00:00What would you say to him, your friend and ally Donald Trump, about his withdrawal of support
00:06for Ukraine? Well, I would say it's quite right to aim for peace, but we can't have a peace
00:13that turns Putin into a winner. So I would not be 100% with where his team is right now.
00:18Absolutely not. But he'd say, hold on, Nigel, you agree with me. You told that Nick Robinson
00:23during the general election that we provoked this war. That's what you said. That is, of course,
00:28Donald Trump's line, and it is parroting Putin's propaganda as well, which is perhaps why you're
00:34now running away from it. Well, it was Henry Kissinger's line too, wasn't it? But, you know,
00:39to quote you... I think he was dead before the invasion, if you remember, Mr Farage.
00:44Well, he was warning us back in the 1990s not to expand to the east, if you remember.
00:48But to quote you from earlier on in this conversation, there's no point looking back
00:52then. We are where we are now. We want a peace deal. Surely everybody wants a peace deal,
00:57but it needs to be equitable. Right at the moment, it appears Russia is getting far too much.
