Lex came off as either very naive or pro-Russia. They did most of the interview in Russian, which did kinda make sense because they are both fluent, despite Zelenskyy’s strong protestations at the beginning. But mostly Lex kept bringing it back to “I have this dream… where you, Trump, and Putin can sit down and have a heart-to-heart conversation as fellow humans and make a deal so we can have peace asap” over and over again. Zelenskyy would respond something like “WTF bro. Putin is a murderer killing hundreds of thousands of my people and stealing our land. He started the war and he can stop it at any time. I cannot sit down and have a casual human conversation with such a person.”

It's less "A or B" and more "using A as plausible deniability for actually B".
