out the hall,

there's pictures coming out of President Trump and President Zelensky sitting down having a powwow

about what comes next, I guess.

So let's kick off Mick, thoughts, comments.

Yeah, so, I mean, when it comes to the actual proposal, it's important to point out that

Ukraine has made it clear for essentially any time they've discussed a potential ceasefire that they're not going to

give up permanently any part of their territory to include Crimea, right? So Crimea was illegally

occupied and seized in 2014. The original proposal, which I just referred to as a Kellogg proposal,

simply froze the lines, right?

So it didn't say that you have to give up territory.

It simply asked Ukraine to acknowledge they couldn't take it back militarily.

That, I think, is something more in line with what Ukraine can agree to.
