And it's very significant that this package has finally been agreed.

So in terms of what that looks like on the ground, I mean, I know you're about to head to the front line next week.

How will that money be used?

Because drones have become very crucial to Ukraine's military efforts, right?

Yes.

But I mean, obviously, there is another major conflict going on in Iran that has drawn in much of the Middle East.

In some senses, that has meant that Trump is very distracted.

But as you say, increasingly, Ukraine realizes that the US is no longer an ally, that it can

rely on.

But there have been negative impacts too, in the sense that Russia is, as we've reported, really benefiting from high oil prices, that a lot of that money is being funneled into oil companies, the sort of big three oil giants in Russia.

So how is the war in the Middle East sort of playing out both in the positive and the negative in Ukraine?

It certainly does, Luke.

And meanwhile, there are these attempts by Turkey to get Russia and Ukraine talking again around the negotiating table, but it hasn't gone that well thus far, has it?

Is there any sense that any progress could be made there whatsoever?

And there is a very high profile visit from Prince Harry who's arrived in Kyiv this morning and will be spending some time in Ukraine to raise awareness at a time when so much of the world is distracted by conflicts in the Middle East.

How important and significant is that for Ukrainians to have someone like him raising awareness and trying to get this back into the headlines when it's been so dominated by Iran?

Well, Luke, thank you so much for your time.

And stay safe when you travel to the front line next week.

Thank you.

That's it for today.
