Diesel, uh, is extremely high all over the world. [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=8) I thought you asked President Zelensky not- I did ... to do that anymore. [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=11) I did. Zelensky's a, not a good guy for us to deal with. Biden gave him hundreds of billions of dollars, um, billions and billions of dollars worth of equipment. [0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=20) Have you lost faith in him? Well, I think they're gonna e- they're gonna end up with a settlement of some kind. [0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=25) They're not gonna do it with him. He doesn't wanna settle. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=27) Uh, he says he wants to settle, but he doesn't. [0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=30) No, I'm not a, I'm not a big fan of Zelensky. [0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=33) They've destroyed that country. That country... [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=36) Look, it really began with Barack Hussein Obama when they made them give up Crimea. [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=41) Mm-hmm. Crimea's the most valuable part, by far, of Ukraine. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=45) Yeah. You know what I'm talking. It's- And on the Black Sea ... four sides of ocean. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=49) Right. Most beautiful piece of land. I'm a real estate developer. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=52) I know- Sure ... I know good land. Yeah. [0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=54) They gave up Crimea. But, uh, where it happened in a little bit more modern time is when, uh, Zelensky went to see Putin, and they had a very bad meeting. And as you know, Putin hates Zelensky, and Zelensky hates Putin. And when you have that kind of hatred, it's very hard to get something settled. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=78) But that's a war that should have never started. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=80) Does that end before you leave? If the election weren't rigged, if the US election would have ri- weren't rigged, that would have never happened. That war would have never happened. [1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=87) That's the saddest part. But then it was supposed to be a very much qui- you know, very quick war. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=92) Right. And if you remember, the tanks going up the highway right into Kyiv, had the general, who was obviously a not a very good general, not made a right turn into farmland, which was soaked and soaking wet from the heaviest rain in 10 years, they say. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=106) Mm-hmm. He went right up into the mud, and it was like quicksand. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=109) And those tanks, so they got, I guess, I don't know if you'd call it lucky or not lucky, frankly, 'cause it's been five years, and Ukraine has lost a tremendous... You know, Ukraine has lost so many of its men, and Russia too, but Russia's a massive country. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=126) Russia has millions of people to lose. Yeah, 150 million people. Does that war end before you leave office? [2:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=131) Uh, it should end soon. I think they actually both would like to see it end. But I think, I find Zelensky to be more difficult to deal with than Putin. [2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8N1XPmSJt1eU/en/trump-on-zelensky-putin-and-ukraine-s-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries?t=140) Okay.
