the al jazeera explores how persistence and ingenuity helping the country to overcome a major challenge of its time. africa's new directions that goes of water on al jazeera, the message from europe, french press 9 on the con, won't have a potential deal with russia unless not mean a surrender of ukraine. as donald trump pushes for swift into the conflict, the carry, johnson, this is out here in dawson, so, so coming to the ukraine marxist some of the anniversary of 3 years of war is west. indeed,

this pledge movement, which we support against russia, searching for the missing and gosh, are buried under the rubble of the heading machinery. they still stuck at the folder and sit down. so, i mean, we gains more territory near the capital mixing the, moving to the permanent track that support the it's been 3 years since russian lost its full scale invasion of ukraine. will that united the us and you up to spend together as allies with keys and isolate most good thoughts as you create incentive, a 4th year of? well, there's uncertainty over washington's commitment to continue with support. president donald trump wants to deal with russia and he wants it cost your wants to do to only $1.00 that guarantees ukraine's security and sovereignty made those difference

says donald trump has hosted the french president of the car and the white house, the same data is agreed that the time has come to end the war and the call insisted that peace must mean the surrender of ukraine. and that keeps security and sovereignty must be guaranteed in any future do. most good. i will say this also the lease of world war 3 of us will be appointed, which is not going to stop it. those 2 countries already to such involvement from other countries as it relates to the world world war 3. and we're not gonna let that happen. they go into u. s. b speakers. so when the agreement is that they can watch the every, the solve the problem, that's going to be a problem and it's killing it. what's going on with the tell you. we've worked with president savanski and gotten to some of the details of the various phases of the negotiation most with being able to speak about some of this work with that. but this time has to talk about deployments of piece forces on ukrainian swell,

which of parts of the security guarantees. so explain your practical head joins us now with more from washington dc. now it was an interesting dynamic, wasn't it? i mean, a lot of praise for each other on the surface, yet seemingly deep divisions underneath the very deep divisions that i don't think we, we shouldn't forget what really triggered all of this. so donald trump campaign and the new or new crane on day one, he often says without actually explaining it that if he was president, the war would never started. but just think about what the world leaders we're looking at. they saw him pick up the phone very early on his presidency, talked to vladimir putin, his envoy. i spent 3 and a half hours speaking in person to the lot of airport and we saw the guys president to come out and call void a mirror, zalinski. and i don't like to dictate or, and said that ukraine started the war. and then there was the 1st piece talks happening in saudi arabia between the us and russia. ukraine wasn't even at the

table. so i think the alarm bells across the europe, across europe and across obviously ukraine started going off that donald trump, if he was going to assert himself as the sole deliberate or in these piece talks that ukraine would end up getting much less and russia getting much more and if the press conference, trump was asked, what you expect rush to give up and he simply wouldn't answer that question. so what we're seeing is a manual macro and come in and talk about security guarantees. was an almost every answer he gave. and he framed it in a very interesting way. he said, if the us helps with the ceasefire agreement and it's violated, well then the us might have to respond. no, trump didn't answer to that. but i think the most important thing that we've heard from these 2 leaders today is a willingness to put europe and peacekeepers in ukraine to sort of guarantee that it doesn't happen again. because what the trump administration has been saying is

lucky if american businesses are back in russia back in ukraine. russia will want to violate any terms of the agreement to which most analysts point out those things were true before 3 years ago. and it did not stop the invasion apache, what more did trump have to say then about a possible deal on red us minerals from ukraine, which he's been doubling down. and he's been really focused on this in fact that come up, i think every day for a good few last few days, i know i covered him at the convention and they said they better make a deal. so what is this all about? well, the us congress under us president joe biden gave ukraine assistance. it wasn't categorized as a loan. well, that seems to work this president. so now he is demanding that ukraine pay back. the grant is farms of a low. now, obviously it's not clear legally. he can do that, but he was making really strong demands on ukraine. he wanted something,

