sta in your own adventure, now counter and ways. the no, i'm real about this and this is the news on life from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. it's time to end is bloodletting and restore peace. and i think we're going to do it back in the negotiating table. the french president visits the white house as europe looks to play its part and bringing in ends of the war and ukraine . it's been 3 years since russia's invasion, the hundreds of thousands of people have been killed on both sides. 3 needs

just lost. this also has searching for the missing in guys are buried under the rubble. but the heavy machinery they need is still stuck at the border sedans on a re, gaines. more time between near the capital limiting the movement at the bottom of the tree. rapid support and as for host foxes saw have been knocked out crickets champions, trophy focused on space was field or new zealand bangladesh and a good game. and helping the, the city of this dog and the watering ukraine, the international community seems to be moving towards a resolution of the conflict as european and other western leaders gathering chief in the show of supports with president. if not, i mean, as a landscape different,

and so the united nations passed a resolution instigated by ukraine. second resolution by the united states was heavily modified to make it clear that the russia was the aggressor and the conflict. meanwhile, donald trump hosted the french president emanuel mack home at the white house. europe is looking to offer peacekeepers as part of any solution. trump is confident that a deal for rare assman roles will be signed in a play. our focus is on achieving a ceasefire as soon as possible and ultimately a permanent piece. my meeting with president mccrae and today was another important step forward. and that when that severe, because he's been very much involved right from the beginning and trying to get it over there, we're going to get it done. i believe that emanuel agrees with me, and many of the most important issues, chief among them is uh, this is the right time. it may be the only time president buckle says the only way to achieve a lasting peace is to have sufficient guarantees from the russian president present

. putting violates of this piece. and i had several discussion, especially the beginning of 2020 to several times, 7 hours with prison putting 15 days before long shingle to see a tech you did not ever seen. but we didn't have security guns is so is this is why being strong and having did the runs capacities is the only way to be sure it will be respected. but it go ahead is joining us live from washington dc. it was an interesting press conference, wasn't it just if nothing else to see the dynamic that was happening between process of macro and uh, president trump in terms of the way that the us and the european union members are essentially just juggling around each other, trying to negotiate the positions of both exactly. i think there

were alarm bells as certainly across ukraine. but across europe, when we saw the 1st piece talks took place in saudi arabia between the us and russia. ukraine was not there. i think there were even further concerns when we heard us president donald trump repeat things that we've heard from the kremlin and calling him load or mirror zalinski. and unlike the dictator, that's obviously one of their talking points. uh so i think what we're seeing now is a scramble throughout europe to try and sway this you as president. obviously he's focused on that mineral deal and i'll talk about that more in a minute. but i think the most important thing that came out of that press conference is that us, president donald trump said russian president vladimir putin would be okay with european forces in ukraine, perhaps acting as peacekeepers. although i don't think it was that it's quite that specific. uh, that would be a step forward obviously, and the fact that europe says their offer to put those people in put their forces.

they're obviously not on the front lines. i think one of the things that there's been great concern about is what the us has already said. they're willing to do, for example, likely get rid of sanctions ad. uh and i think this is my crone president, my manual, my crowns attempt to try and sway donald trump back into his thinking that ukraine needs to be an independent country. it was notable that when asked repeatedly, president trump wouldn't say what he expected. rushed to give off it, but most for his part, my crowd present him a crowd repeatedly talked about security guarantees and it was very interesting said basically if the us gets disagreement together. busy and then it's violated, the us would basically have some sort of have to have some sort of response because that's what ukraine and europe once they want to know that if they come to an agreement and it's violated, that the us would take some sort of action but it then you said, you know,

deal on the middle is as close. that seems unlikely. yeah, that's in terms of the, the minerals, this is an interesting one because it appears as though it's happening. i'm sort of a law on the sidelines of the negotiations, and yet, at the same time, it seems to be intrinsic to moving the cx 5 deal forward. and yet we don't have a great deal of information about what this deal is and how it's actually going to work. donald trump seems to be confident for that deal is going to go ahead. well donald trump, i think, especially in the 2nd presidency, is demonstrated that he believes he can demand pretty much whatever he wants of anyone and get it. well, what he's asking for is, for the aid that the us congress gave to ukraine, which most estimates are about a $170000000000.00. now the $350000000000.00 that the president likes to repeat. he wants to see $500000000000.00 return. so more than 2 times the amount of aid he wants to basically change the agreement, the congress gave it as

