And we are back here this morning.
Evelyn Farkas is joining us.
She's the executive director of the McCain Institute here to talk about the future of Russia-Ukraine and the war that is happening there.
I just want to share the front page this morning of the Wall Street Journal.
The Pentagon has quietly blocked Kiev's missile strikes on Russia.
What do you know about this policy?
What impact do you think this is having?

I mean, I think it's horrible.
We should not be tying Ukraine's hands behind their backs.
Their people are being targeted every day at an increased volume.
We're going to leave this to take you live to a discussion with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The first is that CSIS staff will serve as your safety officers at this event, so please follow our instructions should the need arise.
You would exit the same way you came in, right through those glass doors behind you.
And then the second is the president will speak in Korean with simultaneous translation, followed by a brief conversation with Dr. Hamry with consecutive translation.
And so you all have transmitters on your chairs.
It's channel two for English and channel 10 for Korean.
And at the end of the event, we will ask you all to please remain seated until the president has exited the room.
We will inform you when we are adjourned and can exit the conference hall.
So we're waiting for the president.
It's a nice day today.
Very nice weather.
Okay, okay.
They told me he's coming in three minutes.
This is going to be the longest three minutes of my life.
So could I ask you to please stand and give a warm welcome to the President of the Republic of Korea, President Lee Jae-myung.
Let me now please be seated.
Let me now turn the proceedings over to our President and CEO, Dr. John Hamry.
Thank you, Victor.
Well, let me just say a hearty welcome to all of you.
And let me say how surprised I am.
I mean, when we heard the President was coming the last week of August, you know, I thought, we'll never get anybody to show up.
You know, and here we've got an absolutely a full house.
And I think that reflects the importance of Korea to all of us.
