2:08 pm
defensive capabilities. and this is very much in line with what vladimir putin had said that and he wanted to accomplish in a ukraine. on friday, we heard him speak at lou, sneaky stadium where he told the crowd there, that they know we know what we have to do and how to do it then at what course. and that we will accomplish all our plans. this am hypersonic cruise missile now at being used for the 1st time by the countries defensive military. and it seems that they are very much using most of the new our weapons that they have in their arsenal to trying accomplish their mission in ukraine. the crimes for us to run, follow them is that unscrew, grew the size russia for glorifying the invasion of friday's moscow stadium rally. zelinski said it's in everyone's interest to begin meaningful please talks and
2:09 pm
avoid higher losses in the war. just over 80. must have just, this is the time to meet. this is the time to speak time to restore territorial integrity and fairness for ukraine. otherwise, the losses of russia will be such that you won't have any resources to get up after that artist. today in russia, they celebrate the annexation of crimea. i would like to highlight one detail. they reported that overall there were 200000 people participating, 100000 outside and approximately 95000 in the stadium. this is the exact number of the russian manpower involved in the invasion of ukraine, 14000 dead bodies, and hundreds of thousands of wounded. this is the exact number of russian forces during this war. this is the price in just over 3 weeks. our russian president, vladimir putin, is laid out his demands for an end to the war in ukraine during a phone call with turkish liter raj of ty voted on according to those on the call food and once give to accept that it should be neutral and not join nato and is