it was about $500000000000.00 from their natural resources, from their ports, and didn't want to offer security guarantees in exchange and important point out, donald trump keeps saying that there's the us gave you, created $350000000000.00 and it's nowhere near that amount, it's between a $120.00, a $170000000000.00, depending on which expert you've talked to. so he's making these demands, but zelinski now is send people to talk. they're going to try and come up with some sort of agreement that would appease donald trump. obviously they're not going to agree to the 500000000000, but they want to be able to move off of this costs a complaint from the president in order to start talking on actual ceasefire deals on good terms with the us president. to go ahead and thanks for that to the strengthening ties between russia in the us were on full display of the un general assembly. but us diplomats voted against the resolution condemning rushes,

was your opinion on us diplomats face stuff and the heat exchange, which ultimately sold the un general assembly back the resolution drafted by ukraine and used to name russia as an aggressive states and quoting on on it to remove its troops from ukraine, united states, russia, batteries, and north korea all voted against. and the security council adult to the us resolution supported by russia, which contained no criticism of most good good, but others on there has been following the latest developments not from the united nations. we don't teach at is a very unusual day here at the u. n. is there was really a war of diplomatic words going back and forth between russia and united states on one side and on the other side, ukraine and it's mostly european allies. early on monday, the general assembly overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning of russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. but later in

the day, a very watered down draft resolution that was proposed by the united states was able to pass the security council. despite the concerns by many countries on the council, primarily the u. k. and france who abstained and allowed this very watered down version of a us draft to go through the draft does not specifically condemn rush at all. does not call for russia to make any sort of concessions. but clearly what is happening now is that the us is really no longer in lock step with ukraine and it's western allies. now the us is very much neutral and or favoring russia when it comes to which war and ukraine gabriel's onto. i would use it at united nations in new york . but it also launched its full scale invasion of ukraine 3 years ago. described it as

a special miniature operation and felt the takeover of ukraine was happening days since then. hundreds of thousands have been killed on both sides and millions of people forced from the homes. charles traffic reports from keith. european leaders have types of billions of dollars an additional aid. many european leaders have made the journey by train from all sorts of keys in recent years. 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, great to sense of urgency 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. start the each time we seniors 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. europe is struggling to find the unified and concrete response to the us presidents approach to ending the will . it's clear that the statements coming from united states make us all worried. what is the state to say of the transaction transatlantic relationship? the you formally announced the 16th sense of sanction says the us pools bank support for ukraine, your nose, it has no choice but to boost its defense spending. nato contributions no matter the economic pressure is at home and 3 percent will not be enough. my guess is that we have a couple of months to take all necessary decisions. european commission president or phillip on the line said you cranes, allies must speed up the delivery of weapons. and she gave a note to veiled warning to the us president about these russian accounts about the

one ukraine remains the most central and consequential crisis for europe's future. the 14 is trying harder than ever to win the wall on the ground. his goal remains ukraine's kept insulation and we know what could happen next. one thing you don't seem to agree on is that it's voice, and the voice of the country that was invaded and continues to be attacked. has to have a central position in negotiations. i don't know what it would not be sidelined by washington or a bees built on the humiliation of the big thing. well, that's a reward or a shelf or it's aggression would not be a true beast. it would be a betrayal. there's a huge difference in tone from european leaders who attended this meeting in relation to the new emphasis in washington. on the president, donald trump will weapons more age for ukraine, more sanctions on russia say the european lead is an indication of what's being

described as the greatest split in transatlantic relation since the end of world war 2, charles profit algebra, keith process present that in that puts in says european countries can take parting talks on ukraine and praise trumps proposal as logical. he also condemned ukraine's president describing him as toxic see what this means below. the current heat of the key regime is becoming a toxic circuit for the armed forces of ukraine because he gives ridiculous orders dictated not by military considerations, but, but electrical considerations at the same time. it is not clear what that based on this leads to unjustifiably launch losses, if not very logical, catastrophic losses. the ukranian army and this i have out of our reports now from las go, where she says russia is unwilling to seat surgery. it is ok part in ukraine. there's still a long way to go. the full, the peace agreement is signed,

