  Speaker 1: Potans still living, Zelensky on red Or saying still no
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: replies Zelensky and Turkey basically waiting for him to turn up.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: He now says he won't meet with anyone but Putin.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: BABC senior Russia reporter Olga if Shina is with us
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: this morning, thank you for being with me. Do you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: think it's likely Poten will turn up in the flesh.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the biggest question now right And if I knew,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: if anyone could read Putin's mind or probably that person
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: would be one of the most inferential and important people
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: in the world right now. So the trouble with Puttin
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: is he follows his own logic, which we have seen
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: precisely in the past three ten years. So yeah, it's
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: quite unpredictable. Russian Russian officials are keeping the pause of
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: not not releasing much information. There is an interesting sign
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: that today Brazilian president made a stopover in Moscow and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: didn't meet with Putin, but it's probably too far to
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: say that there is a sign of possibly him put
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: In preparing for something big, but it's it's it's still.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Olga. We've lost you. No, I think we've lost Olga. Unfortunately,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it just gone nine minutes away from six. Olga, are
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you there, No, we've lost it. We'll have to leave
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it there. Unfortunately, it was interesting what she had to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: say anyway. So the problem, I mean, what he will
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: be weighing up, what the Kremlin will be weighing up,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: is how does it look to the rest of the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: world if I don't turn up? How does it look
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to America in particular, if I don't turn up, does
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that make it look like I'm not keen on a deal?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You know? These are the calculations the Kremlin will be making.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Olga's back with us. I think, Olga, that'll be what
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: presumably what the Kremlin's weighing up.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, in a way, krimlinly is enjoying this tension, as
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: was exactly their strategy for many years now, to keep
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the attension as much as possible in order to try
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to provoke cares, provoke confrontation, provoke doubts and discussions within
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the allies in Europe, in the United States, between Ukraine
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and the United States, for example. So the tension is
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: actually favorable to Moscow, so we have to wait until
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: tomorrow to get the answers. But Kremlin is enjoying that
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: tension and possible disruptions which it may bring.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Algert really appreciate your time. Thank you with the dodgy
• 2:21
