00:00We spoke about battlefields, we spoke about negotiations with Russians,
00:05potential negotiations with Russians.
00:07We spoke about middle strikes and long range,
00:11the situation with Russian losses, economy, etc.
00:17Good news, first of all, that, yes, Putin has to stop this war.
00:23And I have unanimity from all the leaders and EU presidents
00:29so we had the unanimity that Russia is not winning,
00:35losing a lot of people,
00:37and they have to make a deal as quick as possible.
00:40We have seen quite a few attacks lately, including in the monastery just yesterday.
00:47A lot of people around Putin, they push him to the more big mobilization,
00:54doesn't matter how much losses they will have, how many people will die.
00:58I mean, they don't think about it,
01:00but there is a huge percent of Russian people
01:05who understand that they, now they begin to understand
01:09that they are not winning this war,
01:12and that's why they have to stop this war.
01:15Yes, I'm not sure that it's really a human reason,
01:19because if you have a lot of losses, you have to stop.
01:24No, they didn't have to begin, it's between us.
01:28But in any way, better later than never.
01:32In this direction, where in Putin, we have more than 400, almost around.
01:37So that the percent is more than 60% of the society of Russia,
01:42they want to stop this war.
01:44And that's why we need more pressure on Putin.
01:46So that's why this is an important authority on which we will...
01:51We asked also to help more with the banking systems of Russia
02:00and also about military sector of Russia,
02:06which also works not only in Russia.
02:09Yes, they have some representatives abroad,
02:11so we need to close it using sanctions.
02:15And also political pressure on Russia.
02:18And I think that President Trump can do it,
02:20or maybe only him.
02:22I don't know, really.
02:24We will see what Europeans will do.
02:26I mean, of course, Europe wants negotiations
02:32with coordination with the United States,
02:35but we don't know all the tracks.
02:37Between us, it doesn't matter.
02:39We need useful tracks to stop Putin.
02:42Now, I think President Trump can do it,
02:45and Europe also will do it.
02:48...economy and etc., good news, first of all...
02:53First of all, Friedrich, I'm very thankful to his support.
02:56He's on our side.
02:57He understands that Ukraine counts on fast tracks,
03:04something like this.
03:05I know that not all the leaders love such format, fast track,
03:08because they want very understandable, clear steps for everybody.
03:17But we are not everybody, with all respect to everybody.
03:19We are during the war, and we need more creative steps, fast steps.
03:26We need it very much.
03:27Otherwise, if to make big pause, just, I shared it with Chancellor and with all the leaders,
03:33if we will make, after this war, big pause, during our way to EU,
03:39everything will be like we have with NATO.
03:43Russia will find a way how to block Ukraine's way to EU.
03:48They don't want to see us successful.
03:52They have the same information from our intelligence.
03:58So...
03:58The economy depends on China, on China's decisions.
04:01It's meant that China has influence, and, of course, we will be happy if they will help,
04:09but we don't feel it, that we don't feel their mood.
04:13We don't feel that they are ready to pressure Putin.
04:17It's meant to do everything to end this war.
04:22So you would be open to having...
04:24So you would be open to having...
04:26So you would be open to having...
04:26Yeah, you would be open to having a conversation...
04:28Of course, I'm very open to meet with the presidency, and our teams can work on it, exactly,
04:37to do everything what we can to stop the war.
04:42Thank you very much.
04:44Bye-bye.
04:57Bye-bye.
