It does in the sense of... ending the war in Ukraine is now at the top of the agenda in a way that it wasn't before. I don't think you can say they're any closer to ending it, but it certainly is the main focus. That's the narrative now. It is about providing more military assistance to Ukraine so they'll be in a stronger military position once they actually get to the battlefield.

But the focus now is how to find a way to end the war. And for Ukraine and the Europeans, that's also about security guarantees. The question was about peace. But of course, we have a whole lexicon now of how to describe. It could be a frozen conflict. It could be, there's a new word they're using now, a sustainable ceasefire. They talk about in Gaza.

In other words, it has to be one that we're pretty sure is going to stick. It could just be the end of the war, the end of the fighting. I think it will be hard to have UN peacekeepers. That has to be authorized by the UN Security Council. Would Russia agree with that? Would the United States agree with that? They're sort of on the same side now. Russia would not want UN peacekeepers there.

Even in the Biden administration, there were leading figures saying to Ukraine, you're not going to get Crimea back. Forget about Crimea. We're not going to argue for Crimea. OK, so maybe they won't get Crimea back, although they still say that they want it. Every Ukrainian, Vitaly's looking at me.

And also, I remember the beginning of the war where President Zelensky entertained the idea there could be some discussions and compromise to say that the East, you know, Eastern Ukraine, Donetsk, Luhansk, where there's predominantly Russian speaking populations and ties to the pops, we could discuss them. Right. Right now, the official line is, no, we want all of our land back.

But in the cut and thrust of making a deal, there's also been a suggestion about that you leave it for later. You kick it down the road. So these will be some of the issues. But at the end of the day, for Ukrainians, peace has to mean control of our land, control of our borders. And we must be sovereign, able to defend ourselves in control of everything that affects us.
