00:00I'd just like to start by talking about this first presidential contact between Moscow

00:04and Washington in three years. President Putin and Donald Trump spoke on Wednesday evening.

00:10That's been described as a first step. What do you think the next step is?

00:14As somebody said today, one telephone call will definitely not end the war in Ukraine.

00:19And the next step is, normally, logically, is to start negotiating.

00:25Well, the first move should not have been actually to call Putin,

00:30because this is already an incorrect move. The first call would be to call President Zelensky

00:36to discuss the situation with him. Calling Putin, Trump already showed his position,

00:42that he is inclined more towards Russia than to the country which is being attacked by the aggressor.
