Transcript
00:00Is your deadline for Vladimir Putin agreeing to a ceasefire still stand tomorrow?
00:05Is that fluid now that talks are...
00:07Say it, what?
00:08Is your deadline still standing for Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire tomorrow, or is that fluid now that...
00:13It's going to be up to him.
00:14We're going to see what he has to say. It's going to be up to him. Very disappointed. Yeah.
00:18And do you have to meet with... Does Putin have to meet with Zelensky in order and before you and Putin have to meet?
00:25No. No.
00:26So you're willing to... That's actually important because the president... President Putin said this morning he was pretty dismissive of his idea of meeting with President Zelensky.
00:33Who was?
00:34President Putin was.
00:35I don't know. I didn't hear it.
00:36If you need to meet with him, he doesn't have to agree to meet with Zelensky. Is that what you're saying?
00:40No, he doesn't. No. No.
00:41So when do you think that means...
00:42They would like to meet with me and I'll do whatever I can to stop the killing.
00:46So last month they lost 14,000 people. Killed. Last month. Every week is 4,000 or 5,000 people.
00:56So I don't like long waits. I think it's a shame. And they're mostly soldiers. They're Ukrainian and Russian soldiers.
01:03And some people from the cities where, you know, missiles are lobbed in and you'll lose 35, 40 people a night, which is terrible.
01:12But no, mostly it's soldiers. And you're talking about, on average, 20,000 a month.
01:2020,000 people are dying a month. Young, generally young people, soldiers.
01:25We're going to speak in about soldiers. We'll see you over for a couple of minutes.
