00:00Starmer and Zelensky, both urging focus on Ukraine as Iran diverts the attention.
00:06How will the Middle East conflict affect Ukraine's fight?
00:10Well, from here in Kiev, Ukraine, Ukrainians are apoplectic because it's another, over the last five years,
00:17another interruption with respect to the attention that the Ukrainian government wants to maintain on the Russian Federation-Ukraine war.
00:27Also, within the last five years, President Zelensky, because of his previous role as a producer
00:33and someone who understands optics and performance, he pushes too far and he doesn't sort of know when less is
00:42more.
00:43So by going to Paris that he did earlier with President Macron, now going to London, seeing Prime Minister Starmer,
00:51President Macron and Prime Minister Starmer are not two favorites of President Trump.
00:57And then President Zelensky says, oh, President Trump should meet with Prime Minister Starmer.
01:03And previously, President Zelensky said he should be meeting with President Trump.
01:08So he's, I understand what he's trying to do, which is, you know, keep the attention on us.
01:14But sometimes by doing that, he creates even further problems because now he's saying that President Trump should get rid
01:23of
01:24and sort of set aside the issues he has with Prime Minister Starmer over Iran just to deal with Ukraine.
01:31So he sets up President Trump to criticize.
01:35He sets up President Trump to say no, and he sets up President Trump to potentially strain further the relationship
01:43between the U.S. and the U.K. and U.S. and France.
