00:00Putin wants to eliminate Ukraine. Ukraine will not be eliminated. So that negotiation is going
00:06nowhere. And President Trump has sent Witkoff, Steve Witkoff, his envoy, to Moscow eight or nine
00:13times, Tom. Witkoff has never gone to Kiev. So there has not really been an equal or a balanced
00:22effort on the part of the United States to bring this to a conclusion. That said,
00:27while President Trump was distracted by this other issue in Iran, Ukrainians have taken the
00:35initiative. The Ukrainians are now on the front foot. Russians are on the back foot. The Russians
00:39are in a hole. They're on defense. The Ukrainians have the cards. They look like a winner and Putin
00:45looks like a loser. So that could give some motivation to President Trump to come in on
00:51the side of Ukraine now and end this one.
