been the shattering of foreign policy. president zelensky has spoken, he talked about putin not wanting to vladimir putin not'wanting to for peace. exchange something for peace. he is at summits like exchange something for peace. he is for at summits like exchange something for peace. he is for at s and |its like exchange something for peace. he is for at s and the .ike these for ukraine and the around it to up countries around it to come up with a counter proposal for russia is seeking. he has a 7 77777 7 h“ 5- h kick thin-s off. it exchange to kick things off. it has been a rare area of cooperation he suggested all prisoners of war are asa as a first 7 7 77 as a first stage. exchanged as a first stage. these are uncertain -i 7 been speakino have been speaking to ukrainians here see kyiv�*s 120—year—old funicular — with two stops, it is the simplest of routes. ally, america.

support ukrainians. as washington decides whether to keep helping this are called up to fight. it wants security guarantees that russia won't invade again. dimko enlisted as a drone pilot last year. i ask him what impact the politics have had on him and his comrades. i still, i am still willing to defend my home.

all of the aid that they give to us is going to be here, a rail worker was killed after a russian drone hit. there are blast sites like this every day across ukraine. russia launches drones frequently and they are designed to pressure the population. but why now is different is that it is also america of zoya's flat. she lives here with her elderly mum. but would she take the quick peace donald trump wants? translation: our country is our country and it - must remain ours. there has to be an agreement.

we are hearing a lot about an american proposal to get access natural minerals. to ukraine's natural minerals. washington the rights to 7 b|ll|onworth o7f77 7 55657411};e7f7ur$a7i7§i53 $500 billion worth of ukrainian minerals in exchange for the help has given in military help it has given in the past and what it would z—m= m future. it is provide in the future. it is very a transactional very much a transactional approach. president zelensky is resisting, he said he will not sell the state, he says he will lay his 7 lay his country with a debt not lay his codntfl.’ with e—debt , ~ — .. , will be not lay his codntre with e—debt , ~ — .. , will be paid for that will be paid for generations. that is why we are seeing an increasingly hostile seeing an increasingly'hostile from the white house aimed tone from ther�*alhiterhodse aimed ukrainian leader. impression at ukrainian leader. impression here is he would not sign

they won't get into government, as other parties won't work but activists i've been speaking to say they are a bit disappointed about the result. they'd hoped to do a little better. nevertheless, this is the party that is in pole position well, i think the most important thing is but also, internationally, we have to figure out trump in the government. it is absolutely clear

that this us government doesn't care about europe. for now, though, it's time to build bridges at home. never an easy task. no easy task indeed. these could take some negotiations could take some time but to hear 777 ededddmea 77 7777 7 7 7 ededddmea 77 7h7e7 from friedrich merz that he wants to have government in place by easter. he says that wants to have government in p| absolutely er. he says that wants to have government in p| absolutely necessary; that wants to have government in p| absolutely necessary to 1at unity europe and to forge unity in europe and to establish that relationship with washington, again though strong words that we heard from on the us saying friedrich merz on the us saying that he is comparing what he said is interference in the german from the us german election from the us side to being as brazen as what germany had from moscow. a germany had s’e’enfrom moscow. a �* message germany haa' s’e’enfrom moscow. a �*message from him. earlier spake spoke to a green party
