international message as well, which it did. i think it is too soon to interpret the entirety of the message. the simple part is that it is open for diplomacy. what strings are attached and how long does he want to keep his troops training on the borders of ukraine and keep the threat of that military force and that military pressure up. that's not clear. i think we can overemphasize the angle that this looked very theatrical. very staged at a long table, that they could have had this behind closed doors and it could have been an announcement on television. maybe what seems a hand-fisted way to us, they are, president putin and his team, really do seem to want to communicate this message. for them, diplomacy is still something they want. they would point out that they began this whole process back in december by putting forward written demands of security guarantees. their security proposals.
