00:00You have always said how good your relationship is with President Putin, but he's not really giving you anything in the whole situation.

00:07You know, it's interesting. It doesn't affect us because it's not our soldier.

00:12It's such a horrible waste of humanity. So, no, I am not thrilled with what's happening there, I will tell you.

00:19Interesting discussions. You know, Europe, certain European leaders are coming over to a country on Monday or Tuesday.

00:25Russia-Ukraine situation, we're going to get it done. I have confidence we're going to get it done.

00:31The Pressure, back on Russia. Russia had a pretty big attack on Ukraine over the weekend.

00:36Yeah, I know all about it.

00:37You have always said how good your relationship is with President Putin, but he's not really giving you anything that you want.

00:44Is that making you less trustful of him?

00:48Well, nobody was tougher in Russia than me. That has to do with the pipeline.

00:53As you know, Nord Stream 2 and lots of other things. But I'm not happy. I'm not happy.

00:59I'm not happy about the whole situation. You know, it's interesting. It doesn't affect us because it's not our soldiers.

01:06But they're losing now. I used to tell you 5,000. They're losing 7,000 between Ukraine and Russia.

01:127,000 soldiers every single week. It's such a horrible waste of humanity.

01:18So, no, I am not thrilled with what's happening there. I will tell you.

01:23I think it's going to get settled.

01:25So, I settled seven wars.

01:27This, I would have said, would have been maybe the easiest one to settle of all.

01:31But with war, you never know what you're getting.

01:34But we're going to get it. I believe we're going to get it settled.

01:37But I am not happy with them.

01:39I'm not happy with anything having to do with that war.

01:42It's just such a waste of great humanity.

01:44As of right now, what do you think is the greatest obstacle to a peace deal in Ukraine?

01:50As of right now, what do you think is the greatest obstacle to a peace deal?

01:54Well, we're going to see.

01:55I mean, we have some very interesting discussions.

01:59You know, Europe, certain European leaders are coming over to our country on Monday or Tuesday.

02:05And individually.

02:08And I think we're going to get that settled.

02:10I think we're going to get it settled.

02:11We have to.

02:14You can't lose.

02:15You know, when they're losing 5,000 to 7,000 soldiers a week for no reason, you have to get it settled.

02:22Of all of the wars, whether it's the Congo and Rwanda, they said it was impossible to settle.

02:29You look at every one of them.

02:31I mean, every one of these wars were impossible.

02:33I got every one of them settled.

02:35Seven of them.

02:36Seven.

02:36This was the one I really thought would be the easiest, but it's not.

02:40But I think it's going to get settled.

02:42Dr. Rwanda, when do you plan to speak to President Putin next?

02:46And what might second...

02:47Look, we're going to get it done.

02:52The Russia-Ukraine situation, we're going to get it done.

02:55I have confidence we're going to get it done.

02:58Think of it.

02:58I got seven done, all of which were impossible to do.

03:04If you look at any one of the seven, you know them.

03:07I don't have to go through them.

03:09Many of them were impossible.

03:10One was 31 years, 10 million people killed.

03:15One was 34 years, with 8 million people killed.

03:18How about the Congo?

03:19They lost 9 million people, and it went on for years with Rwanda.

03:25All settled.

03:26Everybody happy.

03:27The one that I thought would have been, for me, the easiest, because of Putin.

03:33I thought that would have been, it's not turned out that way, but we're going to get it settled.

03:38Are you ready to move to the second phase of sanctions against Russia or punishing Putin?

03:47How was your call with the Prime Minister?

03:57That's a big deal, that very unhappy hat.

03:58I thought that would have been a completelySerum for the first half years, and I thought dasP KYU was the hardest thing to make for sm Shahas.

04:15That's right.

04:15It's over.

04:16There are some for cancellations, COVID one is the hardcore thing that it was.

04:18There are some people that are still that much.
