We're going to have a meeting, I think where they have everything works out well today. We'll have a dry land and I think there will be a reasonable chance of ending the war when we do that. And is this the end of the road for American support for Ukraine.Is today's meeting deal or no deal. I can never say that It's never the end of the road. People are being killed and we want to stop that.So I would not say it's the end of the road. No, I think we have a good chance of doing it. It's been almost four year ...

Well, thank you very much. It's an honor to have the president of Ukraine with us. We've had a lot of good discussions, a lot of good talks, and I think progress is being made, very, very substantial progress in many ways.We had a good meeting, as you know, uh just a short while ago with the president of Russia.

And today's meeting is very important.We have I guess the seven seven very powerful leaders from Europe and we're going to be m ...

I mean, nobody's taken it well.Um, imagine rolling out the red carpet in October 2001 for Bin Laden, for example. I mean, that w ...

Yeah. I mean, if you think about it, after the Soviet Union collapsed, you had the countries of the former Warsaw Pact, Eastern Europe, and they were kind of in limbo. Many of these countries had been invaded either by the Russian Empire, by the Soviet Union.They didn't really have any place. And so it was the right thing to do was to include them in NATO, to make sure that, I mean, there were territorial disputes between a number of these countries, Romania and Hungary and others, to make sure that they we ...

I still don't understand how not getting the ceasefire deal is a win. I understand the idea of wanting this bigger package, of course, but a ceasefire would at least stop the bloodshed right now. Jake, the the thesis of a ceasefire is that you'd be discussing all of these issues that we resolved in in Alaska.You'd be discussing security guarantees.
