00:00So we just heard from Donald Trump there.

00:02It was a fairly stern comment when he came to the condemnation of Putin,

00:09saying he's gone absolutely crazy.

00:13Is this clear frustration from the US president playing out here?

00:18He's frustrated. He's impatient.

00:21If you remember going into the elections,

00:24he was saying that he was going to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours.

00:31The first 100 days have now passed.

00:33And the ceasefire talks, which did kick off in Riyadh in the middle of February,

00:38have basically stalled.
