Huge, thank you for joining us. It's been, I think, almost six months now since we've had

Andrew on, military analyst and author. His links are in the description box, his blog, his YouTube

channel. Please support his important work. So much has happened. We've even got this,

what is it, a technical meeting in Saudi Arabia?

What do you think is happening there and what do you think will be the outcome, Andrea?

And thanks for coming back, man.

Oh, my pleasure.

Yeah, I mean, Ariad is just technical work.

I mean, they sit there, they talk.

And as Mr. Piskov stated, and Russian side was on the record from the get-go, don't expect any kind of breakthroughs. This is all about the larger geopolitical framework. Ukraine is not really the part of it, because Ukraine is not America's business per se, because Russia will decide how to do with that. There is obviously humanitarian issues like this Black Sea deal, you know, these grains and

all that stuff. But other than that, I mean, special military operation continues as it was

happening before. I understand some people will be, you know, heard, hearing this,

but the killing continues on the industrial scale of the remnants of the armed forces of Ukraine.

And it will continue until the all military and political objectives of the special military

operation are met.

And that's pretty much it.

The Russians are not interested in, you know, United States.

All the United States has to kind of change its role because it was the United States

with Europeans who were behind their unleashing this hill starting from 2014

Maidan.

But yeah, it's coming to an end, but the rest of it is between United States and Russia.

And it is about larger geopolitical framework, about the modus of the vandy, between two superpowers
