Yeah. What are the particular challenges then? Why is it not as easy as doing it where we are right now?

Right. But this is all presumably building towards a possibility of us being able to sustain ourselves somewhere other than on Earth. Is that correct?

Well, President Zelensky has thanked Donald Trump directly in his evening address for enabling these constructive talks. And it seems like Ukraine's leader feels like he has been listened to. He didn't take part in today's discussions. But I think this joint statement after hours of negotiations in Jeddah reflects a restoring of Ukraine and America's relationship.

And I think just hearing the words that the ball is now in Russia's court will be music to Kyiv's ears, because finally we're seeing an America apply some kind of pressure on Russia, and finally it seems to be siding with Ukraine for the first time since Donald Trump took office. But whilst this is a diplomatic breakthrough for Kyiv, there is a huge but. It all hinges on...

It'll be instantaneous. I mean, the impression we got from officers on the front line, it was that it was like fighting blind. It is shared intelligence by America primarily that enables Ukraine to trace missiles, detect the buildup of Russian troops, to plan assaults, to get a sense of terrain, to use satellite imagery.

That has now been restored and it allows, it sort of creates inertia once more on a creaking front line in some areas. It does not solve Ukraine's problems. You know, the Ukrainian troops are being encircled in some areas of the fighting, but it keeps it in the fight. I think America's withdrawal of support in this way was effectively like fading down Ukraine's life support machine.

It's not looking good for Ukrainian forces. This is a patch of Western Russian territory that which was seized in a surprise attack last summer, which Ukraine had hoped at the time would force Russia to divert soldiers from other parts of the front line and potentially be used as a bargaining chip in any kind of peace negotiation.

but Russian forces, with the help of South Korean troops as well as South Korean ammunition, seemingly have almost encircled Ukrainian forces across the border inside Russia. They've even destroyed bridges along the border, making it next to impossible for them to get out. There is a main strip of road in... Ukraine-Sumi region as well, which is used as a major supply route.
