00:10Why do you think it's been made so public when it comes to Zelensky?
00:14Well, I think because Ukraine is the weaker link in that sense, and they rely completely on the US support.

00:24On the other hand, we see Putin does not feel the need to negotiate yet.
00:30And in basic negotiation approaches, we know that unless you feel the need to actually negotiate,
00:36as long as you think you can achieve what you want by other means, you will continue doing that and rejecting negotiations.
00:43And just Putin is not there yet on that feeling of that he needs to sit down and get to a deal.
00:49He's not there yet.
