All right, Alexander, let's talk about some statements from Russian President Putin and a strange statement from Zelensky as well.

So Putin has been talking quite a bit about the long-rage missiles from the United States to Ukraine, and he's been asked both at the Valdae and also speaking to Zarubin about

what Russia would do if Tomahawks were given to Ukraine.

And Putin's answer has been very clear, a breakoff of diplomacy with the United States.

The tomahawks not making any difference on the front lines,

and of course, a Russian response. Zelensky, he talked about an air ceasefire, is what he talked

about, a unilateral air ceasefire, But he didn't get into any of the

details as to what he meant by unilateral or what he meant by an air ceasefire. Obviously, this is

connected to the ramp up of missiles and drones from the Russian military, which are hitting Ukraine

and the fact that the Patriot Air Defense systems are useless against the Russian military, which are hitting Ukraine and the fact that the Patriot Air Defense

systems are useless against the Russian onslaught. But it is worth pointing out, Alexander,

that just the other day Ukraine fired high Mars into Belgorod, and they did cause a big blackout

in Belgorod. So from the Russian side of things, they have still not been able to deal with the missiles

that do hit the towns on the border.

And the buffer zone that Putin talks about often has not been able to prevent the attacks

coming from Ukraine. I believe these Haimars were launched from Harkiv city, from the actual downtown

city of Harkiv, and they were launched into Belgaro. But the buffer zone, the way I look at it is going to have to be extended after this

attack on the power plant in Belgorod.

That's what they hit.

They hit the power plant in Belgarod, and they caused a blackout affecting about 40,000

citizens.

So interesting developments and two interesting statements,
