And in terms of what's happening on the battlefield and what's happening in Ukraine itself, I
00:06
mean there have been some heavy strikes during the course of the weekend, heavy aerial bombardment
00:12
on both sides. I'm wondering if you think that's a sort of a typical thing to happen
00:16
ahead of some major talks, as each side perhaps tries to show that it's in the stronger position?
00:24
Is that something we typically see ahead of this stage in negotiations?
00:29
Oh yes, certainly, and specifically the offensive on Kursk by the Russians is of major importance
00:35
for them. They don't want to start a negotiation with a part of Russia which is occupied by
00:40
Ukraine. And they go further from that, of course, because they pretend that part of
00:46
Ukraine is already Russian. Anyway, the increase of fighting is something inevitable before
00:55
a negotiation. But we should realise that, in fact, Mr Putin doesn't want peace. He wants
01:04
to continue war, because war is a necessity for his way of governing Russia. I mean he
01:15
can keep Russia as it is under a dictatorship only because there is war. So if it is not
01:24
the current war, high-level war in Ukraine, there will be another war at perhaps lower
01:30
level in the future.
