Zelenskyy demands 'MORE PRESSURE' on Russia after Trump's ceasefire announcement

>> Bill: NOW AT 9:2TWO MONDAY. MORNING BREAKING NEWS FROM. UKRAINE. PRESIDENT OF THAT COUNTRY IS. SAYING RUSSIA IS BEHIND NEW. ATTACKS AGAINST ENERGY. FACILITIES. DESPITE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S. ANNOUNCEMENT OVER THE WEEKEND. THAT BOTH SIDES AGREED TO AN. ENERGY CEASE-FIRE. THE STATUS OF WHERE WE ARE ON. THIS NOW. LIVE FROM KYIV IS UKRAINIAN. PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY. >> THANKS SO MUCH. HI BILL AND DANA. >> Bill: WE'LL TALK ABOUT PUTIN. IN A MOMENT. FOR THE RECORD, WILL YOU SAY. HERE TODAY THAT UKRAINE AGREES. TO THIS CEASE-FIRE? >> OF COURSE. UKRAINE ALWAYS SUPPORTED THE. IDEA OF THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT. AND THE PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM THE. VERY BEGINNING OF HIS TERM TO. SUPPORT CEASE-FIRE.

WE ALREADY TODAY FOR ENERGY. CEASE-FIRE AS PRESIDENT TRUMP. SAID. BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT PUTIN IS. READY BECAUSE EVEN AFTER. YESTERDAY'S MESSAGES FROM THE. PRESIDENT PUTIN ATTACKED OUR GAS. INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. >> Bill: UKRAINE HAS ONE. REFINERY. BASED ON WHAT I'M SEEING HERE. THAT REFINERY HAS BEEN HIT. REPEATEDLY. WE CAN SHOW OUR VIEWERS TAKE. RUSSIA HAS A WHOLE SERIES OF.

NETWORKS THAT MAKE UP ITS OIL. REFINERIES. THE LAST REFINERY YOU HIT IN. RUSSIA WAS THURSDAY OF LAST. WEEK. IS THAT STILL THE CASE? >> YES, OF COURSE. WE ARE NOT SPEAKING ABOUT JUST. REFINERIES. WE SPEAK ABOUT OUR PEOPLE AND. ATTACKS ON CIVILIAN. INFRASTRUCTURES. REFINERIES ARE IMPORTANT FOR US. AND ELECTRICITY IS VERY. IMPORTANT. PEOPLE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.

ELECTRICITY. WE HAVE DIFFERENT ENERGY. INFRASTRUCTURE. FOR THEM WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS. GAS AND OIL. THEY X PORT AND USE IT. INTERNALLY AT HOME. WE USE MOSTLY ELECTRICITY AND. THAT'S WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT. THINK ABOUT ENERGY CEASE-FIRE. IT MEANS ONLY ONE THING. THAT THEY DON'T ATTACK OUR. ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE. AND WE DON'T RESPOND ON THEIR. ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS IS CALLED ENERGY. CEASE-FIRE.

>> Bill: THURSDAY WAS ONLY FOUR. DAYS AGO. SO AS IT STANDS MONDAY AFTERNOON. YOUR TIME, WILL YOUR MILITARY. REFRAIN FROM HITTING REFINERIES. IN RUSSIA? >> OUR OPERATION, COMMUNICATE. WHAT WE WILL DO NEXT. BUT YESTERDAY AND TODAY AT. NIGHT, YES, WE DIDN'T ATTACK ANY. ENERGY OBJECTS IN THE TERRITORY. OF RUSSIA BECAUSE PRESIDENT. TRUMP SAID THAT IT WILL BE. ENERGY CEASE-FIRE BETWEEN. UKRAINE AND RUSSIA.

AND WE DIDN'T HIT BACK BUT. RUSSIA ATTACKED OUR GAS. STATIONS, ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE. AND OTHER THINGS. >> Bill: MR. PRESIDENT, HAS. ANYONE HEARD FROM PUTIN AFTER. THE OVERTOUR OR DECLARATION BY. THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT THIS. WEEKEND? >> I THINK THAT PUTIN, YOU KNOW, IT WAS HIS ANSWER TO PRESIDENT. TRUMP. HE ATTACKED OUR ENERGY.

INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THE COMMUNICATION FROM. RUSSIA WAS VERY CLEAR THAT THEY. DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ENERGY. CEASE-FIRE AND IT IS A PITY. BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS -- THEY WILL. FIND ANY KIND OF REASONS NOT TO. STOP THIS WAR AND WHY WE NEED. MORE PRESSURE ON RUSSIA. >> Bill: THEY MOMENT THERE IS NO. CEASE-FIRE. IS THIS WHAT IT TAKES TO GET. THERE? OR DO YOU NEED A LOT MORE, SIR?

>> SORRY. THE CEASE-FIRE IN ANY CASE BUT. BETTER TO HAVE PEACE. OF COURSE WE WANT TO END THIS. WAR AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. EACH DAY A LOT OF LOSSES. HUMAN LOSSES EACH DAY. NOW AFTER RUSSIA ATTACKS WE LOSE. 20 TO 30 PEOPLE, JUST CIVILIANS.

