00:00Yeah, he's got a busy agenda and he's got a tough job, hasn't he, trying to reconcile
00:05one narrative with the narrative he's now going to get there on the ground in Kyiv.
00:10And one of the other things he might get an update on, Sergei, is perhaps the reality
00:15with regards to Mr Zelensky's popularity.
00:17What is the reality?
00:18Well, the reality is that Zelensky is still quite popular as a president.
00:24And honestly, a recent statement by President Trump made him even more popular.
00:29So people are actually uniting behind him because they don't see the alternative.
00:34They don't want any elections right now.
00:36So it seems that he's getting the popular mandate from the people and actually he's
00:41even opposition leaders to lead these negotiations and negotiate the peace to the extent possible.
00:49So the reality is quite opposite to what President Trump stated.
00:53There's nothing close to 4 percent support.
00:56All the reports say that he still enjoys the 50 percent plus majority of the support
01:03of Ukrainians.
