Moscow made no major concessions and basically rejected President Trump's idea of this immediate, unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Instead, President Putin was very clear in laying out, once again, Russia's conditions, that the West must stop arming Ukraine, that the West must stop providing Ukraine with intelligence data, that Ukraine must stop mobilisation, stop recruiting soldiers.

The kind of conditions that Ukraine is not going to agree to, that Europe agrees, wouldn't agree to if Europe has any say in the matter. And so I think the question now is, will Moscow convince the Americans to basically agree with these conditions? Critics of the Kremlin say what's happening now is that the Kremlin is just playing for time.

No, I don't. I can't confirm that. But I tell you what's also happening, what the Russians are doing in their conversations with the Americans. The Russians are dangling various economic financial carrots in the face of the Trump administration, basically talking about how wonderful, how mutually profitable the U.S.-Russia relationship will be. when they can finally get to work on joint projects.

We've already heard Vladimir Putin raise the possibility of joint projects in aluminium, rare earth metals. The message is sinking in. Donald Trump gave an interview to Fox News last night, and he said in that interview, we'd like to have more trade with Russia. They have some very valuable things for us. They have a big chunk of real estate, the biggest in the world.

They have things that we could use. I suspect... that Moscow is calculating that for Donald Trump, the prospect of getting a chunk of that, if you like, Russian real estate, is going to Trump getting a good deal for Ukraine when it comes to ending the war.

I was sent a note on February 28th that said I was being suspended with pay while an investigation was to be carried out regarding my social media activity, which had come under some scrutiny. And there was a reference to an executive order that the president of the United States had signed a couple of weeks prior to that.

And that executive order talked about loyalty of foreign service officers, which I technically am. under the U.S. Agency for Global Media to the president's policies, and those who were deemed not to be sufficiently loyal could be terminated.

What's been happening on our 50 or so language services, which go out like BBC on radio, television and the web, programming has begun to disappear. And the web site itself carrying our news has not been updated since I think about Saturday midday. VOA has been around for 83 years.

There were times during the 1950s when there was the so-called red baiting that went on looking for communists in government that VOA also faced such accusations. But we have operated under a charter, which makes very clear what our mission is, that we are to be an independent broadcaster, even though we're part of the federal government. And this is a law in the United States.

which says we'll be consistently reliable and an authoritative source of news, and we must be accurate, objective, and comprehensive, and we will represent no single segment of American society. I have met people here in the United States and in other countries who told me that they really got their first taste of freedom from listening or watching the voice of America.
