let's bring in our co-anchor griff jenkins. and griff, you know, you watched this war and we're now in day thirty six very hard to carve out any kind of a peace deal when you see the russians repeatedly fail to live up to their word. well, that's exactly right. trait's and in fact, every time we get the headline out of these peace negotiations, the russians appear to do just the opposite. perhaps trying to buy time for what has been as we have repeatedly talked about a at this point failed mission of their original goals of seizing the capital and seizing that southern eastern region, creating a land bridge between crimea and russia is on this region. it looks now like they're just going to try and keep having these talks with no progress being made and yet they can try to regroup, as the pentagon says now to redeploy and create new offensives to get perhaps a more narrow goal accomplished . yeah, that's exactly right. all right. sorry, you have a guess. i just wanted to get your input on that. absolutely. all right. hold on ,
