00:00But very importantly, and I said it, Ukraine, ceasefire, Ukraine, ceasefire.
00:08Just agreed to a little while ago.
00:10Now we have to go to Russia and hope President — hopefully, President Putin will agree
00:13to that also.
00:14And we can get this show on the road.
00:16We can get — we can get this horrible war where 2,000, 3,000 soldiers a week.
00:21Every week, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 sometimes, I get the reports.
00:26And they're not American soldiers.
00:27They're Ukrainian and they're Russian.
00:30But people are being killed outside of that.
00:32People are being killed in the cities as things explode throughout the cities.
00:37And we want to get that war over with.
00:39So I think —
00:40Will you talk to President Putin about that?
00:41I think it's a very big — I think it's a big difference between the last visit you
00:45saw at the Oval Office and this.
00:47So that's a total ceasefire.
00:50Ukraine has agreed to it.
00:52And hopefully, Russia will agree to it.
00:54We're going to meet with them later on today and tomorrow.
00:58And hopefully, we'll be able to wipe out a deal.
01:00But I think the ceasefire is very important.
01:02If we can get Russia to do it, that'll be great.
01:05If we can't, we just keep going on and people are going to get killed.
01:08Lots of people.
01:09Is Zelensky invited back to the White House?
01:10Sure.
01:11Absolutely.
01:12Mr. President, will you talk to Vladimir Putin about this ceasefire deal?
01:15Do you think you need to have a conversation with him to get the Russians to agree?
01:18Yeah.
01:19I'll talk to Vladimir Putin.
01:20Yeah.
01:21When will you talk to him?
01:22I want to get — look, that's the other — it takes two to tango, as they say, right?
01:25So hopefully, he'll also agree.
01:26And I really think that would be 75 percent of the way.
01:29The rest is getting it documented and, you know, negotiating land positions, et cetera.
01:35So you'll talk to him this week about the deal?
01:37I think so, yeah.
01:38And when you anticipate meeting him in person?
01:39So you have a ceasefire in place on the Ukrainian side.
01:41How close do you think, then, you are to a total ceasefire with the —
01:45Well, I hope it'll be over the next few days.
01:47I'd like to see.
01:48I know we have a big meeting with Russia tomorrow and some great conversations hopefully will
01:53ensue.
01:54The people have done a great job.
01:56Marco Rubio has been great.
01:58Steve Whitkoff has been great.
01:59Michael Waltz.
02:00They're all — every one of them, they've really stepped up.
02:03They are into it.
02:04They want to see — they want to see two things.
02:08By far, number one is death of people that aren't citizens of our country, but they're
02:13people.
02:14Just like you.
02:15They're people.
02:16And we want to stop.
02:17And we also don't want to give billions and hundreds of billions of dollars away.
02:20We're in there for $350 billion, and there was no reason this war would have never happened
02:26if I was President.
02:27So it's a very sad thing.
02:29Thank you all very much.
02:30I love Tesla.
