I mean, Russia is now functioning as a full scale, you know, militarized war economy.
And it continue can continue functioning despite the sanctions and and everything.
It can continue functioning like that, theoretically, at least now.
for some time.
So, you know, I think the situation is quite finely balanced.
Nobody's actually losing, but nobody's actually winning either.
I mean, they are obviously talking shops and very little concretely comes out of them directly.
But I think they are useful for it is clearly useful for world leaders to sit down relatively informally.
And talking about this full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, in terms of what matters for the European Union, I mean, this is existential, really.
This conflict is absolutely critical for the European Union.
But by virtue of some kind of forced deal that Trump, you know, pushes through and that Zelensky is obliged to give in to, if by virtue of a deal like that, Russia succeeds in gaining more Ukrainian territory, more Ukrainian territory than it has at the moment, then, you know, then Europe's borders are fragile again.
And they look vulnerable.
So this is a defence crisis for Europe.
It's an economic crisis for Europe because energy costs have gone through the roof, inflation, etc.
It's really something that the European leaders feel they have to resolve.
And to do that, they're very well aware that they have to get Trump on board.
So sitting around the table with him, you know, the least you can say is that it can't do any harm.
Thank you.
The big open question is whether this set of protests that are currently underway is the end or the beginning of the end of this third phase of sort of modern governance when it comes to Iran, the end of clerical rule.
I'm Jake Sullivan.
