00:00Ivan, I don't know if you just want to react to my previous guest who said

00:04that President Donald Trump should be meeting with the Russian President Vladimir Putin,

00:11but Zelensky should not be included in those talks.

00:14Greetings to you, Leanne, and greetings to all audience.

00:17You know, I think that Russia demonstrates the classical imperial point of view.

00:24Russia watched to this world from the position that there is Russia, there is the United States,

00:31there is China, and that's all, that there is no other countries.

00:35That's why, for President Putin, he said that he's not ready to meet with President Zelensky,

00:42because the whole world, except US and China, does not exist.

00:46And from that point of view, from that perspective, of course, it's logically to hear that statement.

00:52But for more than three years, Russia in full-scale war with Ukraine.

00:58If Russia were in war with the United States, of course, President Putin should talk with Donald Trump.

01:04But they are not having a war with the United States, they are in war with Russia.

01:09And even if President Putin and President Trump have some agreement,

01:14the Ukrainian soldiers are not subordinated to Donald Trump.
