PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY: Not to have a war to stop Putin, but the first step is ceasefire, energy ceasefire. OK, if they want energy ceasefire, we are open for this.

Don't attack us. Don't kill our children. We will stop attack your diesel, and I think it's fair, fair deal. President Trump said that Ukraine needs a new president. So first of all, with all respect to President Trump, it's up to our society, up to our people to choose one or another leader.

Yes, we are in war, and how to do elections is really difficult. Not only that it goes absolutely not secured and it goes out of our law, out of our Constitution, but the main thing is to have security infrastructure for this, to give possibility to people to vote.

Of course, it's up to Ukrainians when to vote, how to do it, and to choose one or another person. But if to answer on this question, I know that Putin wanted very much to change the president in Ukraine. I understand it.

And if President Trump really wants to have some changes during elections, I also shared it with his team.

So please tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organize elections.

Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people, exactly Ukrainian people. It's not just.
