And so I think there's a big discussion that needs to happen inside the Trump administration about precisely what it is prepared to do to grant security guarantees to Ukraine, and, importantly, what the Europeans are prepared to do, because, there, there is actually talk about a coalition of the willing that would put boots on the ground to serve as a deterrent force against a restart of this war by Russia. Russia is still saying, hey, we don't want any foreign troops and particularly NATO troops on the ground, so a lot, a lot of hard conversations ahead if we're going to see this dialogue go forward.
