00:00I wish you good health, dear Ukrainians.

00:02In short, about today.

00:04We continued to work on the points of our plan of internal stability.

00:09Today, two fundamental points are the front and human capital.

00:14Everything that concerns our protection and everything that concerns our people,

00:20both military, civilians, adults and children.

00:24The goal, obviously, is to protect us from Russian aggression now

00:29and everything that we must do in order not to lose after the war.

00:36To save and strengthen our people and the state.

00:41And this is a must.

00:43We continued our international work today, informal diplomacy.

00:48I talked to students at the University of Latin America.

00:52People in all parts of the world must equally understand what is needed now

00:58to restore peace with the international community.

01:02And one more thing.

01:04About one of today's news.

01:07Chancellor Shultz told me that he was going to call Putin.

01:13The call of Olaf, in my opinion, is the Pandora's box.

01:17Now there may be other conversations, other calls.

01:21Just a lot of words.

01:23And this is exactly what Putin has long wanted.

01:26It is extremely important for him to weaken his isolation.

01:30The isolation of Russia.

01:32And to hold ordinary talks that will not end in anything.

01:38As he has done for decades.

01:41This gave Russia the opportunity not to change anything in its policy.

01:46Not to do anything, in fact.

01:48And this is exactly what led to this war.

01:52We understand all these calls now.

01:54We know how to act.

01:56And we want to warn.

01:58Minsk-3 will not be.

02:00We need real peace.

02:02Glory to Ukraine!
