Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls
Speaker 1: with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United
Speaker 1: States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will
Speaker 1: meet with him next week Friday in the U S
Speaker 1: state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the
Speaker 1: White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of
Speaker 1: territories to the vetterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically
Speaker 1: saying we will get some back and we will get
Speaker 1: some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to
Speaker 1: the vetterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently
Speaker 1: drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who
Speaker 1: have issued series of video and written press releases since
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will
Speaker 1: not see any of its territory to Russia for the
Speaker 1: purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that
Speaker 1: it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory
Speaker 1: in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders without
Speaker 1: preventive punishment made him to start full scale war with
Speaker 1: Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path to
Speaker 1: piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine. This
Speaker 1: is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and a
Speaker 1: shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position, cease fire,
Speaker 1: end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump, the
Speaker 1: highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the United
Speaker 1: States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia will
Speaker 1: take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five, in
Speaker 1: the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow. Thank
Speaker 1: you for your attention to this matter. Zelenski, in a
Speaker 1: series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have not
Speaker 1: heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to ensure
Speaker 1: that the war ends. The President of the United States
Speaker 1: has the levers and the Determinationine has supported all of
Speaker 1: President Trump's proposals, starting back in February. Cease fire, all
Speaker 1: formats have been supported. What is needed now is not
Speaker 1: a pause in the killings, but a real, lasting peace,
Speaker 1: not a cease fire sometime in the future, in months,
Speaker 1: but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully
Speaker 1: support it. There must be a just end to the war,
Speaker 1: and it is Russia that must end the war it
Speaker 1: started Ukraine and all partners share the same understanding of
Speaker 1: the need for a cease fire, for an end to
Speaker 1: the killings. There is only one actor opposing this, Puten.
Speaker 1: His only card is the ability to kill, and he
Speaker 1: is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the
Speaker 1: highest possible price. It is important that this does not
Speaker 1: mislead any one. Results are needed at the leader's level,
Speaker 1: dignified results, results that will save lives that the world
Speaker 1: will value and for which it will be grateful to
Speaker 1: the leader who delivers them. Every One clearly sees Putin's tactics.
Speaker 1: He fears sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them.
Speaker 1: He wants to exchange a pause in the war in
Speaker 1: the killings for the legalization of the occupation of our land.
Speaker 1: He wants to get territorial spoils. For the second time,
Speaker 1: Putin was allowed to take Crimea and this led to
Speaker 1: the occupation in Duniesk and Luhansk regions. He received no
Speaker 1: preventive punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders.
Speaker 1: This led to the full Nigeria Police Force has refuted

Speaker 1: was tortured as claimed, Saware refused to allow medical personnel
Speaker 1: from the Nigeria Police Force checked the alleged injury on
Speaker 1: his hand he had claimed he suffered as a result
Speaker 1: of the police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as

Speaker 1: the IGP Rapid Response Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja.
Speaker 1: As stated by Saware in the video. Shortly after his
Speaker 1: release from detention facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team.
Speaker 1: On Friday, Saware posted on his social media handles and
Speaker 1: said that freedom is never given. It is not a
Speaker 1: gift from the powerful, nor a token handed down by
Speaker 1: the oppressor. It must be seized with raw courage, with clarity,
Speaker 1: and with collective will. Those who sit in power never
Speaker 1: give it up willingly. That's why we take it back,
Speaker 1: because freedom is ours and we will fight until it
Speaker 1: is no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria

Speaker 1: being circulated, mister sir Ware was arrested based on credible,
Speaker 1: corroborated allegations involving criminal offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking and
Speaker 1: other infractions. Currently under active investigation. The arrest was affected
Speaker 1: in full compliance with extant legal provisions and with strict
Speaker 1: adherents to constitutional safeguards, due process and the rights of

Speaker 1: bailwell within the forty eight hour constitutional window in accordance
Speaker 1: with the provisions of Section thirty five four of the
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
Speaker 1: as amended. He is fully aware of the nature of
Speaker 1: the allegations against him and has been duly informed of
Speaker 1: the charges. He is expected to appear before a court
Speaker 1: of competent jurisdiction in the coming days to answer to
Speaker 1: the accusations in a lawful and transparent judicial process. Equally
Speaker 1: false and grossly misleading is the narrative suggesting that mister
Speaker 1: Suware was tortured or subjected to any form of inhuman
Speaker 1: or degrading treatment while in custody. The Nigeria Police Force
