our diplomatic correspondent, james landale reports. president zelensky arriving in the uk this morning ahead of a meeting with the prime minister and european leaders, hoping perhaps for a warmer welcome than the intemperate shouting match he got at the white house. in extraordinary furious exchanges, donald trump and his number two angrily railed at ukraine's president,

accusing him of being disrespectful for resisting a ceasefire deal without security guarantees. with respect, it is disrespectful coming here to litigate in front of the media. don't tell us what to feel. you're in no position to dictate that. to dictate what we are going to feel. it was rude. it was brutal and unrelenting. but was it deliberate? you're not in a good position. they accused him of being ungrateful for us support. have you said thank you once? have you said thank you. you went to pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition. all words of appreciation for the united states and with that, ukraine's president was shown the white house door with no press conference, no minerals and public political execution.

no word yet from president putin, who may have and what can be done, if anything, to calm the row who replied to everyone saying simply, thank as the war continues, russian drones striking now face a tough question — how long could they resist on us military aid?

president trump. it is important that ukraine prevails here. that the outcome is enduring and will not be challenged by the russians again. challenged by the russians aaain. , ., . challenged by the russians aaain. ., again. ok, you have said where ou are again. ok, you have said where you are with — again. ok, you have said where you are with donald _ again. ok, you have said where you are with donald trump. - again. ok, you have said wherei you are with donald trump. are you are with donald trump. are you with donald trump and he says to zelensky, you are either going to make a deal or are we are out? are you with donald trump there?- are we are out? are you with donald trump there? listen, i want to focus _ donald trump there? listen, i want to focus now _ donald trump there? listen, i want to focus now on - donald trump there? listen, i want to focus now on the - donald trump there? listen, i i want to focus now on the bigger picture and the bigger picture is... �* , , , is... but this is the bigger picture- — is... but this is the bigger picture. what _ is... but this is the bigger picture. what i _ is... but this is the bigger picture. what i told - is... but this is the bigger picture. what i told to - is... but this is the bigger - picture. what i told to present the land he — picture. what i told to present the land he is _ picture. what i told to present the land he is that _ picture. what i told to present the land he is that i _ picture. what i told to present the land he is that i think - picture. what i told to present the land he is that i think you | the land he is that i think you have to find a way to restore your relationship with donald trump and the american administration. that is important going forward. the us, i know, is very much involved in this. it was donald trump who made the opening to the russians. who broke the deadlock when it claims to peace negotiations. so they have now started. like tomorrow in london, under keir starmer�*s

leadership, europeans coming together to really hammer out what europeans can do to support a future peace deal which is not right there so step—by—step but it is important that you start planning for this. and keir starmer�*s visit on thursday was very successful because clearly there was a common understanding that we have to work on all of that together. can you see a future where the us does stop its military support for ukraine? i us does stop its military support for ukraine? recent ft: lye-glee e’ convinced recent ft: "law? convinced that recent $5: "law? convinced that the absolutely convinced that the us wants to bring ukraine to this durable peace. it was what all the administrations senior people have told in the past, and my discussions with president trump. but obviously, what they need to get there is to make sure that we'll work together on this and it is important that president zelensky finds a way to restore his relationship with the american president and with the senior american leadership team. i discussed it yesterday with zelensky and also with keir starmer and now they will meet later today. tomorrow it

trump and that is important in the future. russians again in the future. again, as happened in 2014 after crimea and to be minsk accords, because there were no security guarantees in place. lasley, secretary general, the eu foreign policy chief saying the free world needs a new leader. does it? the free world needs a new leader. does it?— the free world needs a new leader. does it? no. you know, the situation _ leader. does it? no. you know, the situation is _ leader. does it? no. you know, the situation is very _ leader. does it? no. you know, the situation is very simple. - the situation is very simple. the us is over 50% of nato. in my discussions with the americans, they are extremely invested in nato including in article five and the us being the biggest country, therefore it is the leader within the nato alliance but with all the other leaders of all the other allies. the us is so big, it is so important and has so much

political, let's say, power, in terms of the defence capabilities, and the projections, collectively, we can make in the world stage, nato acting together, basically, twice the size of the us economy, is also in the interest of europe but also the us for so we will all stay together and work together and tear in europe will have to spend more on ramp up the production. spend more on ramp up the production-— spend more on ramp up the roduction. . ~' , ., , . production. thank you very much for coming _ production. thank you very much for coming on — production. thank you very much for coming on the _ production. thank you very much for coming on the programme. . for coming on the programme. thank you. president zelensky is meeting sir keir starmer ahead of tomorrow's summit in london which brings together european leaders, as well as the head of nato. injusta injust a few in just a few hours, effectively, zelensky will be arriving at downing street for one—on—one conversations with keir starmer. our political correspondent is at downing street for us. extraordinary diplomacy ongoing. find

crisis. those comments in your strategy here going into this? some kind of bargaining position opening up? it is position opening up? it is cuite position opening up? it is quite possible. _ position opening up? it is quite possible. it - position opening up? it 3 quite possible. it would be compatible with trump's usual strategy. you destroy in order to rebuild and to warn your opponent that he has to make more concessions. so that it is a possibility but i am not saying that was what happened foot up some of these things happen just because trump has an explosive personality and still lenski was under intense pressure. but i think there is one point wanted to make and it is a really important point. yes, zelensky has got a huge amount to lose if he doesn't

rebuild his relationship with does president trump. and so does president trump. and so does president trump. because president trump's whole basis of his current position is that he will create a dialogue with putin that will end this war. that is what he has pledged to do. we cannotjust reach an agreement with putin. that agreement, if it is to lead to agreement, if it is to lead to a ceasefire, has to have zelensky�*s and sent as well. if the lenski refuses to accept it and continues fighting they will lose their ceasefire and trample have totally failed so although he will never admit it, trump also needs, as does the lenski, to try to put last night behind him and get back to what they should have been doing, signing the agreement on the mineral wealth but also having a grown—up

the mineral wealth but also having a grown what he said i think some of what he said start but specifically that donald trump had played in that conflict. what do you think is going on there? well, i think some of what he said... i watch the interview and some see this war and and we probably would not have that chance at this moment in time if trump had not begun this major initiative but it has to be combined with an equal acknowledgement that presidency lenski and the whole ukrainian people also want that war to end and it has to end

with compliments compromises from both sides otherwise it is surrender and notjust a vendor which is embarrassing but it would make the future existence of ukraine very would make th
