Min. 2-5
Question from “reporter”: “Would you be prepared to accept the current line of contact” as the new border and be willing to lift sanctions with Russia?
Z: We are in the 1st steps and I do not want to look in to the future. Until these steps are written down I do not want to talk about these in detail. ____I want very specific guarantees & specific providers of these guarantees — assistance on the land, sea or air. ____We are not talking today about concessions of any kind. “We are hearing signals from various partners…from the U.S. But everyone needs to understand that Ukraine will never recognize whatever territories that are occupied by Russia as Russian as Russian territories” … this would be temporary occupation…
7:04 journalist: q.: As part of the negotiations between USA & Russia … business deals have been discussed including oil investments by American companies and lifting sanctions. What do you make of that?
Z.: Those are bilateral negotiations. “We will perceive [the negotiations] as a fair one when all of the partners are around the table. So Europe, … the U.S. and Ukraine”. … “our territories and our values are not for sale. Our freedom was not for sale. We are paying a high price for the fact that Russia brought this war to us”.
8:47 Ukr journalist q.: if the U.S. stops its assistance, Can they stop?* and what’s already making its way to us? What do the warriors on the front lines feel when something doesn’t come, such as Patriot missiles?
Z.: “We need to be realistic, not depressive” (Kama[b]la style word salad talk?) “but here, we are realistic. … We need to fund things … institutions, people need to live. … This is the fault of Russia.” ____ “look at the assistance of the U. S. from a different angle: Cessation of assistance would mean a change in the whole security infrastructure of the whole planet”.
Z. equivocates U.S. assistance to Ukr. = U.S. assist. to all of Europe ”because we are defending the whole of Europe”.
Z. at 10:43 (word salad time) “Unpredictable, the world is Unpredictable. We need to, we are rather well prepared to different challenges. We don’t know -challenges will come or whether they will. but we are. We’ve [been] doing this war for 3 years. And we’re grown-up., we’re adult enough to understand that life is unpredictable, the world is unpredictable. We need to understand this or we need to be acting fast faster..
12:25 Francis from The Telegraph: mr. President, Russia has annexed regions in Ukraine. It does not fully control. Is there any chance that part of a peace deal any territory could be given to Moscow, which is currently in Ukrainians [control]? And what is your message to your people in the occupied territories?
12:53 Z.: No chances. … and even if one country such as Russia breaks international law, it does not mean that others take this. well, or, and support it.
15:13 re: territory to Moscow — Z.: “Then it would not be a peace agreement. That would be separation of our lands.”
Started off talking about 250 billion already approved by congress and is confident that he will still get that money.
Upvoted for your hilarious headline.
I don't know if that was a lousy translator, or he is just incoherent. One minute and I was out.
