00:00So the Trump administration has put forward several proposals to Ukraine.

00:05What are they asking the country to agree to?

00:09And you mentioned earlier, it appears to be favoring Russia.

00:12Well, according to the reports from U.S. media in the past 24 hours,

00:19they're quoting some leaked reports that have said that the U.S. was willing to recognize

00:29the annexation of Crimea.

00:32And also the U.S. was ready to also put a restriction or a veto on Ukraine ever joining NATO

00:44as part of this peace agreement.

00:49So this is pretty much giving the Russians a good deal of what they have demanded.

00:55The recognizing the annexation of Ukrainian territory, as we all know,

01:03was something completely rejected by the previous U.S. administration,

01:07by most of the, all of the European capitals.

01:11So now we have an administration that is openly, or according to U.S. media,

01:17has already informed the Russian side that it's willing to go along with these steps.

01:25But still, until now, there is no response from the Russians,

01:29as if the Russians are saying, no, we want more than this.
