All right, Alexander, let's talk about the situation in Ukraine, and perhaps we can discuss

Trump's latest comments on what's going on with Ukraine and Russia and the negotiations

that the United States is mediating.

And Trump said that European leaders will be visiting him Monday and Tuesday, but it'll be

one-on-one bilateral meetings.

We don't have a list of the names of these European leaders who will be visiting Trump.

Trump also said that perhaps maybe we're going to get secondary sanctions. Bessent,

Besson said that he spoke with Ursula Vandolayin and they're coordinating secondary sanctions.

Trump said that phase two, which is secondary sanctions, could be coming, but not a definite.

Zelensky gave an interview to ABC News, and he said some interesting things.

You may want to discuss that as well.

And then we have the military situation.

So let's break it all down.

Yeah, let us indeed, because, I mean, we've had a whole succession of very interesting

statements from Putin that he made last week.

And to repeat again, and it's a point that we've discussed in our, you know, previous

programs, but it seems to me that the Russians are now saying to themselves, we've sorted out a lot of the diplomacy. We got Trump to agree that there isn't going to be a ceasefire. We've got the backing of our friends. India's going to go on buying our oil. China's just signed a massive gas deal with us. China's agreed to

open its financial markets to some of our companies so that we can start to actually, they

can start to actually issue RMB bonds. They can borrow on the Chinese financial markets, which by the way are enormous.

I mean, they're very liquid as well.

So the Russians, I think, are saying to themselves, we've got through all the diplomacy.

It's been very difficult.
