00:00Do you think we could see a Putin-Zelensky face-to-face meeting?

00:05I think what you mentioned is what a lot of people are wondering,

00:07or if we could see a Putin and Trump face-to-face meeting before Zelensky.

00:13I would think a Putin-Trump meeting would probably be more likely before a Zelensky-Putin meeting.

00:19I can't imagine that Zelensky would ever want to go and meet with him.

00:24There would have to be a deal already signed behind the scenes that's already done

00:31before Zelensky, I think, would go that route.

00:35I think he would be comfortable doing it if he knew that there was a peace deal that was going to happen.

00:40Other than that, like when we were talking last week,

00:43there was no way that I thought that Putin and Zelensky would meet in Turkey, in Istanbul.

00:49I just didn't see that in, I saw that as Zelensky trying to make it as enticing as possible

00:57for Putin to not go, but I didn't think that that would ever happen,

01:02and I can't see the meeting face-to-face.

01:04I just think that that's, it's beneath Putin,

01:08and I don't think there's enough of a carrot being dangled for Vladimir Putin to attend.
