00:00Well, let's jump into the analysis now. I'm joined by Rick Sanchez, host of Journalistically Speaking.

00:06Rick, lovely to have you with me once again. So we listened to that statement earlier from Mr. Medinsky,

00:12the head of the Russian delegation. We were very keen to analyze, you know, the language used,

00:18the body language, the tone. What are your thoughts? I love the word satisfied. I think

00:22that's a wonderful word. And when I heard that word come out of his mouth, I thought,

00:26this is good. You and I had talked earlier and our analysis or the one that I presented to you was

00:33my sense was that the Ukrainians are feeling pressure that they could not come out of a

00:40two hour meeting with the Russians and then announced to the world. Yet we're not going to

00:45do anything. We don't like these people. And we basically have no agreement. Why? Why couldn't

00:50the Ukrainians come out with that kind of negative response? Because in the back of their minds,

00:57one would think, as Mr. Rubio had mentioned and as Mr. Trump had asserted, the next step

01:02is that Mr. Trump is going to talk to not the Ukrainians, but the Russians directly.

01:08If Mr. Trump talks to the Russians directly, what he's sending a message to the Ukrainians is,

01:15you guys may not matter anymore. In other words, I'm going to come up with a deal with the Russians,

01:20that then you guys are going to have to accept. So stay in this room with the Russians for as long

01:25as it takes and come up with some kind of security deal that you're satisfied with and that they're

01:31satisfied with. And I think we're on that road to perdition right now. I think we're on the road

01:37toward the two sides coming up with some kind of agreement that gives them that security feeling

01:44that they've both been looking for. And no, it's not about just a 30 day truth. It has to go

01:49more to what I've been saying throughout the day, which is they're looking for 30 days. The Russians

01:53are looking for 30 years or more. And I think that's where we are right now. And I think it's

01:58a good place.

01:58I think both of us got that positive vibe from that statement. It's a step in the right direction,

02:05but talks are just talks until action is taken. And the first step would be that prisoner exchange,

02:10which I think, given it's the largest prisoner exchange we've seen so far, is a really good marker

02:17of goodwill. A thousand for a thousand. It's one of the biggest numbers we've seen so far.

02:22And I think what it says is, first of all, let's just talk pragmatics. It's important to both sides.

02:28I think for the Russians in particular, listen, you and I both were there at the victory parade.

02:34We saw the reaction when the troops were shown. We know how important it is for Russia to bring

02:41those troops back. And I would assume for the Ukrainian people, it's important as well.

02:46So this is almost a concrete method of saying in the end, this is about a war where people are dying

02:55and we want that death to stop. And we're willing to show good faith by having this exchange of

03:01prisoners. I, you know, I think it reminds us that this is not about a bunch of, you know,

03:06dweeby nerdy diplomats sitting in a room trying to come up with a deal. This is about people dying

03:14on a battlefield. And this is what has to be stopped. So I think that is an important gesture.

03:20I think why today it was so significant is because it marked the first step. We brought the two sides

03:25together. They looked each other in the eye and this will lead to hopefully more talks between them.

03:32So it's interesting that we see this as positive when the response from Europe has been quite

03:38different. For instance, the British Prime Minister Starmer has responded to the talks,

03:43calling Russia's position unacceptable, quote, unacceptable, and accused Putin of delaying

03:48a potential truce. While the French president has said that Russia has ignored the demands of the

03:53U.S., Ukraine and Europe. I suppose he's talking about that 30-day ceasefire.

03:57What a shame. I mean, where are these people? So let's just cut to the chase. We're talking about

04:03small countries with leaders who have small minds who are trying to hold on to the relics of the past

04:12that they still have. And I don't say that because I'm trying to in any way, you know, bemoan these

04:21folks, you know, the Macron's and the Starmer's of the world. I think what I'm saying is I'm sorry,

04:28but have you looked at your GDP growth? Have you looked, Great Britain, at your GDP growth lately?

04:34Because it's almost in the negatives. Have you looked at Germany's? Have you looked at French?

04:38Because it's in the negatives. Now let's count standing armies in the world right now. Standing

04:43armies between those three countries doesn't even compare to one country that's a part of BRICS,

04:47India. Whose friend? Russia's friend. So let's look at India. Let's look at Russia. Let's look at

04:56China. Let's look at Saudi Arabia. Let's look at South Africa. Let's look at Brazil. And let's look

05:02at these countries who are forging this relationship and look at their breakdown when it comes to things

05:08like standing army, GDP growth. It's not even close. So it's almost like you have to understand when

05:16you've gotten to a point where you're no longer in a position to call the shots. And unfortunately,

05:23nobody has told Mr. Macron or Mr. Starmer that yet. Look, these are two of the greatest countries

05:31in the history of this world. You can't help but respect the British for what they've been,

05:36for what they've done. Same as the Germans, same as the French. But for them to all of a sudden come

05:41into this negotiation and try to bigfoot it, because that's what they're doing. They're trying

05:46to bigfoot this negotiation. It's wrong. The entire world sees it as wrong. And I think they

05:52almost look foolish in the eyes, especially of the Global South community. But I don't even think

05:58they know who the hell the Global South community is. So maybe it doesn't matter to them.

06:02Do you think it's possible? Because I remember ahead of the talks, Vladimir Zelensky said that

06:07if the talks were deemed unsuccessful, then more sanctions were becoming Russia's way. So do you

06:12suppose that they want to give this spin, that the talks were a massive blowout and completely

06:17unsuccessful, to give them an excuse to slap those sanctions? Thank God for Donald Trump.

06:22I know. I mean, he's my president. And I'm not here. I'm a journalist. I'm not here to kiss

06:30anybody's butt. But I will tell you this. It seems to me, and based on the analysis I've

06:36seen of the events as they've unfolded throughout the day, that were not for Donald Trump. Well,

06:41first, Putin says, let's have a meeting, right, in Turkey. Then Zelensky says, nah, I don't

06:48want to have a meeting. Then suddenly Trump says, you will go there. You will meet with

06:55the Russians immediately, he wrote in Truth Social. Suddenly, oh, what a surprise. Zelensky

07:00shows up in Ankara, of all places. But still, you know he was heading here and moving his

07:07people here. I think it's fair to assess, like or dislike Donald Trump for all his craziness,

07:14the president of the United States somehow was able to push for this meeting today to take place.

07:21Because I think without him, if we would have depended on the Starmers and the Germans and the

07:28French, this wouldn't have happened. They would have told Zelensky, like Boris Johnson did in March

07:33of 2022, don't do anything with the Russians. Don't agree to him. Don't do any deals with these

07:38people. And that's what would have happened had it not been, I think, for Donald Trump.

07:42God bless his soul. Well, let's wait and see what he has to say at first.

07:48We're not there yet. But I do believe, Nikki, I do believe that we've gotten to the point we are

07:55where we are because I think the pressure was felt by the Ukrainians that Washington was pushing them.

08:01I really do feel that way. Let's hope that things continue to move in a positive direction. Rick

08:07Sanchez, many thanks. It is a good first step. Many thanks for coming in to speak to me. Always a

08:11pleasure to have you with us.
