I did. I did. They're going to be helping. Russia's going to be helping. Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed once it sounds a little strange, but I was explaining to the President President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices. So a lot of a lot of good things came out of that call today. But they were in the works for two weeks with Steve and with Jared and Marco and everybody.
Did Russia agree or did Putin agree to a ceasefire to allow a referendum to take place?
Not a ceasefire. And that's one of the points we're working on right now. No, not a ceasefire. He feels that look you know, they're fighting and to stop and then to if they have to start again, which is a possibility, he doesn't want to be in that position. I understand that position. The President feels strongly about that or something, but I think we're finding ways that we can get around that. But I understand President Putin from that standpoint. You know, you have to understand the other side. And you know, I'm on the side of peace, I'm on the side of stopping the war. So but I think that's a problem that's going to get solved, yeah.
Would people who live outside of Ukraine who fled during the war be allowed to participate in the referendum?
What do you mean people where live?
The refugees.
The people that left. If we speak about the people who are abroad, who are not on territory of Ukraine you mean as in Poland, in Germany we have millions of people. Yeah, they have referendum it's the same of elections, the same way how people come and vote, they have rights for this. And of course, they have to come. That's why if we will come to referendum, yes, if we will come to such decision, people need infrastructure for this and it's not simple. And that's why we spoke about it. It can't be in one day, very quickly, it's difficult because we need infrastructure when you have millions people, you have to build it in Europe, mostly in Europe for today.
President Trump, I know you've sounded an optimistic note here but what happens in a few weeks if if things sputter? What are you prepared to do?
They keep fighting and they keep dying. No good. But if things don't happen, they keep fighting and they keep dying. And we don't want that to happen. He doesn't want it to happen. And President Putin doesn't want it to happen either. Okay? Thank you very much, everybody. Appreciate it. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Enjoy lunch. I don't know, was it a good lunch? Yes, Mr. There's no lunch he walked in he said this place is gorgeous. I don't think he wants to go to the White House anymore, that's the problem. I'm ready to go as well. I know, we are. It is it is the White House is a very special place and so is this. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you very much.
