00:00Mr. President, what's the next step in Russia in free talks?
00:03What's your next step in free talks after the last few days?
00:06So we've been speaking to President Putin,
00:08and we've been speaking to Ukrainian leaders,
00:12including Zelensky, President Zelensky.
00:15And I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed
00:18that President Zelensky hasn't yet read the proposal.
00:21That was as of a few hours ago.
00:23His people love it, but he has a Russian spine with it,
00:28and Russia, I guess, would rather have the whole country,
00:32wouldn't you think of it?
00:34But Russia is, I believe, fine with it,
00:37but I'm not sure that Zelensky is fine with it.
00:40His people love it, but he hasn't read it.
00:44So someday he'll explain that one to me, Jeff.
00:47As you know, I ended eight wars.
00:49We tried to end it, ninth, and we thought this would be
00:51maybe one of the easier ones.
00:53We just did Rwanda and Congo,
00:55and that was going on for 30 years.
00:59Russia and Ukraine, I thought it was going to be
01:00a little bit easier, but it's not being made easy.
01:03It's a very tough war.
01:04Very nasty.
01:0527,000 people died last month.
01:08Mostly soldiers.
01:09The Pressure, what's the next step in Russia
01:11if you create talks after the last few days?

01:17and we've been speaking to Ukrainian leaders,

01:36Russia's fine with it.