a grip. it's not clear legally, he has the authority to demand that the aid change it's form into a loan. but what she has put these people's foot forward is they want to respond to that from the rear or minerals, oil ports infrastructure. it gets paid into a us controlled fund up to $5500000000000.00. that's for the past day. did he said any going forward for every dollar given you create needs to gives us back to dollars? obviously that is a deal that is meant to send the message to zalinski. this is a horrible option for you because it has no security guarantees. zalinski for his, for his part is said that he's not willing to do that deal. but this is very much in line with the trump play book. he, as he said, during the press conference, he's a deal maker. this is what he knows. so he thinks that the weight of the office, the weight of the us is enough to force lensky into making this deal. so once he

does not seem likely to go for that, but they are going to continue negotiations. there's been really blatant threats from the trump officials and i think uh they're, they're basically bearing him to say no. so i expect we'll see zalinski seem try to slow walk. this is the president's laser focused on this right now. uh, so they'd be best served that they could get him to move on to something else. well, they negotiate body. thanks for much as you've had to call him. they're talking to us from washington, d. c. a draft resolution supporting ukraine's being passed over whelming late in the year ended, blames russia for the war and says, a peaceful resolution would need russian forces to withdraw all. let's bring and give them alexander who's up united nations headquarters in new york. it's been a busy several hours at the you and just to tell us, and a more about these resolutions, just bring this up to date a. yeah, this was a resolution in the general assembly that had been worked on for many weeks by

ukraine. it had more than 50 co sponsors, and it was tied to the 3 year anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. now, the resolution called for russia to pull out of ukrainian territory called on the reaffirming ukrainians a sovereignty. and uh, also that it clearly stated it was russia that to you and a laterally invaded ukraine. this is something that the us certainly would have and it did vote for the past 3 years, but not anymore. the us about the voted against this resolution, citing with russia and some of brushes allies such as such as north korea. so things have really changed here diplomatically, if you will say, nevertheless, the resolution did pass over whelming leave with 93 member states voting for it. the us offered their own resolution,

it was only 3 lines long. it did not reference who started or it did not make any specific demands of moscow whatsoever. and so ultimately, european countries came together offered their own addendums to this, if you will, and ultimately that pass. but clearly it was a war of words. but clearly this was a major rebuke of us in the us stance now that they are positioning closer to the russian position here. so good. those are votes of taking place in the general assembly. i understand the security challenge was also meeting about ukraine. that usually is a very contentious issue as well. yeah, that's right. that's been a long day here. un headquarters, and even after this long session and the general assembly, which is still going on by the way, they are now just convening in the security council chambers as we speak. they are going to be discussing ukraine again. they'll be hearing from the top,

you and official about the situation in ukraine. but also the us is taking the same resolution. it's so many european countries say they don't want and they're gonna put it up for a vote in the security council again. so clearly it's unclear, quite frankly, if it'll pass. it seems unlikely, but we're already hearing about more amendments to this un to this us draft resolution. so we'll have to see what happens here in the next, you know, half an hour to an hour or so, but clearly this is just back and forth. but the big picture here is very clearly the us has broken with ukraine and ukraine's main european allies and has clearly taken a much more neutral stance. many european diplomats. it's no longer neutral. it's simply citing with russia now. yeah, gabriel, of course, in the last several hours we've seen european union members who have been charging uh billions of dollars to an age to ukraine. we've seen a manual mccall of course of the white sizes with us president donald trump,

with regard to the un and what we've seen. what does that mean in the terms of the context of the, the strange relations that we're seeing between the us and european countries over the future of ukraine as well. it just shows that the golf is wide and between the united states under president donald trump and european nations, particularly those that are so strong in their support for ukraine. i mean, there was some thought here at the un that perhaps the trump administration would take a more moderate role at the un if you will. but clearly that's not the case. the us ambassador has not even been a ride to your new york yet. they're using a charge the affair. she is here and clearly trump has told his people here at the un to take a very neutral stance and the really from their nose if you will, as ukraine and ukraine's european partners. and that's what i think you're seeing

playing out here. and it's really, i think, been an eye opener for many european diplomats here at the un. they now know what they're dealing with, with this trump administration when it comes to ukraine. and many are saying privately and some, even publicly, it appears that the us is no longer a friend to europe when it comes to ukraine. gabrielle is going to be interesting, isn't it? given what you've been saying about the shifts and, and, and stands with many of the members of you and secure un general assembly is gonna be interesting to see how that reflects in the secure st. john's. so for an out of here, but let us onto the you, i'm thank you very much indeed. and during 3 years of fighting, both ukraine and russia have made major a strategic gains and losses, and many tens of thousands of being killed or injured on both sides. the count and picture on the battlefield favors russia. it significantly expanded its control and the institute for the study of war says multiple now holds one 5th of ukrainian territory. meanwhile, ukrainian forces have pushed into russia's cross regions,

