So we know that there is this big power plant in eastern Ukraine that is shut down right now, but is under Russian occupation.
What is interesting is it's going to be a potential joint operation between the Ukrainian and the Russian because the Russian control the plant.
And on the other hand, if the Ukrainians sort of benefit from that power generation, there will be a business interest in the eyes of the Trump administration for them to maintain the peace.
And again, that really reflects to the vision that the Trump administration had for Gaza, which is if we inject business opportunities and jobs for local people, there won't be any unrest anymore.
Obviously, that's the vision, right?

Yeah, I mean, the concept here is also that, of course, it's actually not necessarily having in mind Russian supplies to Europe.
As in considering the needs of Europe as necessarily a priority, it's also because there's expectation from the U.S.

This time, Prince is being funded by local governments.
The Trump administration sees eye to eye in terms of the common goals that Prince has when he helped these foreign governments, basically making sure these countries are stable.
