00:00And do you think that you said Ukraine might not meet those conditions or certainly won't
00:05meet those conditions that Vladimir Putin is putting on the table? Do you think we could see
00:11the US pressuring Ukraine to accept those red lines from Russia to end what Donald Trump is
00:20calling the bloodbath in Ukraine? You know, compromise is one thing, capitulation is another.
00:27And Ukraine is not prepared to completely do away with its armed forces now. It will never trust
00:36Russia in a peace agreement or go through full demilitarization or agree to a much smaller force.
00:43Maybe they'll shelve plans to join NATO. It's possible that Zelensky will have to let the
00:49Russians have, you know, 20 percent of Ukraine under American pressure. It's possible that
00:56Ukraine may agree to international recognition of Putin's invasion of the Crimea and illegal
01:04annexation there. But they're not going to surrender after all of this. And I don't think
01:10Zelensky has the power to tell Ukrainians he would do that anyway. So there are all sorts of, you know,
01:15problems in the negotiations. And even Russia's put forward another major demand, and that is that
01:23Ukraine give up demands for reconstruction of Ukraine paid for by Russia. And that could amount to
01:30trillions of dollars.
