Wow. Larry, is the Russian public losing

patience with the war in Ukraine?

>> Uh yeah. Yeah. Um they're wanting a

stronger response and based upon what

Putin has said of like they're going to

get it. I I think really what what what

we're seeing now is a very dangerous

escalation on the part of the West uh

the NATO countries and now Trump. Um the

progress that the Russians were hoping

was going to be made after the meeting

between Putin and Trump last August in

Anchorage. Uh the the the hopes

surrounding that have been basically

dashed. Uh they haven't completely

called for an that it's stated that it's

over, but uh the kind of optimism that

initially had accompanied that meeting

has gone the other way. And Trump, if

according to recent media reports, is uh

stepping up uh the the support,

intelligence support to Ukraine as well

as allegedly providing what what limited

weapon stocks we have. Uh I I just uh

literally about 45 minutes ago, I was in

a conversation with Ambassador Polanski

uh who's currently the Russia's

ambassador to the Organization for the

Security and Cooperation in Europe in

Vienna.

And and I asked him about this about do

you know do the Russians

do I said are do do you perceive you

know does the president Putin's

government perceive that you know Trump

is now is doing something new in terms

of providing uh intelligence to Ukraine

and he goes I wasn't aware that he

stopped so

>> you know um Ry how can the United States

claim to be an honest broker

between Ukraine Ukraine and Russia

when we're helping we're helping the

Ukrainians kill Russian troops. Well,

Judge, I'm really glad you asked that

question because Dimmitri Pasov

um Putin's spokesperson answered that

question just about two hours ago

about US mediation on Ukraine.

President Donald Trump's earnest desire,

this is a quote, uh to help find a

peaceful solution to the Ukraine

conflict, uh and he believes that

Washington's good offices could be

useful given the influence that

Washington has in Kiev and in in Europe.

So taking into consideration all this,

we believe that it's the sincere desire

of President Trump and his team to help

bring the settlement process onto a

peaceful track and we highly appreciate

that willingness. Okay, he's speaking

for Putin. What what's the anaka? The

Russian word anaka is but or

nevertheless. Okay. Nevertheless, the US

cannot pretend to be a neutral observer

because it's also assisting Ukraine by

providing weapons, selling weapons, and

providing quote other technologies. So,

it's sort of a dilemma. Why this sort of

paradox? It's because puchin wants the

US around in a capable mind and a

capable framework so that when the when

the war is won on the ground in Ukraine,

I perceive that to be this fall at the

latest, then that's not enough for the

Russians. What they want is a security

architecture that they've been pining

after for five years now. What they want

is a deal which not only the US is in

but the UN security council will approve

so they don't have to do this five years

from now. So you get these various

streams and last thing here little a

little punch at at Mong. He says look we

know says Piskov we know what Mcron says

we we we asked around but he's not

speaking for the United States. If the

United States wants out of this thing,

let them speak for themselves. We don't

pay much attention to Mong. So that's

the latest two hours old. It's not all

that clear, but the fuzziness helps

Puchin because he's winning and he

doesn't need to resort to extreme

measures to keep winning.
