00:00We're gonna meet with him. Yeah, go ahead, please.

00:04Mr. President, Netherlands TV, thank you for visiting our country.

00:08Good. Thank you.

00:09As you understood, of course, I'd like to know how you slept last night at the House of the King.

00:13Oh, I slept beautifully.

00:15Probably a more serious question. I think you just had a meeting with President Zelensky.

00:19Did you discuss any ceasefire in this Russo-Ukrainian?

00:23No, no. I just wanted to know how he's doing. It was very nice, actually.

00:27You know, we had little rough times sometimes. He couldn't have been nicer.

00:32I think he'd like to see an end to this. I do. I think what I took from the meeting,

00:38couldn't have been nicer, actually, but I took from the meeting that he'd like to see it end.

00:42I think it's a great time to end it. I'm gonna speak to Vladimir Putin, see if we can get it ended.

00:48But, look, these are brave people. They're fighting these wars all over the place.

00:53You know, last week they had, I guess, close, I told you, close to 7,000 young soldiers.

01:01Russian and Ukrainian soldiers were killed. 7,000 in one week. It's crazy. It's crazy.

01:07So I'll be speaking to Putin. No, I had a good meeting with Zelensky, and I had a lot of good

01:13meetings. We had a lot of good meetings with a lot of people, a lot of great leaders.

01:17But he's fighting a brave battle. It's a tough battle. Yeah.
