We do know for sure that this is humiliating for Vladimir Putin, he built this bridge, I remember the pictures of him driving across it — It was one of their great achievements. I think it was 2018 when that bridge was built, so it's nearly brand new and to watch it in flames, to watch the rest of the supply lines out of Crimea into southern Ukraine at risk is certainly something that is a game changer on the ground in Ukraine. As Trey reported this morning, Ukrainians are doing phenomenal work of liberating town after town after town and the Russian military is failing desperately.

He's losing this war. It's the only reason he's at the negotiating table whatsoever. I think Zelenskyy is doing the best job he can in making public statements, for instance, that he won't give back Donbass – that he won't give back Crimea, putin is now more and more negotiating from a state of weakness and losing support domestically as well. And I also agree with the other statement [Gen. Keith Kellogg [Ret.]] made. What Putin is trying to do is desperately show the West that he has these hypersonic missiles and is willing to use them.
