00:00Almost three years into the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine and we
00:04are hearing this year the messages from President Zelensky and the
00:08administration with some narrative changing. Ukraine is now speaking more
00:11from the position of a strong partner and the position of power addressing the
00:15world. Yes you're absolutely right. Three years, practically three years of the
00:23war and of course no more than presidents, no more than Ukrainians want
00:31to end this war but end this war by just peace. And of course we are listening
00:38there and we appreciate this so readiness for the activity of the new
00:46president of United States, new administrations to really make its
00:52reality to end this war with just peace. And of course why it's not it's not I
00:57can't say that it's change of the of the of the our narratives or it's our
01:02our positions. Our position is absolutely clear from the very beginning. We are
01:08victim of these aggressions and we really want to restore the just peace. We
01:14want to end this war. But of course in the this year in Davos the president's
01:25speech and his address was especially for this momentum for the Europe and I
01:33saw that in some articles it was titled the general message from his speech it's
01:41Europe wake up because it's necessary to keep this unity it's necessary to be
01:47together Europe United States with Ukraine and go to the peace for the
01:52force. Donald Trump during the debate in the
01:55summer he refused to say whether he sees the end of the war in Ukraine as
01:59Ukraine's victory or what he says the end of the war in Ukraine. Do you think
02:04he sees the end of the war as the victory of Ukraine? You know I think it's
02:08not necessary not in the statements of the President Trump of other leaders to
02:14try to found exactly victory. We are very clear and the President Trump it's a
02:23strong leaders and I absolutely sure and we can hear it from him from the new
02:30administration the people who was nominee for new administration what
02:35they are understanding everybody understand that this war it's necessary
02:39to end it by just peace. In our in the speech of the president's in the
02:45statements of the Ukrainian officials we always said that victory it's equal of
02:53just peace. It's mean that for us it's no alternative. We are absolutely clearly
03:02understand what is just peace for Ukraine and I absolutely hope that the
03:09our partners in the same positions because but you know words it's words
03:16most important its actions but what we see we see we still have huge support
03:24for Ukraine in American society. We see the very impressed figures of the
03:33support in the of the people in the Europe but of course it's necessary to
03:38work what we are doing to work to talk to explain why we are so looking for the
03:45consultation and continue dialogue with the already the new administrations
03:51because we want to lose any days any any hours it's important unfortunately
03:58this terrible war is continue. Do you think it can be the end of this war
04:01within the next six months as we've heard? I I want I don't like to to
04:09mention exactly the terms and believe me I think nobody in this planet know
04:15exactly when it's ended because if it will be depends of Ukraine of the
04:20all-democratic world it will be finished tomorrow but unfortunately
04:27Putin Russia wanted to end they don't change their plan they and this is the
04:35war for Russia it's not the war for territory it's war again democracy it's
04:41war again free world they want to destroy to Ukraine but three years we
04:48still fighting we still strong we still brave and I absolutely sure what we get
04:56this just peace together with our friends and together with our partners.
