[00:00:02]Do you think Do you think there are Do you think we should expect an end and where where could that happen?

[00:00:10]>> Well, as to the timelines, I think both you and your colleagues realize that um naming specific time frames while the um combat is ongoing would be a mistake. It's not something that is done and it's not something I'm going to do now.

[00:00:30]>> How do you estimate the state of the negotiations considering what happened in Starobilsk and the fact that President Trump is busy with with other things. Well, it is putting out as they say.

[00:00:43]>> [clears throat] >> We maintain certain contacts. I'm not going to hide it, but there are no negotiations per se.

[00:00:52]Even though we are open for talks, we have never refused to have talks. We were not the ones to stop them. We are ready to go on with them.

[00:01:03]>> And And going back to Starobilsk I watch a a foreign TV channels from time to time to see what kind of a media landscape there is and what the international viewers have to watch.

[00:01:21]It's a disgrace.

[00:01:23]They're openly deceiving their citizens.

[00:01:31]When we uh made this strike in response to their atrocity against children we uh struck the Kyiv region.

[00:01:41]And the Kyiv strike was covered from the early morning um to late at night.

[00:01:50]Russia is an aggressor. They caused so much destruction.

[00:01:55]You as the media I would say should be ashamed for your colleagues.

[00:02:02]They didn't mention the tragedy in Starobelsk even once.

[00:02:06]The fact that children died, that it was a targeted attack against our children.

[00:02:12]They pretended that this never happened.

[00:02:14]So, are they um informing the public? No. They're making fools out of their audience.

[00:02:25]And so, they are showing the They're showing the drones that Ukrainian army uses and say that they're making huge successes, and they say that they're those drones are expensive, hinting that the citizens must pay.

[00:02:43]So, is it a a public interest a broadcast? No, I wouldn't say that.

[00:02:50]Russia has never threatened European countries.

[00:02:54]Everything they are doing now is just to prolong the conflict and to justify the immense costs for their uh budgets and to continue milking the taxpayers. But, as to my statement that this is coming to an end, I made that statement uh based on a thorough analysis of the situation on the ground.

[00:03:22]Our troops are advancing every single day at in every direction.
