President Trump's making sure that Ukraine can continue to defend itself and by giving them some deeper strike capabilities that obviously could help them offensively. They've already taken out about 20% of Russia's oil refining capacity in the last month. And at the same time, he has so many other cards to play.

Indian sanctions just took effect this week. They clearly are working. India is most likely going to change their behavior on buying Russian oil.

So President Trump knows all the cards he has still left to play. But he also understands that he needs to keep Vladimir Putin at the table, as well as Zelenskyy at the table. And we'll see, is it going to happen overnight? Most likely not, but I think we're on the right path and both sides are still talking and that is a good thing.
