1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: President Zelenski, thank you so much for taking the time

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: for speaking with Bloomberg. Yet again, thank you very much.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: I'd like to begin by taking a step back. We've

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: now been at war for three years and nine months almost.

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: There is a lot of concern. Each of those days

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: is measured in lives and resources. There's concerns that it's

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: now a stalemate, a forever war. Now today on day

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: one thousand, three hundred and fifty seven, from the United

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: States and from Europe, what do you need to meaningfully

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: change the course of the war.

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Not to lose your support, not

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: to lose unity between the United States and Europe.

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: Around Ukrainian question.

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: First of all, what we need we need between us, Yes,

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: longer artillery we really need. There's a big deficit on

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: the front line. I mean this during this war.

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: It's not the question of this day. It's a question

18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: for this war. And of course we need air defense.

19
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: We're thankful for program Poor. We are thankful to President Yes,

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: and this is very important. He opened this corridor that

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: we can buy by we can buy air defense. I

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: mean missiles Pack three first of all, PUCK three and

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: of course systems with system is difficult because it's always

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: the question of time.

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: Yes, but we can't wait because they attack us each day.

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: And we began to work on intercept Us droned intercept Us.

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: We have our production and by the way, good production,

28
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: American Ukraine production, co production. I'm happy that we have

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: co productions already we started.

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: This, but I hope that in future we will have more.

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: So I think here defense number one longer ertilly, as

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: I said, and of course if you will ask me,

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: what can change, Yes, we need long range, Yes, we

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: need long range.

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: Somebody. By the way, I had conversations with centers as.

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: You mentioned at the very beginning, and bipartisan support.

37
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: We are thankful.

38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: But we spoke about tomahawks for for example, I said,

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: it's not only about the mahawks. There are some similar

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: long range things and important were important things. Look, there

41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: are military targets on the territory of Russia which have

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: a huge air defense around because they need to save.

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: That's why it's not enough to have drawns. We need,

44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: you know, some come out of the package.

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: So if we want to answer, because they attack us

46
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: and we have to answer, that's why we raised this

47
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: topic with American side.

48
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: Another topic at the battle lines right now. The battle

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: for Pokorovsk is currently being waged. There have been some

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: suggestions from allies saying that it might make sense to

51
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: have a tactical retreat to conserve military, conserve resources, conserve

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: lives in order to regroup. Is that something that you're

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: actively considering. Has the time the time come to take

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: a retreat.

55
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: In any way?

56
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: This is really this is a decision of generals, and

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: of course I will support our soldiers, especially commanders who

58
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: are there, which how they can control the situation or

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: it's too expensive for us, We can't lose the most

60
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: important for us, this is our soldiers, and of course

61
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: they have to they need to decide on the battlefield,

62
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: decide the place. But you have to know the most

63
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: expensive months during these three years and.

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: Nine months, the months for Rusians because of crops.

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: They lost in October more than twenty five thousand people.

66
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: It's only I mean, this is twenty five thousand what

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: we control from drums. So there are video effects of this,

68
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: So I don't know the total number of their losses

69
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: during October, but only only fixed by video. Twenty five thousands.

70
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: And something something you do control and there will be

71
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: renewed discussions about this around manpower, whether or not you

72
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: need to expand the conscription. Is that something you were

73
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: looking at. This is something that you may hear more

74
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: from allies, given the retreat you've had to make in

75
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Zaporisia for example.

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: Look, the question of people, of course, is the most

77
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: sensitive and the most difficult and difficult for me, for soldiers.

78
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: For people, for society and for partners.

79
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: Yes, and of course we don't have a really comparable

80
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: number of people because you know that the size of Russia, yes,

81
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: and you know the size of your grain.

82
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: Yes. But this is the balance. You can't even.

83
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: If soldiers ask to mobilize more people.

84
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: You have to balance. It's a very difficult question.

85
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: You have to balance because there is a society people

86
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: they have to work, and they have they need, They

87
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: have to work and pay taxes, and then this money

88
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: goes to army. So you have to find the balance.

89
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: So I react during military.

90
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: Cabinets, and of course soldiers.

91
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: Raised this topic and partners, yes, but partners are not

92
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: at the battlefield. And that's why, with all respect, with

93
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: all respect, I said, the decision of our army awards

94
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: to mobilize thought about thirty thousand per months.

95
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: And the system now is.

