- 0:00Speaker 1: Mr. President, thank you very much for doing this. You've
- 0:03Speaker 1: spent two days here in Canada meeting the Canadian leadership.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Let's talk about the deliverables.
- 0:09Speaker 2: So we spent not two days. We are very quick.
- 0:13Speaker 3: We spent a little bit more than 24 hours. But really,
- 0:18Speaker 3: this is important to be here. It's not just invitation
- 0:21Speaker 3: from Prime Minister Carney. So we signed the document, which
- 0:25Speaker 3: brings us to 100 years strategic partnerships. This is important
- 0:29Speaker 3: because it's a partnership in different directions, from security, financing, energy,
- 0:37Speaker 3: very important, energy, veteran policy, and culture, and relationships, and
- 0:43Speaker 3: humanitarian issues. So it's a global decision, a really historical decision,
- 0:48Speaker 3: and I'm happy that we have it. Then we signed
- 0:51Speaker 3: the pre-agreement, big agreement, drawn deal, We will produce and
- 0:58Speaker 3: the co-production will be in Ukraine and in Canada between
- 1:01Speaker 3: different companies. Already three companies, Ukrainian companies signed it yesterday.
- 1:07Speaker 3: The co-production with Canadians and I'm very happy, my congratulations.
- 1:14Speaker 3: to our company but we have hundreds of companies and
- 1:17Speaker 3: this is just first steps we will now we will
- 1:20Speaker 3: have drone deal and we will move quicker and the
- 1:24Speaker 3: last version of big drone deal will be ready in
- 1:28Speaker 3: nine ten days so we moved it quicker because it
- 1:31Speaker 3: was I mean this we had to wait for three
- 1:35Speaker 3: four months and by two liters we can move it
- 1:38Speaker 3: quicker and this is very good then what is very
- 1:41Speaker 3: important the program pearl every time it doesn't matter who
- 1:46Speaker 3: we involved or not but every time we have big
- 1:49Speaker 3: deficit with financing with fundings for pearl program pearl problem
- 1:54Speaker 3: just for high mars and a patriot missiles pack 2
- 1:59Speaker 3: pack 3. so carney prime minister always supported and supports
- 2:05Speaker 3: this program and then yesterday we made a decision about
- 2:10Speaker 3: 350 million for missiles, especially for Patreon.
- 2:14Speaker 2: And this is a great decision, important decision.
- 2:18Speaker 3: This is all what I'm doing now in Canada, before
- 2:21Speaker 3: it in Norway, and before it in different countries.
- 2:25Speaker 2: We speak about air defense. This is the biggest priority.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Mr. President, but speaking of Patriots, where are you going
- 2:33Speaker 1: to get enough Patriots for this winter? Winter is coming.
- 2:36Speaker 1: We know that Russians just today targeted... Ukrainian gas stations,
- 2:40Speaker 1: among other civilian targets. What do you need from the
- 2:43Speaker 1: Europeans and what do you need from the Americans?
- 2:45Speaker 3: I can tell you very openly what we need. So
- 2:47Speaker 3: Russia produces for today 140 ballistic missiles per month. So
- 2:55Speaker 3: according to the rules of NATO, if you want to
- 2:57Speaker 3: destroy 140, you need 280.
- 2:58Speaker 2: One to two. 280 missiles. You will never have 280
- 3:00Speaker 2: missiles per month.
- 3:08Speaker 3: And between us, it's a huge challenge to have 100
- 3:12Speaker 3: missiles per month.
- 3:13Speaker 2: This is what I want. I want to have.
- 3:16Speaker 3: 100, 120 for these difficult months, especially cold months. We
- 3:20Speaker 3: will see how many months of this winter, I mean,
- 3:23Speaker 3: this cold months will be.
- 3:26Speaker 2: So I don't know, one, two, three, we don't know. Yes,
- 3:30Speaker 2: this is a really big challenge.
- 3:31Speaker 3: So we can get it from the United States, from stocks,
- 3:36Speaker 3: from production.
- 3:37Speaker 2: I mean, it's not about United States.
- 3:42Speaker 3: They have political will to sell and to help, but
- 3:46Speaker 3: the production is not too big. So it means that
- 3:50Speaker 3: stocks is a variant. Will Americans be ready to give us?
- 3:55Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 3:55Speaker 3: We will see. Also Middle East. I have good relations,
- 3:59Speaker 3: my personal relations. We have dialogue about it. I will
- 4:02Speaker 3: not share where we are with this.
- 4:05Speaker 2: And some package.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Not very big from Europeans. This is first part, how
- 4:11Speaker 3: to live now. And we have to get these missiles
- 4:15Speaker 3: and we have to bring it to Ukraine. And all
- 4:17Speaker 3: the Europeans who really support us, we need, they.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Have to give as much as possible.
- 4:24Speaker 3: With all respect to them, they have to give Ukrainians
- 4:27Speaker 3: to save their lives. The second point is our system, Ukrainian, European,
- 4:32Speaker 3: pan-European system.
