Well, as for talking to the bald devil, can you imagine

talks in a Putin-Zelensky format?

With the Russians?

I don't think it's just him.

I think there's a group, I think a group of our

people from Ukraine should meet with a group of people

from the Kremlin.

Because, I mean, they installed those people in the DPR,

and in the LPR.

What's the point of talking to them?

If they were the ones deciding, we should be talking to them, but as it is, what

Point?

We need to talk to these people.

So, can you imagine talks with the bald devil?

Easily.

Well, why not?

How would you sit down to talk?

We should say it all very simply.

What do you want, what are your terms—since you came to us, write

the points.

What is needed.

What is needed, guys, here are your points.

Then I'd take those points.

Honestly, peace has to be on our terms.

Then I'd say, look, and here are our points.

We'd meet somewhere in the middle.

That is, we'd have to give something up, agree to terms.

It's very easy to decide what.

Very easy.

Don't decide alone, never make yourself out to be,

I always say that to myself.

Don't act like a know-it-all.

There will always be someone smarter.

There will always be someone more professional than you.

Take this list.

Go on television.

Where the conversation is taking place.

Could you explain it to people?

100 percent.

To people.

Look, I spoke with him.

Here's the list.

Great.

And here's our list.

And here's what they're agreeing to.

And then the people.

Then I go on to tell you.

I believe we need to do it like this.

But, as with choosing the president.

The whole decision is up to you.

Here's a referendum for you.

Don't want it?

We don't have a referendum.

There, it's through the deputies; by the time you push a referendum through.

It's all simple.

I don't need to go through your deputies.

We need to resolve the issue.

Lawmakers, don't you want a referendum?

You won't give us that chance?

Go have your fun.

Online.

On TV.

Guys, we need to at least know, at least know the result.

What people think.

People vote for you.

They won't be unequivocally for or unequivocally against.

But there will be some kind of story.

They approved the list and went on living.
