the Democrats are in stronger position.
So as of right now, I took a look right before we started talking, looked like the meeting was over.
The initial readouts from the president of Ukraine were very favorable.
I'm not surprised at all.
The last meeting that the two men had together was in Ankara at the NATO summit just a couple of weeks ago.
It was by far their best meeting historically.
Well, sure, because Ukraine is winning now.
And Trump loves a winner even more than he hates someone he's angry with.
And Trump was very angry with Zelensky when he refused to open an investigation into Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, which mattered a lot to Trump at the time.
But now he sees that the Ukrainians are able to fight effectively against Russia, that the Europeans are paying for all of it, the American taxpayers are not, and they're launching drones deep into Russian territory.
And Trump is helping them.
Trump is giving them the intelligence that's allowing them to target, just like the Russians are giving satellite intelligence to the Iranians, allowing them to target American bases in the Gulf, by the way.
Which is one reason why Trump isn't really complaining about that, because from his view, it's like, well, that's what happens in war.
Like, you know, it's the same stuff.
The Ukrainians are getting support from the U.S., as we saw a couple of weeks ago, and allowing them to have licenses to start producing Patriot missiles on their territory.
They want to see that move forward quickly.
quickly, nobody's expecting that Trump is gonna start writing them checks, but you might see more significant sanctions against the Russians, which Lindsey Graham had been pushing for, and now we have his funeral, his memorial services today.
A lot of people will be talking about that.
On balance, the Ukrainians are in a stronger position, but that does not mean, now than they were three months ago, that does not mean
that Putin is going to accept a ceasefire.