96
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: Doing this, and one of those partners is President Donald Trump.

97
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: He seemed very committed to the idea of a ceasefire.

98
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Now it seems that the diplomatic line for now is closed.

99
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, President Trump and you understand one another much

100
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: better than you did back in February. With that understanding,

101
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: how do you bring him back to the table and

102
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: on your side.

103
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: Of the table, how to bring bad Trump?

104
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: Yes, committing to the idea.

105
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: This is I think this is important for me if

106
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: and for our people. And this is a big you're

107
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: much more bigger than than in Ukraine.

108
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: We paid the most you know, high price because it's.

109
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: Only Ukrainian losses here, but human losses of course, first

110
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: of all.

111
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: But we have to understand that also.

112
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: I think this, this is important for America, and I

113
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: think this is very important not to give possibility Russia

114
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: just to I mean that Russia began this aggression.

115
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: Russia began this war.

116
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: If the war against us, they have they stolen you know,

117
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: thousands of Ukrainian children. We can't I mean, they don't

118
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: respect they don't respect the law, but they really respect

119
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: the United States.

120
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: They respect President Trump.

121
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: I really think that President Trump can push put into

122
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: negotiations and that's why.

123
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 3: This is very important. And I think that you know,

124
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: like I said to centers, were very thankful to first lady.

125
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: And I'm very thankful, like the President of Ukraine that

126
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: our first ladies Lena and Millennia, that they spoke, they

127
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: began to work on children question, how to bring kids back.

128
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: This is very important and I'm thankful to her and

129
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: to other leaders who also helped us for this moment.

130
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: We brought one thousand and six hundred children.

131
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the Pearl Defense program that was rolled

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: out earlier this year. Is that bringing you what you

133
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: need at this stage?

134
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: And I'm thankful to President that we can get what

135
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: we need. Not enough, but it depends on you know,

136
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: different things, but not enough, but not enough air defense,

137
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: not enough missiles. I work on it personally. I work

138
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: on it personally each day here in Ukraine and abroad.

139
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: We have different systems.

140
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: We have nasoms, Irish t hawks, Patriot systems, different systems

141
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: and for these systems we need or it's about missiles

142
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: or the questions of money, and I need to get

143
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: these fonds and to push these money for air defense

144
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: for PRO. Now we have this ploral that's why this

145
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: is very important.

146
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: And then the US shutdown. There have been reports that

147
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: the US shutdown has been affecting the PRO program, that

148
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: maybe it's been creating difficulties for allies to purchase through

149
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: the program, it has had delays to deliveries. Has the

150
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: US shutdown had an impact on the battlefield for you?

151
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: All such things in the United States, of course have influence.

152
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: You have to understand that you are bleaders and we

153
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: count on your support. And of course any kind of

154
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: such challenges in your country have influence. Of course, because

155
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: there is nothing it's not about the will of one

156
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: or not it I mean this people or institutions. Sometimes

157
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: it goes like because of logistics, you know, some slow steps,

158
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: we need it and it comes later or or doesn't.

159
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: So I mean that's why such things, of course.

160
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: Have So it's feed on the battle of the US shutdown.

161
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: Of course we have influence on it.

162
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, but important that not of the will of some

163
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: people they I mean in the United States.

164
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: And this is your in tonal questions. But but you

165
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: don't understand how it works.

166
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, and all the other partners that you have obviously

167
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: the European partners. We're sensing the Russian assets is of

168
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: course the main debate that is happening in Europe right now.

169
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: There's a pattern with European leaders where at first they

170
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: say no to something, whether it's tanks or some other things,

171
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: then they go to maybe, then they get to yes.

172
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: Right now they're on maybe for the Russian assets. Do

173
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: you think they're going to get to yes? And do

174
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: you have assurances from European leaders that they will deliver

175
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: loans on the Russian assets.

176
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: We need it very much.

177
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: This is real one of the the types of real sanctions.

178
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: Russia has to pay for this war. They began this

179
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: war and they have to pay. This is a real fact.

180
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: How they can pay. And we need this money. We

181
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: will spend this money on renovation. And of course we

182
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: need really we need air defense, and you know, we

183
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: need air defense from.

184
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: The United States and we have European systems.

185
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: We need this air defense from the Europe from European leaders.

186
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 3: This is all very important.

187
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: And of course we need finance our drone production, which

188
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: is huge.

189
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: We need to finance it, and we don't have additional money.

