00:00OK, so it sounds like you don't think there will be a resolution.
00:03Maybe no one realistically thinks that a resolution will be found tomorrow alone.
00:09I mean, something may come out of this, as you say, an exchange of prisoners.
00:12There are reports, though, that Kiev is under considerable pressure from the United States to agree to some sort of
00:19a deal.
00:20I just want to ask you whether you think that sounds credible and whether you think that changes anything.
00:26You know, Tom, of course, Ukraine under big pressure.
00:29And all previous time, it was under big pressure.
00:33Frankly speaking, starting from the 20th of January, 2025, when Donald Trump becomes the 47th president of the United States
00:43of America.
00:43Because he said that, oh, Ukraine should sacrifice by their territory.
00:47Ukraine should forget about all crimes committed by Russians and so on and so forth.
00:52That's why Kaya Kalas, the head of European Union diplomacy, said a very generous price in Munich several days ago
01:01that Russia want to achieve more by their diplomacy than they achieved for four years of full-scale war by
01:08their army.
01:09And it's not correct.
01:10That's why I think that, on the one hand, we have this pressure from Donald Trump and his administration.
01:17On the other hand, even inside the United States of America, there are a lot of voices who said to
01:24Donald Trump that it's not correct.
01:27And voices not from Democrat camp, but from Republican camp.
01:32Lindsey Graham, for example, Mitch McConnell.
01:36I can set several names of top Republicans.
