It's about 25 to 30,000 soldiers a month, mostly soldiers a month of being killed. And Jared are right now on the way to Moscow, so we'll see how that works out. I had a good meeting, but I've had, you know, numerous good meetings with President Zelensky and it doesn't seem to happen. (03:33–03:40)