capturing 800 square kilometers. and europe and data is came to meet the president of already visit landscape implies more than $3000000000.00 worth of aid. charles profits reports from the ukrainian capital of the many european leaders have made the journey by train from all sorts of keys in recent years. but this time, 3 years to the day since rush is full scale invasion of ukraine and with a new us approach to peace from donald trump. there's a fall greatest sense of urgency near ukraine's leader having faced a maelstrom of pressure, including insults by trump, in recent weeks. those that help from europe is now more important than any time since the will began. started the each time the senior license, rushes strategic target is your european way of life. and therefore in security, european destiny cannot be defined without your ukraine europe. together with the united states, we must be at the table for tax in front of russia,

holding some live coverage, not from the meeting of the united nations security tongue, so which is discussing ukraine. this is the just finishing speaking. there is a representative from the united kingdom and the prototype of presidency is being held by china. mr. and we are now moving to the next sort of thing, which i believe is the united states, but it's listed in on our resolution. i would note that the united states already a suited to the request of some members of the council to delay this meeting because we had originally requested to have the meeting can be in this morning. and as we just discussed in consultations, a numerous consultations did take place between the united states and every single mission represented. in this council, the united states drafted this text to mark the commitment of the united nations and the security council in particular to bringing durable end to the war. and

ukraine to our resolution is simple, straightforward, and focused on the future. not the past. the united states calls on member states to vote on the resolution today. the 3rd anniversary of the conflicts escalation, when we have momentum behind us. and because we do not have another day to spare every day that goes by without peace means more people dead, more destruction, more misery. the united states has consulted with council members throughout the weekend and all morning and into the afternoon. we believe this council has had sufficient time to consider the simple text, the draft implores a swift end to the conflict. and further urges a lasting piece. we can and should and must agree on that. mister president, it's time to vote. i think you go that far with that bill,

you know to be the size of the us are the front us some proof, all of the proposal to attend the meeting until 3 pm on the 25th of february. would that be on the us representative expressed of opposition to it. then you understand the rewards 19 percent to really slow to 3 of the 4. so the 3.3 of the provisional rules of procedure of the security council, i shall put the proposal key of your bill from the student vote center on the wait, those in favor with the proposal. please raise by hand fund doing that. can you hold those against

she's on that single of sessions. so j give all the result of the voting is as follows. as well that he proposal from new received central and 6 votes inside the sun bill for 3 bills against little how to get 6 of sentients you a mail. the proposal is rejected. having failed to of $109.00 or $72.00 volts

formation internally, which in that case is a security account. so we'll begin. it's consideration of item 2 of the agenda. i think we told me to be in to your number of the comes so have before them document as you stroke 2025 and yet stroke 119 piece may what people namely as far as the text of address resolution submitted by the united states of america finally, a point in that they can so is ready to proceed to the vote on the drums to resolution before it within that sounds like you know, do i can find and i'll give the flow to those members of the council who wished to make a statement before the vote summit,

which i will give the flow to the representative of the us. thank you, mr. president. and i would like to thank the presidency for scheduling this meeting today. today we stand on the precipice of history with a solemn task, creating conditions to end the bloody a score on the european continent. since the success of catechisms that spurred the creation of this council. in june of 1945, the nations of the world stood together, bloodied from 2 brutal wars and made a decision. on the day we signed the un charter, we cast aside despair and chose hope. so we set aside hatred and chose reason. and most importantly, we turned away from the death march of war and charted a pass to peace. it is time for us to bring the un and specifically the security

council back to its original purpose. the maintenance of international peace and security, including the peaceful settlement of disputes. let us now step up as council members to chart a path forward so that the security council can do its job. and and the hor, generations of ukrainians and russians have died. husbands who will never return home to their wives. children will never find the arms of their mother's parents who will never again see their sons and daughters. the scale of the suffering is staggering. the war has also brought the world closer to a nuclear confrontation. once again, raising the spectre of fire ash and total destruction. thus, it is our responsibility as you and counsel, cert, security council members, to help in the agony and pull ourselves back from the brink. continuing to engage

in rhetorical rivalries in new york may make diplomats feel vindicated, but it will not save souls on the battlefield. let us prove to ourselves and to our citizens that we can come together and agree on the most basic principles. let us show one another that the bold vision of peace that once pulled us out of hell can prevail. our draft resolution is elegant, and its simplicity is symbolic. simple, 1st step toward peace. the 3 brief paragraphs echo the spirit of the un charter and must, as in 1945, a firm that this war is awful that the un can help and it, and that piece is possible. as we here are your appear in colleagues when they say they want a durable piece, but not at any cost mr. president to them i would say rest assured that we to