I AM SPEAKING ABOUT PEOPLE, ABOUT FAMILIES, ABOUT CHILDREN. WE LOSE FIVE TO SEVEN CHILDREN, YOU KNOW? TWO DAYS WE LOSE CHILDREN. AND THIS IS AWFUL. THIS IS A BIG TRAGEDY AND WHY WE. NEED CEASE-FIRE TO COMMUNICATE. AND TO FIND DIPLOMATIC WAY OF. ENDING THIS WAR. OF COURSE, CEASE-FIRE IS A GOOD. FIRST STEP FROM BOTH SIDES.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF RUSSIA DOESN'T WANT TO. SUPPORT CEASE-FIRE, I DON'T KNOW. WHY. I THINK THE ONLY REASON THEY. DON'T WANT TO STOP THIS WAR. BUT IF THEY DON'T WANT TO. SUPPORT CEASE-FIRE, AND ENERGY. CEASE-FIRE IS A GOOD FIRST STEP. CEASE-FIRE OR IT CAN BE. AGRICULTURAL CEASE-FIRE. THEY ARE BLOCKING SEA.

THEY ARE BLOCKING BLACK SEA AND. IN OTHER COUNTRIES IN AFRICA, ASIA, THEY NEED OUR WHEAT, AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS BUT WE. CAN'T GIVE THEM BECAUSE RUSSIA. IS BLOCKING KERB-THEY ARE. BLOCKING THE BLACK SEA. OF COURSE, THEY HAVE THE SAME. PROBLEMS FOR TODAY AND WE ARE. VERY OPEN FOR CEASE-FIRE. >> Bill: LET ME PLAY THE. COMMENTS FROM OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS IS SATURDAY AT THE WHITE. HOUSE AND THEN JOINT BASE.

ANDREWS. HERE IS THE U.S. PRESIDENT. TRUMP. WATCH HERE. >> President Trump: WE TOLD THEM. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. DON'T HIT THE DIESEL FUEL. THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM, A BIG. SHORTAGE. WHAT DOES HE DO? HE GOES AND HITS THE DIESEL. FUEL. HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS. I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE AN. ELECTION AND HE COULD HAVE. SETTLED THIS THING MANY TIMES. AND HE SHOULD HAVE AN ELECTION. AND HE CAN'T RAISE THE PRICE OF. OIL. >> Bill: TWO THINGS IN SAID IN. THERE. I WANT QUICK ANSWERS FOR THE. SAKE THAT THE TIME WE HAVE HERE.

WILL UKRAINE REFRAIN AGAIN AS I. ASKED A MOMENT AGO FROM HITTING. THE REFINERY SYSTEM IN RUSSIA? >> IF RUSSIA WILL NOT ATTACK OUR. ENERGY, WE WILL NOT ATTACK THEIR. ENERGY. AND IT DOESN'T --. >> Bill: SO -- RIGHT NOW THEY. ARE NOT REFRAINING, SO I TAKE. YOUR ANSWER TO BE A NO OR EVEN A. MAYBE BASED ON WHAT THE. PRESIDENT SAID. ALSO HE IS REPEATING THIS CALL. FOR ELECTIONS. I KNOW YOUR COUNTRY IS CURRENTLY. UNDER MARSHALL LAW.

YOU WILL SAY YOU DO AN ELECTION. IF YOU GET A CEASE-FIRE FOR 60. DAYS. HOW FAR ARE WE FROM THAT? AT THE MOMENT IT DOESN'T SEEM. REALISTIC. WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO. PRESIDENT TRUMP AS OF TODAY. THEN? >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FIRST OF ALL, EVERYBODY. UNDERSTANDS THAT THE PRICES ON. DIESEL DOESN'T DEPEND ON OUR. ATTACKS ON DIESEL IN RUSSIA. EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THAT IT. DEPENDS ON THE BLOCKING HORMUZ,

STRAIT OF HORMUZ. SO IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE. THE SECOND POINT IF PRESIDENT. TRUMP WANTS TO CHANGE THE LEADER. IN UKRAINE HE WHATS TO KNOW ONLY. OUR PEOPLE CAN CHANGE AND I AM. READY FOR ELECTIONS, REALLY, WE. NEED MINIMUM 60 DAYS FOR. SECURITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO. PREPARE ELECTION. NOW WE HAVE ATTACKS EACH ONE.

HOUR, ATTACK US EACH HOUR. WE ARE NOT SPEAKING ABOUT. DOZENS, WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT. THOUSANDS OF DRONES, BALLISTIC. MISSILES, CRUISE MISSILES, HOW. PEOPLE CAN VOTE? IT IS NOT EVEN ABOUT THE LAW. THE LAW IS VERY IMPORTANT BUT WE. SPEAK ABOUT SECURITY. EACH HOUR OUR PEOPLE GO TO. SHELTERS, TO BOMB SHELTERS. BECAUSE OF ATTACKS FROM THE. RUSSIANS. IF THEY WANT TO STOP THE WAR. THEY HAVE TO GO TO CEASE-FIRE.

IF THEY WANT TO DO EVERYTHING TO. CHANGE THE PRESIDENT IN UKRAINE, THEY HAVE TO RESPECT THIS CHOICE. OF PEOPLE LIKE IN YOUR COUNTRY. AND EVERY COUNTRY INCLUDING. RUSSIA BY THE WAY. >> Bill: WE UNDERSTAND TRUMP AND. PUTIN SPOKE OVER THE WEEKEND AT. SOME POINT. LATE LAST WEEK. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SPOKE. WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP? >> THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO. PRESIDENT TRUMP IN NEW YORK.

I THINK, YES, IT WAS NEW YORK. THE END OF SEPTEMBER DURING. GENERAL ASSEMBLY. >> Bill: UNDERSTOOD. SIR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. WE ARE FOLLOWING IT BY THE HOUR. AND YOU ARE WELCOME TO COM.
