I'm not saying it's hopeless, and I'm not saying it's not worth testing the waters and trying to negotiate them, but it's going to take time, and it's going to take engagement.

I think they had an idea that if they came in, they put enough pressure on Ukraine, that that'd be a way of sort of delivering an end to this war. They have not been as willing to put pressure on Russia. Of course, in fairness, the U.S. has a lot less leverage over Russia than it does over Ukraine. I think that's where the disconnect has happened.

It's sort of been a rude awakening, the fact that they've come to the realization that Russia is not actually interested in ending this war, or at least not interested in ending this war on terms that even Trump finds acceptable.

Things seem to have gotten back on track somewhat with Trump and Zelensky. I mean, I don't think it's ever exactly going to be a warm, cordial relationship, but they had that meeting at the Vatican. President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky meeting face to face inside St.

Another sort of perhaps promising sign for the Ukrainians, there's a story this week that the U.S. is sending another Patriot battery from the Middle East to Ukraine. They're sending old F-16 parts to Ukraine for them to use in their fighter jets. The nightmare scenario which it looked like was coming to pass after the overall office meeting, which is that the U.S.

You know, I think the smart money is on the conflict continuing. It's a war of attrition, and that means it's who can be exhausted first, who's going to be able to stay in this fight for longest, who's going to be able to resource their fight for longest. And it's a marathon, and it's a slugfest, and it's going to take a long time. And these sides put their red lines out.
