00:00Thank you very much everybody with the president of Ukraine and he's made me more famous and I've made him more famous. I will say he's got a great reputation. He's very, very strongly looking at all sorts of corruption and some of the problems they've had over the years. I think it's one of the primary reasons he got elected. His reputation is absolutely sterling.
00:27It's a great pleasure to me to be here. It's better to be on TV than by phone. Mr. President, thank you very much.
00:57Press, thank you. Press, thank you very much. Thank you, press. Thank you very much, press.
01:08Press, thank you.
01:10Press, thank you.
01:12Press, thank you.
01:24In 2019 I signed with him the deal. I signed with him, Macron and Merkel, we signed ceasefire.
01:32Ceasefire. Ceasefire. All of them told me that he will never go. We signed him with gas contract. Gas contract. Yes, but after that, he broken this ceasefire. He killed our people and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. What kind of diplomacy, J.D., you are speaking about? What do you mean?
01:58I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country.
02:02Yes, but if you are not strong... Mr. President, Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.
02:09Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict.
02:19Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?
02:22I have been to...
02:23I have actually watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President.
02:33Do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military?
02:37And do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?
02:46A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning.
02:49Sure.
02:49First of all, during the war, everybody has problems. Even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now. But you will feel it in the future.
02:59God bless.
03:00You don't know that.
03:01God bless. God bless. You will not have a war.
03:03Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel.
03:08I'm not telling you.
03:09Because you're in no position to dictate that. Remember this. You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good. We're going to feel very good and very strong.
03:22You will feel influenced.
03:23You're right now not in a very good position. You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, and he happens to be right about it.
03:29You're playing cards. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War III. You're gambling with World War III. And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, that's backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have.
03:54Have you said thank you once? This entire meeting? No. In this entire meeting, have you said thank you? Even today.
04:00As part of the deal, we've got on the table now.
04:02Yeah.
04:03Mr. President, we don't need this.
04:04Mr. President, I just wanted to ask.
04:06We are staying in our country, staying strong from the very beginning of the war. We've been alone, and we are thankful. I said thanks in this cabinet.
04:14You haven't been alone.
04:14You haven't been alone. We gave you, through this stupid president, $350 billion. We gave you military equipment.
04:21And you men are brave, but they had to use our military. If you didn't have our military equipment, if you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks.
04:33In three days. I heard it from Putin. In three days. This is something new.
04:37Maybe less.
04:38In two weeks. Of course, yes.
04:39It's going to be a very hard thing to do business like this.
04:42Again, can you just say thank you?
04:44I said a lot of times, thank you to American people.
04:48You see, I think it's good for the American people to see what's going on.
04:51I understand, sir.
04:52I think it's very important. That's why I kept this going so long.
04:56You have to be thankful.
04:57You don't have the cards.
04:59You're buried there.
05:00Your people are dying.
05:02You're running low on soldiers.
05:04Listen, you're running low on soldiers.
05:06It would be a damn good thing.
05:08And then you tell us, I don't want a ceasefire.
05:11I don't want a ceasefire.
05:12I want to go and I wanted this.
05:14Look, if you could get a ceasefire right now, I tell you, you'd take it so the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed.
05:21Of course, we want to stop the war.
05:23But I said to you, with guarantees.
05:27Because you'll get a ceasefire faster than an agreement.
05:29Ask our people about ceasefire. What do they think?
05:32It has great music, great movies, great muscle cars.
05:35But also,
06:05Thank you very much, everybody.
06:08We appreciate it.
06:09And we've had an interesting day.
06:11Well, the biggest progress is that the Russian economy is terrible right now.
06:15As you know, it's crashing.
06:17And that, frankly, Ukraine is doing a very good job of stopping this very large army.
06:24We're going to start a meeting with the President, who we all know.
06:35And I think this is the momentum to finish Russia's war against Ukraine.
06:43I think that...
06:44I think that President Putin wants to end the war.
06:47Or I wouldn't be talking this way.
06:50I think he wants to end the war.
06:51I spoke to him yesterday for two and a half hours.
06:54We went through a lot of details.
06:55He wants to get it ended.
06:56I think that President Zelenskyy wants to get it ended.
07:00Now we have to get it done.
07:01First of all, I think we need to sit and speak.
07:05The second point, we need ceasefire.
07:09Even now, you see, in the Middle East, it's very difficult to hold ceasefire.
07:14Everywhere, in every war, it's very difficult.
07:17We want this.
07:19Putin doesn't want.
07:20That's why we need pressure on it.
07:22We will speak with the President today what we need.
07:26We understand what we need to push Putin to the negotiation table.
07:32And as I said previously, so we are ready to speak in any kind of format,
07:37bilateral, trilateral, doesn't matter.
07:39Matter, just peace.
07:42It was great.
07:43Great guy.
07:48In my opinion, they should stop the war immediately.
07:52You go by the battle line, wherever it is.
07:55Otherwise, it's too complicated.
07:56You'll never be able to figure it out.
07:59You stop at the battle line.
08:01And both sides should go home, go to their families,
08:04stop the killing, and that should be it.
08:07Stop right now at the battle line.
08:09I told that to President Zelenskyy.
08:11I told it to President Putin.
08:13Thank you very much, everybody.
08:14Thank you, President.
08:15Thank you, President.
08:15Thank you, President.
08:16Thank you, President.
08:16Thank you, President.
08:16Thank you, President.
