We have different views regarding a third world war.

I believe that Putin has already started it.

The question is how much territory he will be able to seize and how to stop him.

Not because Russia must not win.

but because Russia wants to impose on the world a different way of life and change the lives people have chosen for themselves.

Therefore, I believe and have long believed that Putin has already begun this war, and we're preventing it from becoming a broad, full-scale third world war.

Let's talk a little bit about the ceasefire talks which are going on.

There's talk of another round next week.

You have said that both the United States and Russia have told you that the way to get a ceasefire by the summer is for you, Ukraine, to give up the 20% of Donetsk that you still have, those so-called fortress cities.

Isn't that a reasonable thing to do?

I see this differently.

I don't look at it simply as land, or not only as that.

I see it as abandoning, weakening our positions, abandoning hundreds of thousands of our people who live there.

That is how I see it.

And I am sure that this withdrawal would divide our society.

Steve Witkoff, Trump's negotiator, goes to Moscow.

talks to Putin, he comes back, the messages are then relayed to you.

It seems to be, a lot of people would say, that he is absorbing Putin's talking points, Russia's narrative, and they are putting it to you and getting you to agree that they're putting you under a lot of pressure.

Today I cannot say that for certain.

Do you know why?