seek this variable peace and we would remind these colleagues that this resolution is not a peace deal and it imposes no cost. rather, this resolution represents the path to peace. we urge all security council members to join the united states under the bold leaders of president trump, in this effort to vanquish the storage of this war. we urge all council members to join us on this past the peace. as a final note, the united states has called this meeting, which has already with us, a sense, been rescheduled once. i think you, mr. president, regarding jim a well the us for the statement, i mean which in human there now get the flow to the okay. we are introducing amendments on the hall falls, denmark, greece, from slovenia, and the united kingdom that can be no equivalence between

russia and ukraine. in how this council refers to this war. russia chose to launch a war of aggression against the sofa in state costing hundreds of thousands of lives. the council must be clear on this to find a path to a sustainable peace. we must also be clear that peace must respect the un child to do credit and suffering t and territorial integrity within it's internationally recognized folders. these are cool principles or upholding the charter is the responsibility of every member of the un, especially this council. earlier today in the un general assembly that

was widespread support for these amendments among the wider un membership. we would hope that all in this council would be able to support similar language, a search. mr. president, we request 1st to replace, i quote, the russia, ukraine conflict on quote, in paragraph one ways, quote, the full scale invasion of ukraine by the russian federation, and quote, 2nd, to insert a new pre, i'm going to power girl 3 to read as follows. quote, re affirming its commitment to the suffering t, independence unity as territorial integrity of ukraine within its internationally recognized board is extending to its territorial waters

and to amend the operational power growth. so it would read, quote, employs a swift end to the conflict on further judges, a just last thing, and comprehensive peace between ukraine and russia in line with the you and shelter. and the principles of suffering equality and territorial integrity of states. and quote, i think to president a guy here young with that i can thank you. okay for the statement and i guess a for to, for us. i miss you look because you don't fit the president is a mobile. can you see amendments that we are proposing with for go to the representative of the united kingdom is on the house just presented enough to aim

at the school to show resolute commitment to 3 years. a floor to a comprehensive, just announcing peace in ukraine, which must be based on the united nations charter and international peace, which must respect the sovereignty, the territorial integrity and the independence of ukraine. a pace of peace which come in no case be sending them full capitulation of the aggressive states. these amendments also aimed to recall that there was an aggressor and an aggressive state . i were to pull that off to 3 years day to day a russia attacks a sovereign state which pose no threat to it, which word already illegally occupied a part of the territory since 2014 from this morning already with 23 united e u member states and united kingdom, 3 amendments to the resolution of the us and the general assembly we will remain

fully committed to supporting the un charter and its principles on guaranteeing that the piece that we all calling for and ukraine is solid. the last thing i'm just trying to you guys get from i think for us, for the statement, and i guess the flow to the russian federation a mr. president video to skip the american drive to a resolution and we have cranium crisis. we consider overall as a commonsense initiative as a step in the right direction, which reflects the one of the new administration of the white house. 2 of the girls really contributed to the peaceful segment of the conflict. we appreciate what was originally said several times by the president trump, namely the understanding that the crisis and ukraine has its own deeply rooted reasons was. so somebody show that this initiative is uh, to a greater extent in line with the understandings arrived during the russian american

contacts for the highest level. we propose a, an amendment to it on the need to eradicate the root causes of the crisis center. one of the swift terms of the conflict in search, including the dressing and so of course, is that the wind power this, it will be impossible to attain the lasting of sustainable settlement. it will not be possible to arrive someone that's talk to about you can the only operative paragraph over the document. we also have a 2nd amendment, which is a more accurate reflection over the agenda item and the nature of the crisis. we propose that in the 1st pre ambulance paragraph, we talk about a conflict around ukraine and, and the only comfort to paragraph. we talk about the lasting piece in ukraine,

the military base solution, figuration, new cream conflict with 4 degrees and the open at the federal free place between the ukraine and the russians. innovation was usually new, more than what we did not agree with the interpretation of the conflict as a and exclusively to way confrontation. whereas it has become clear a long time ago was that it's western at 1st and most european sponsors are working . use it as a you said it was a key or 1st thing in the school for them presenting this as a russia ukraine. and conflict is a very convenient view of the world, is very comfortable to hide behind that. otherwise they would have to acknowledge their, i'm seeing the role they've played and the genesis of the you find in conflict and we call them the members of the council to support these amendments. as regards the amendments submitted by the european countries while they are quite clearly replaced the sense of the american text, they make it in.
