00:00
Well, it's quite startling, isn't it, to hear a US president essentially undermine the status
00:07
of a fellow president in a democracy.
00:09
It is true that Ukraine is under martial law.
00:12
It's under martial law because it got invaded by Russia.
00:15
It is true that it's been a year since Zelensky would have been due to face elections had
00:21
his country not been invaded.
00:23
I've no idea about those lunatic opinion polls that he quotes.
00:27
The scale of the destruction in places like Mariupol is total.
00:32
In a great deal of the rest of the country, it is certainly not 20% in the city.
00:36

00:42
Sergei Lavrov, when he arrived in Saudi Arabia this morning, his new line coming out of the
00:48
Russian delegation is to cast doubt on the legitimacy of President Zelensky.
00:53

00:58
same thing.
00:59
They are singing the same song as the Kremlin.
