00:00Yeah, absolutely. And I've spoken to many people from the European side on the show here,

00:05and they are extremely concerned about Donald Trump and also his move to almost side with

00:12Russia, if we had a look at that 28-point peace plan. So that is a very big conversation,

00:17Robert, happening right now in Europe and in those circles. But I just want to ask you a

00:24little bit about Putin, because world leaders, including Vladimir Putin and Erdogan,

00:28are gathering in Turkmenistan today. Turkey's president has called for a limited ceasefire

00:35in Russia's war with Ukraine, targeting ports and energy facilities. Does Erdogan and Turkey have

00:42any game here? Can they convince Putin to do a limited ceasefire at the moment?

00:48No, I think that what President Erdogan is trying to do is to play a responsible role to use what

00:55influence he has. But I just don't see any scope right now for the Russians agreeing to a limited

01:03ceasefire. They just don't think that it would be in their interest.
