00:00So, Sergei, let me start with you.

00:02Is President Putin genuinely interested in peace?

00:08Yes.

00:09Vladimir Putin is very much interested in peace

00:11because Russia already paid a few hundred thousand leaves to this war.

00:19And also, maybe two or three times more Ukrainian people

00:25also have been killed during this war.

00:27And for us, Ukrainians, it's also part of the Russian people.

00:32It's my opinion.

00:33It's opinion of Vladimir Putin, which has been expressed by him in different media.

00:39It's opinion of the absolute majority of Russian people, according to sociology.

00:44And we know that Ukraine has been part of Russia during more than a thousand years,

00:51and Kiev was the capital of Russia during three centuries.

00:55And the native language for something about 70% of the people in Ukraine is Russian language.

01:04So, for us, it's a great strategy.

01:07It's civil war.

01:08And, of course, we should stop this war as soon as possible.

01:11But Putin cannot agree with Donald Trump, with demand during this call, 30 days since far.

01:20Because these 30 days since far will be used by Great Britain, France, and other European countries

01:26for sending their troops to Ukrainian territory,

01:30sending their occupation troops to Ukrainian territory.
