03:46has been made on ending russia's war against ukraine since the last time you saw president

03:51well the biggest progress is that the russian economy is terrible right now it's as you know

03:55it's crashing and that frankly ukraine is doing a very good job of stopping this very large army

04:04it's pretty amazing you know this is a war that should have ended in three days four days people said

04:09it was going to be very quick and you got to hand it to the ukrainian soldiers and everybody involved

04:15it's still going on and that's yeah that's not a good thing for russia this was supposed to be

04:20quick and so you know russia doesn't look very distinguished having taken three and a half years

04:26now right three and a half years of very hard fighting and it looks like it's not going to end for

04:33a long time mr president mr president um have you been briefed on the uh latest alleged growing
