Zelensky going forward.

Secondly, we need to see what kind of direct response Putin is going to have militarily against Ukraine.

Is he going to try to downplay this domestically?

I mean, there are a lot of military and bloggers in Russia that have made a big deal over this.

I mean, it's not like it's catastrophic, but if you're reading the news in Russia, you know what's happened over the last couple of days.

And so is Putin going to change that?

Will he censor them?

Will he even arrest a couple and suddenly make it seem like no big deal and I'm in charge and don't worry about it?

Or is this something that people are going to be fired for in the chain of command and Putin is going to go after the Ukrainians in a much more dramatic way?

And also, what else do we see

from the Ukrainians because they know that they cannot continue to fight a conventional trench warfare fight successfully against Putin for the next two years.

They have been losing territory, albeit at a slow rate, over the past months.

And the Russians in the territory of Sumy have recently begun a major offensive where they're gaining territory more quickly.

They're also raising a lot more conscripts than the Ukrainians are.

So the Ukrainians are going to have to show more capabilities like this going forward.

I suspect they have such plans and we're going to watch them very carefully.

Those are the things I think that are most important right now.

Thank you, Helen.
