again crossing the tape here geopolitical front uh the u.s will demand that russia accept ukraine's right to have its own army and defense industry as part of a peace agreement between moscow and kiev the trump administration also wants moscow to return ukraine's nuclear power plant in short ukraine has passage over the dead bay river and return land occupied by russia in the kharkiv region so it seems like some really Big news on this front.
So let's get talk to somebody who knows this stuff.
Nick Wadhams is a U.S. national security reporter for Bloomberg News.
He is based in Washington, D.C.
Nick, this seems like big news coming from the administration.
Put it in context for us, please.
Yeah, I mean,
the big thing here is that a lot of what we've been hearing so far out of the administration and the conversations between the U.S.,
Ukraine and Russia have been a lot of demands on Ukraine.
So we recently heard that the U.S. wanted to recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea.
They wanted to block Ukraine from getting NATO membership.
a host of other issues a critical minerals agreement and that had provoked a lot of fears among european allies and critics of the trump administration that essentially this deal was going to be really heavily favored toward russia and ukraine wasn't going to get anything in return.
We are starting now to get some sense of what the U.S. is asking Russia.
