Zulensky, in 29 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.400 a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have 30 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.920 not heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to 31 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.599 ensure that the war ends. The President of the United 32 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.920 States has the leavers and the determination. Sane has supported 33 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.280 all of President Trump's proposals, starting back in February ceasefire, 34 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.240 all formats have been supported. What is needed now is 35 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.759 not a pause in the killings, but a real lasting piece, 36 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.759 not a ceasefire sometime in the future, in months, but immediately. 37 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.039 President Trump told me so, and I fully support it. 38 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.719 There must be a just end to the war, and 39 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.080 it is Russia that must end the war it started 40 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.879 Ukraine and all partners shared the same understanding of the 41 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.759 need for a cease fire for an end to the killings. 42 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.400 There is only one actor opposing this putin. His only 43 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.199 card is the ability to kill, and he is trying 44 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.479 to sell the cessation of killings at the highest possible price. 45 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.879 It is important that this does not mislead anyone.

It is not a gift from the powerful, 69 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.079 nor a token handed down by the oppressor. It must 70 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.040 be seized with raw courage, with clarity and with collective will. 71 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.439 Those who sit in power never give it up willingly. 72 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.120 That's why we take it back, because freedom is ours 73 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.360 and we will fight until it is no longer a 74 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:38.319 dream but a lived reality.
