worth billions of dollars to the us, an important with me, if he would like to, and he would like to sign- and i think the american people, even if you look| money around like it was cotton candy. i it could be _ a trillion—dollar deal. now, we don't know exactly what donald trump is giving, part of ukraine's ask, and we don't know how much of a share of those resources going forward fighting has finished. for the view from kyiv,

here's james waterhouse. to prevent russia from invading again after a ceasefire is signed, after russia keeps hold of the fifth of ukraine it has taken so far. we are told by sources here that the terms of this deal are much more favourable — so you will remember that donald trump said he wants access to $500 billion worth disputed in these parts — that has now been dropped, where donald trump has accused president zelensky labelling him as a dictator.

agreed to this deal, that it gives it a stake, and if it has interest to defend, that it might equate to military support to enable ukraine to exist firstly to that news? well, it's a big deal that they are reaching out of this deal — a friendlier united states of the comments we seen last week that it seems have been

designed to pressure zelensky to get him to this point. talking about those tactics to get to this point, president zelensky had said, "i can't sign this, i can't sell my state." on this and made a deal, what do you think this tells us and washington right now? i think this was a real test for zelensky. after he knew that donald trump was going to be the next president after the election in november, he really went on something of a charm offensive, spending months the obstacle to peace, that ukraine would be a willing of course, we saw trump had his 90—minute—or—so phone the united nations this week, refusing to condemn the invasion of ukraine. now we've seen in the last week

that this deal in particular was something that trump seems to have fixed on as a sign of, we'll talk about the other side of the deal, then, on further — do you think the trump administration that's a great question, we don't have the answer yet. that's something the ukrainian side has focused very intensely on.

security guarantees as soon as possible, preferably before formal negotiations for peace so far we haven't seen as much progress on that, talking about potentially new military support for ukraine — that will be essential, ukrainian forces sometime in the coming months, and there's a lot of pressure is able to continue, europe is not quite ready to set up and fill that gap yet. weeks ago, just generally the mood on the ground when you've been speaking to ukrainians — how do into its fourth year? ukrainians that "nobody else is coming to save us," they have reconstruct their country.

that they've made — the budapest memorandum, signed arms in exchange for security assurances from the us and russia. of the past again. if there is a truce to end the war, president macron has even expressed that could happen in the coming weeks, to make concessions. whether it comes to territory, to nato membership,

that we won't be back here in a few years. its foreign aid assistance. it's the biggest boost to defence spending since the cold war. the uss is a strong step by an enduring partner. it comes ahead of keir starmer�*s trip to washington to talk donald ahead of keir starmer�*s trip to washin the to talk donald ahead of keir starmer�*s trip to washin the money donald ahead of keir starmer�*s trip to washin the money comes |ld ahead of keir starmer�*s trip to washin the money comes from t'éj’ee. the "none" mmer frgyg�*g gigs ,,, , ,, ,, . a|d aid budget which

but... pretend otherwise. we will do everything we can to return to a world where that is not the case and rebuild a capability but at times like this, the defence and security not everyone here is convinced. some opposition parties don't like it and some labour mps don't either, but others were supportive. national interest should always come first. we strongly support - the prime minister raising defence spending to 2.5%, - preferably using seized russian assets to pay for extra defence support for ukraine. _ there are, though, plenty

of dissenting voices. i've got to say, i am hugely, hugely frustrated at this very short—sighted decision. it's the wrong decision. it's going to impact notjust on the poorest people in the world, but also on us here. this does not make us safer. will be deprived of crucial support that british aid provides, including through crucial vaccinations, this is then an argument the prime minister needs to win. good evening. ..a news conference. donald trump is now effectively setting uk government policy? yes, it's true president trump thinks we should do more, and i agree with him. it chimes with my thinking on this. and it is taken first

and foremost to ensure that is the first duty that i have as prime minister. last night's visitor at the white house was the french president. he's a smart customer, i will tell you that. - knee grabbing, hand holding — probably not keir starmer�*s style. and the minister and president macron have on the phone doubt comparing notes on how "agar." w w whandledonald w w handle donald tfump. but to handle donald trump. but it's also to that been a view thee= be? a «ass at argstallising hsrs at f 7, �*for some time westminster for some time across several parties that really did need to be a in defence hike in defence spending that, if you like, the holiday hike in defence spending that, if you i of, the holiday �*am . , — hike in defence spending that, if you i of the a holiday �**'~- . , . hike in defence spending that, if you i of the e holidé the z"- : , — history of the 1990s, the aftermath of the cold war was well and truly over, and there