190
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: And this is the way and this is fair. I

191
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: think they began this war and they want to continue.

192
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: That's why they have to pay.

193
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: Is this the most significant thing European leaders can do

194
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: right now?

195
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: Of course we can get more than one hundred forty

196
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: villains for today. We can get it, by the way

197
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: from the United States. It will be also good saying,

198
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: you know, like with energy, like sanctions of the White

199
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: House of President. Yes, it's about Louk Oil and Ross

200
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: Ross and local important step and it brought some other

201
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: our partners, European planners also to some strong decisions, and

202
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: we've been happy that they have been nineteen spackage.

203
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: We're thankful to Europeans for this.

204
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: So that's why if President Trump, for example, will decide

205
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: that he has some five I think more than five

206
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: billion he has of answers, maybe he will decide to

207
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: spend this money.

208
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: It will help.

209
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: Have you discussed alternatives with allies about Russian assets? If

210
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: that does not come through, is there an alternative plan?

211
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: Is there plan B?

212
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: No, they understand that we need their support and if

213
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: I hope God blessed, we will get this decision.

214
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: But they will not have this decision.

215
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: Of course, we together will find out we have to

216
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: find althornamty is the question of our surviving. That's why

217
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: we need it very much. And I count on partners.

218
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: And on the question of you brought down Trump in

219
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: connection to the Europeans, why did it take Donald Trump

220
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: to get the Europeans to ban Russian energy?

221
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: He always said that he wants Europe to put sanctions

222
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: on Russian energy. He always said that that was during

223
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: our meeting and then etc.

224
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: And you know that some countries in Europe they really

225
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: used it. Yes, it was not the case of one year.

226
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: In the case of I think about thirty years, they

227
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: had relations and a lot of different factory they.

228
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: Have common businesses. It's understandable.

229
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: And then President of the United States that he that okay,

230
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: I'm ready and if Europe will be ready. And of

231
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: course this decision, this way of sanctions was good. As

232
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: I said to you that it was American sanctions and

233
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: European sanctions. It like split and they came together, and

234
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: I think.

235
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: This is good way. It was good way.

236
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: And that's the same about as That's why I raised

237
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: it about asset, that there are some assets in the

238
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 2: United States.

239
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: If the United States can.

240
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: Do it, it will be helpful for European decisions also and.

241
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: On the assets, is there an alternative plan? So potentially,

242
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: let's say the EU can't agree on twenty seven, let's

243
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: say it's twenty five, and then maybe there's a partnership

244
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: with Canada or other nations that did you see that

245
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: as an alternative path for the Russian assets To back that, we.

246
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: Have bilateral security documents between US and twenty eight maybe

247
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: twenty nine for today partners. We have bilateral documents, security

248
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: document which gives us possibility to count on each year

249
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: financial support. For example, we have good document with Canada.

250
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: You said about Canada. We have good document with Canada.

251
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: We have good document with the United States. We have

252
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: very good documents with other for example North European parts

253
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: and Germany, and really we can count on their money.

254
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: For example, you know that Germany is one of the

255
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 2: biggest that is in the world and the biggest in Europe.

256
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: And of course we count on this document.

257
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: It's not alternative, but this, I mean, this is good

258
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: how to say pill, This is a good pill.

259
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: And in terms of energy, the Russians have been targeting

260
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: more and more your energy infrastructure, your gas infrastructure as well.

261
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: You're heading into the winter, get another winter of the war.

262
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: Very difficult situation. Can you tell us what the situation

263
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: is going to be for energy in the coming months for.

264
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: Ukraine two, we have really a difficult situation and we

265
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: have to go through this winter.

266
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: It's not the first winter, by the way.

267
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: But they, of course they increase the number of attacks

268
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: by drawnes. Can you imagine they use Iranian drones. Can

269
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: you imagine how many druns they use. They use, five

270
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: hundred they use they can use six hundred, seven hundred,

271
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: they used ones already of eight hundred drowns for per

272
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: d plus ballistic and cruise missiles. And it's such combination,

273
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: of course. Yes, but we we have what we have.

274
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: We have air defense, we have our production of drawns,

275
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: we have drawns interceptors, we have our systems of electronic

276
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: or fear a lot. I mean it's about hundreds for today,

277
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: and it's our production. So we of course and our.

278
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: People and our people from energy and they

279
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: Which work on the fields, and that's why this is

280
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: very important.