- 4:34Speaker 2: We call it Freya. The one that's called Freya. Yeah,
- 4:37Speaker 2: we call it Freya, and this is really... When is
- 4:41Speaker 2: it going to be done? It's a big experiment, but real.
- 4:46Speaker 3: And last some weeks, we can underline and be sure
- 4:52Speaker 3: that this system will be, it will be done in Ukraine.
- 4:56Speaker 3: The goal is to the end of December to have
- 4:58Speaker 3: the first system, to check it, how it.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Works, and yes, and then go to production.
- 5:06Speaker 3: But, you know, the technical is really difficult because companies
- 5:11Speaker 3: who are involved, it's the companies from 10 countries who
- 5:14Speaker 3: are involved in FREJA, Yes, they said that we need dozens,
- 5:19Speaker 3: so usually it's about 20 years to build the system,
- 5:22Speaker 3: but we.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Don't have 20 years. So you need it right here
- 5:24Speaker 2: and right now? We need it right now. Or yesterday.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Even 20 months, we don't have. It's not about years.
- 5:31Speaker 3: So that's why we will work together quickly, and the
- 5:35Speaker 3: main part of this system is the launcher and the missile.
- 5:40Speaker 2: We have it. We have it. It's a Ukrainian production.
- 5:44Speaker 1: So.
- 5:45Speaker 3: I hope that we will have success.
- 5:46Speaker 2: God bless. We will have it as quick as possible.
- 5:49Speaker 1: President Zelensky, let's talk diplomacy for a second. President Trump's
- 5:52Speaker 1: special envoy, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, just paid a
- 5:55Speaker 1: visit to Kiev for the first time ever since the
- 5:58Speaker 1: war started. What do you think they specifically learned from
- 6:01Speaker 1: this trip? And is there anything that them or President
- 6:06Speaker 1: Trump still do not understand about this war?
- 6:10Speaker 3: Look, I think that they came with a good signal.
- 6:14Speaker 3: It's important not to be only in Moscow, to come
- 6:17Speaker 3: to Kiev.
- 6:17Speaker 2: It's respect to our people, first of all.
- 6:19Speaker 3: The second point, I know we discussed it, we shared
- 6:23Speaker 3: it between each other with Steve and Jared, that really Ukraine,
- 6:27Speaker 3: with all these difficulties and challenges here, jets, drones, aerial bombs,
- 6:34Speaker 3: and missiles.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Ballistic, but with all of these things, Ukraine now.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Is much more stronger than last year on the battlefield.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Russian losses, you know, 30,000 plus people per month. And
- 6:49Speaker 3: this is a big price for such moves, very slow
- 6:54Speaker 3: moves on the battlefield. So that's why we think that
- 6:58Speaker 3: we have now good position for negotiations.
- 7:01Speaker 2: And also Americans, I know Americans shared their position with Russians.
- 7:07Speaker 3: This second, this third one, We discuss about energy, about grain,
- 7:14Speaker 3: about how to make first steps of de-escalation. Maybe somebody
- 7:17Speaker 3: doesn't like the word ceasefire. It doesn't matter for me
- 7:21Speaker 3: who loves it or who doesn't love. We love life.
- 7:25Speaker 2: We want peace. And that's why we speak.
- 7:27Speaker 3: So, okay, you don't like the word ceasefire. Okay, let's
- 7:31Speaker 3: say a truth. Yes, silence, that doesn't matter. What can
- 7:37Speaker 3: bring us to any kind of negotiations? So energy and grain,
- 7:42Speaker 3: this is step number one, what we can achieve.
- 7:45Speaker 1: And the last one, if Americans invite Vladimir Putin to
- 7:48Speaker 1: Miami for G20, are you willing to come?
- 7:51Speaker 2: Yes, of course.
- 7:52Speaker 1: And what are you going to tell him straight to
- 7:53Speaker 1: his face at once?
- 7:56Speaker 3: We have to meet, to speak and make decisions. It's
- 8:00Speaker 3: not about words, what I will tell. Him or what
- 8:03Speaker 3: he want to tell me, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Matters only result. Result matters.
- 8:10Speaker 2: That's it.
- 8:12Speaker 1: May I ask you, can I show you one thing?
- 8:14Speaker 1: Five years ago, we spoke in.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Really? Yes, we spoke... It was five years ago.
- 8:18Speaker 1: We spoke in San Francisco.
- 8:20Speaker 2: In San Francisco? Yes, at Stanford. Great.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Can you please tell me what is the difference between
- 8:26Speaker 1: this president and this president?
- 8:30Speaker 2: It's difficult to say.
- 8:31Speaker 3: I think you see everything. Everything on the face and
- 8:37Speaker 3: in the eyes. The president of Ukraine, which is not
- 8:43Speaker 3: under attacks, I mean, not during the full-scale war, this
- 8:52Speaker 3: president who speaks about absolutely everything Any reason but doesn't
- 8:59Speaker 3: speak about that we need to stop Putin as quick
- 9:02Speaker 3: as possible.
- 9:03Speaker 2: So are there priorities? Are they live? Are they in Ukraine?
- 9:08Speaker 2: But believe me, the same values.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Thank you.