which we also had from foreign minister lathrop. and he said ellen on caroll that rupture was ready to be goose age with was ukraine and here. but russia will continue fighting, and so it's demands met from didn't keep saying that most school was make edits, harry tauriel concessions full regions of donates lou guns here soon. and zipper rose. you have been declared part of russia according to the russian constitution. not even though some parts of those regions are still controlled by ukraine. many say that legitimate piece in will to, to take ukraine underbrush has control change its lead to shipping kids, putting a pro russian one. and we can see that's off to 3 is a funny thing that never happened was to run, she slowly advancing on the bottle filled and it gave us most to more leverage. at the full scrubbing negotiations, very much and dissipated negotiations between peace and trump. russia is against you, praise membership and nature and against west and weapons supplies to the ukrainian

all me as well as the deployment of nate to peacekeepers into you prayed. as russia can see, there's that presence, a threat to national security, and the threat to newly acquired territories, including crime in russia now is the most functions country in the world. it now has the military oriented economy with a set of its budget and being spend on weapons, the economy is suffering. and so the most vulnerable, like pension is talk to teachers who have to cope with the growing prices every day . so russia is hopeful of the fulls coming russia, us release negotiations rather as the majority of people, no doubt on time. it's the for everyone is watching very closely and capturing everyone from the new trump administration. so having hopes of some kind of of a piece deal. the high stakes potential of peace talk suggested by donald trump have revealed a change in decades long us policy on russia. however,

early signs of hopes, multiplan we see between the 2 superpowers, with seen, june trumps 1st to ministration. as wasn't joining expense, a lot of very positive things going to come out of the relationship. so vladimir, thank you very much. us president donald trump has never missed a chance to show his affection for russia or his just getting for ukraine and it's liter reload him. here's the landscape whom he has long called corrupt and a crony of former president, jo bike is just recently trump put on social media to labels and the quote, a dictator with all the elections. so lensky better move fast, or he is not going to have a country left. still trouble promise to play peacemaker once the russian troops invaded ukraine 3 years ago. before i even arrive at the oval office, i will have the disastrous war between russia and ukraine. settled, but in the white house, his 1st round of diplomacy had only americans and russian,

no ukrainians, sitting at the table in saudi arabia. that angered salons already feeling pressure to hand over to trumpet $500000000000.00 worth of ukrainian, where earth minerals trump is argued. this is payment for the military a given to keep during the war. however, u. s. government figures say congress only approved $182000000000.00 and military and humanitarian aid. in the last 3 years. just $32000000000.00 of that was the value of excess us military equipment donated to ukrainian forces. at this point, zalinski is trying a new bar getting tactic. sacrificing himself for ukraine's future. you have shown what it located. the issue of those about the show me as it was if it's about pace in ukraine and you really want me to leave my position. i'm ready to do that. secondly, i can exchange it for nice a membership, and if there is such an opportunity to use and it was see. but that point may not

persuade russia, which has long objected to what it calls the creed of nato, toward its western border. and trump agrees that's been like written in stone, and somewhere along the line bite and said no, they should be able to join nato. well then russia has somebody right in their doorstep, but i could understand the feeling about that as the war between ukraine and russia starts. it's 4th year. that's clear, the us is taking sides something a neutral arbitrator is not supposed to do. rosalyn, jordan challenges, era washington game. so the head, hair analysis, era cache crisis and the democratic republic who conduct more territories, sees bar london fund him 23 rebels residents. so struggling to find currency to buy the basics. plus i'm john edward in chicago with a trembling ministrations withdrawal from the terrace climate agreement is causing the city billions of dollars the

a look at los angeles, will be touching up to $32.00 degrees celsius the on wednesday with lots of settled sunshine and things are looking largely settled across much of mexico. monterey seems 30 degrees celsius on choose day, some very pleasant here. not as present across the caribbean, and you can see that front, meaning a bust of storms is stretching all the way from the bahamas through cuba and on to nicaragua. that you weather update, the, the,

because we have at least the 6 living is so it is plus 4. but these options are on 50. but uh, because before going to the next step, we have to be sure that the, the bus system, which is losing 6 tons of 20, the bracelets are only going to be because nothing else is clearly sending strong messages. that he is a, he is intentionally subsidizing the deed he is banning the utmost fee of for attending back to the war. therefore, what they did on these the t might take the other 4 by these. and again, not to release the agreed upon number of other scenes, plus the $620.00. but i've seen a default on own own options on the table and up on the the what should happen on, on thursday. but even the other, the elements of the deep in your opinion,
