⚡ NOW! ⚡ TRUMP AND ZELENSKY MEETING. Live Broadcast

Mr. President, we have some good news on the field. And of course you wanted to end this war with your help. And we de-occupied a certain number of territories.

Of course, we will talk about how to end this war on security guarantees. There's a lot we wanted to talk about. Would you like to say a few words now about the events on the battlefield? Yes, of course, thanks to the Pl program, thanks to your support, we receive appropriate assistance.

Over the past few months, our military has deoccupied 360 square kilometers and captured approximately 1,000 soldiers. And, of course, we will be holding an exchange, and thanks to your help, we have this opportunity.

We will continue until Russia stops this war. And I hope they stop her. And during this war, of course, we need more pressure, more sanctions. And with the support of the United States, with the support of the European Union, we fully support your idea, uh, President, on how to stop the process of purchasing Russian oil and gas by certain European countries.

I had a conversation with the Prime Minister of Slovakia. I think they need some alternative paths and then they will stop at the idea. I'm not sure about the readiness yet, but I think it will be in the future.

Thank you very much. Are there any questions? Do you think NATO countries should shoot down Russian planes that enter their airspace? Yes, I think they should. I'll let you know about it in a month.

And your message, will you give Ukraine security guarantees similar to those of the European Union? We will talk about this. And I hope we'll have a chance to talk about that a little later.

It is too early to answer this question now. [music] Your message to President Orban, who refuses to stop buying oil. I have a feeling he will change what steps were taken.

Well, the biggest, uh, progress is that the Russian economy is now in a very difficult situation and Ukraine is now very successful in stopping this powerful army. This is a very strange situation, because everyone thought the war would end in three days, but thanks to the Ukrainian military, thanks to everyone's involvement, it is now continuing.

This is not the best situation for Russia. They were hoping for a quick solution, but this has been going on for 3 years. These are tough battles that continue.

And it looks like it won't stop. Hey, have you been informed about the recent events that took place in Denmark, in Copenhagen? And Denmark says there were certain drones there. Maybe some activity.

What will be your reaction? I won't respond until I receive more information. They don't know what exactly happened, but of course we will find out very quickly whether you would help if there is a decision to shoot down the relevant planes. And, you know, NATO also increased its capabilities from two to 5% of GDP.

Now it's trillions of dollars. They pay us for the weapons we send. This is a really important day. No one expected this to happen.

That is, countries that did not allocate 2% now allocate 5% of GDP. This is a lot of money. This is the money they use to buy weapons from the United States. Because Biden used to give them everything.

He was giving them a lot of money, a lot of weapons, and we couldn't stand it. We gave Ukraine money to conduct military operations. They are very brave in their reservations.

Actually, this is a war that has been going on for 3½ years, and people thought it would end very quickly. They thought that Russia was such a big country, but Ukraine had enough courage.
