Zelenskyy: Thank you so much, Mr. President. Thank you for the invitation. I really hope this document will be the first step to guarantees for Ukraine. Our people, our children, we count that America will not stop support for us. It is is important to support.
I want to discuss it further during our conversation. The infrastructure and the security guarantees. Ii understand what Europe is ready to do. I want to discuss with you what the United States will be ready to do.
I really count on your strong position to stop Putin. You said that enough with the war. I thing that is very important. At the very beginning of the war, is a killer and a terrorist. I hope together we can stop him, save our country, our values, our freedom, our democracy, and of course, no compromises with a killer.
Of course, we spoke about it by phone, about production. We have the best in the world because of the war.
Of course, we need very much air defense. You have the best air defense in the world. We are under attack from Russia and I want to speak how we can exchange the licenses. We are open to share our licenses with you. We need licenses for quick production of air defense.
Even after the war, we need our nation to be secure. That is why we need the air shield. I wanted to speak. I think France and the UK already spoke to you. Europe is not ready without the United States. They are not ready to be as strong as we need.
The last point, last but not least, about exchange. You know the crazy Russians stole 20,000 Ukrainian children. They changed their names. They change their families, relatives. We want to bring them back. It is a big goal for me. by the way, more than 4000 from Russian prison. There are thousands more in the prison. I wanted to share some images. Can I now?
Trump: Please
Zelenskyy: I want you to understand the circumstances and the situation they are in and the attitude of Russia toward our prisoners, before and after. Before and after. Understanding the substance, ladies and men. they do not eat, they beat them. A lot of bad things. Even during the war, everybody knows there are rules during war. These guys do not have any rules. 50, 60 kilograms, a lot of such things. I did not want to show you the images of children. I will just share them with you.
Trump: That is tough stuff.
Zelenskyy: I wanted very much to give these to you. Stolen pastors because it is not a Russian church. They moved pastors to the prison. At the end of last year, we brought three pastors that we could exchange.
Trump: That is tough.
Zelenskyy: I wanted to show you. Thank you very much.
Trump: You wanted to get that in?
Zelenskyy: Yeah, Yeah, of course.
Trump: I think we will, we will.
