Are you going to have a separate meeting with President Zelensky again?
I had one.
What would a Ukraine deal look like?
Well, we have one, but we had a good meeting.
I'm meeting him later on today.
We had a very good meeting.
Look, Russia should make a deal.
Russia has lost tremendous amounts of people, and so has Ukraine.
Last month, they lost 35,000 soldiers between the two of them.
Think of it.
This is on a monthly basis.
They averaged 25,000 people.
Mostly soldiers.
Young, beautiful people.
And it's crazy what's going on there.
But we had a meeting, and we'll see how.
I spoke with President Putin on Sunday, and it's sort of the same thing.
I mean, they just keep going, fighting, losing soldiers.
They lose so many soldiers.
This is not since World War II is anything like this.
I settled eight wars.
This was the one I thought was going to be the easiest to settle.
There's a lot of dislike between the two leaders.
But, yeah, I'm meeting with him again later on today.
Are you going to have a special focus on Ukraine?
Well, we're going to look.
Now we focused on Iran.
That's going to be in the back, in the rear view mirror.
But we'll be...
I just...
Look, we have nothing to do with it.
We sell weapons to them.
We don't even give them...
Obama gave them $350 billion worth of weapons.
Gave, which was crazy.
The European Union pays us full price for weapons.
But it's not that.
It has no impact on us, other than we sell weapons.
We're thousands of miles away.
But the only reason I'm in...
I don't like to see 25,000 young people die every month.
Every month, 25,000 people die.
Young people.
They're just starting their life.
They go to this front and they get blown up.
And Ukraine is losing a lot of people, too.
I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous.
So, yeah, I'm going to do whatever I can.
