00:00If President Trump's facts are based on untruths, or fake news as he would call it,
00:05you know, that Ukraine started the war. I mean, let's examine that fact. Well, no,
00:09Russia invaded in 2014, having given its word at the Budapest memorandum that it would respect
00:14Ukraine. And Russia then invaded again in 2022. Let's look at another fact. You often hear America
00:20and I heard him in the Oval Office last week say, we've given double what Europe's given.
00:25No, actually, Europe's given more collectively to Ukraine than the United States.
00:30And, you know, you keep and now you hear this one about, oh, he hasn't had an election,
00:34right? That's the latest. Yes. Well, Winston Churchill didn't have an election for six years
00:39because we were fighting the Second World War. It didn't make us undemocratic. It's because,
00:42funnily enough, we were fighting for our survival as Ukraine is. And no doubt,
00:46the constitution of Ukraine will be upheld and there'll be an election whenever
00:50that is possible. But you see these lines that very similar to the Russians lines.
