00:00Thank you so much.
00:13We are now in the midst of the most intense and focused negotiations for peace since the
00:22beginning of this war for true lasting peace and we are not talking about the pause or
00:30a temporary and certain solution.
00:34This Sunday and Monday in Berlin we held intensive, really intensive talks with President Trump's
00:42team and with Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, others members of the team and we are working
00:51in a great detail on documents that could stop the war and guarantee security.
00:57This is very important.
00:59And every single detail matters.
01:01Why?
01:02Because not a single detail must become a reward for Russia's aggression.
01:06If the aggressor receives a reward, he starts to believe that war pays off.
01:15That is why justice must be central to ending this war.
01:21This support, this approach, justice must not be pushed to the margins of diplomacy.
01:28And there was too little justice for Moldova.
01:30It's true.
01:31Too little.
01:32And for Syria and for many, many other countries, those wars dragged down.
01:38And today the problems are so difficult to solve.
01:41And we must show through Ukraine that Europe and the United States of America are capable
01:47of delivering real results in securing peace.
01:52And when the guns stay silent, when the drones stop killing, the law must still speak.
02:01Russian root causes should be returned to Russia.
02:05And it cannot be that war criminals travel freely across Europe or the world as if they were
02:12tourists.
02:13It cannot be that those who kill are suddenly treated as respectable partners.
02:21That is why sanctions matter.
02:24And that is why conventions and mechanisms of international justice exist and must work.
02:32Alongside diplomacy, defence support for Ukraine, support for our resilience, I ask you please
02:38continue supporting efforts to ensure legal accountability for the aggressor.
02:44So no matter how difficult it may be and no matter how long it takes Russia, Russian war criminals
02:52must be held accountable.
02:55And the Russian state must be held responsible for the crime of aggression.
03:00But one thing has remained the same.
03:03It keeps bringing war and hatred.
03:07And that's always something they claim must be given up so they can stop killing.
03:12Russia has invaded our home.
03:15It's destroying our cities, our villages, killing Ukrainians, our children.
03:22And at the same time, demanding that we give up parts of our land they haven't even managed
03:29to conquer.
03:32Russia keeps nearly a million strong, million strong occupation force on our territory.
03:40And yet it demands that Ukraine accept limits on our right to join alliances and on our sovereignty.
03:50It's not enough to force Russia into a deal.
03:54It's not enough to make it stop killing.
03:57We must make Russia accept that there are rules in the world and that it cannot deceive everyone.
04:07This is the path to lasting peace, the bloodshed, but to change the situation along Russia's borders so there is no opportunity to start another war.
04:17And we understand that criminals don't change in a day.
04:22Right now, European leaders have the decision on the table regarding frozen Russian assets.
04:29Most of these assets are allocated in Europe.
04:32And these Russian assets can and must be fully, fully used to defend against Russia's own aggression.
04:40The aggressor must pay.
04:43Russian assaults are always insanely bloody.
04:49But Putin does not care.
04:51Russians don't count their debt.
04:55But they do count every dollar and every euro they lose.
05:02That is why a strong decision on Russian money is needed.
05:06And these funds must work to defend against Russia.
05:09And I urge you to support this.
