of the united kingdom. and therefore i took to the phones. that was my response. and what did you say to president trump? because you say "nobody wants to see that". the leader of the free world. nobody wants to see that. clearly there is a lot of tension. then to president trump. if you like, and get us back to the central focus. and, as a result of the meeting yesterday, we had quite a long

with ukraine on a plan to stop the fighting and then we will discuss that plan with the united states. the meeting yesterday nobody wants more bloodshed. president trump said it is difficult to do business like this. he made it completely clear that he didn't have in that moment very much sympathy for ukraine. he was berating president zelensky, telling him

yes, i felt uncomfortable. there are a number of different routes you could go down. pick up the phone, talk to president trump for an extensive meeting yesterday with a warm welcome. three years of bloody conflict now and we need to get to that lasting peace.

of times, i have met him twice. we had a long session on thursday. i am clear in my mind that he does want to that he does want lasting peace, an end to the fighting in ukraine. i am absolutely clear that's what his motive is. agrees apart from putin. in the end that remains the central and most important for stopping the fighting and then, as it were, it's a step forward from where we were on and an this week — i think that's

why people, many people sympathetic to your aim to protect ukraine in the long term. then the next day we saw a completely different version who appeared to just want it over, not of ukraine and russia, didn't want to give ukraine an advantage. the one with you on thursday or the one we saw on friday? i am clear in my mind that he wants lasting peace. extensive discussions. and i have spoken to him a number of times least of all the ukrainians.

peace and i agree with him. we have had trump talk many times about "the deal". what you believe to be in president trump's it to mean? we discussed it at length on thursday. what president zelensky is worried about, he is pretty open about that. and president zelensky is rightly concerned that in what way do we all defend

the deal if one is made? you say there will be a line agreed. where would the line between russia and ukraine be agreed, can you tell us today? no, that's obviously a subject for discussion and it has to be that's why i have said throughout there can be no discussion about ukraine without ukraine. a deal, the stopping and then putin comes again. that has happened in the past. not a temporary pause. has donald trump told you, given you his word, that america will guarantee

the security of such a deal? we had on thursday. being clear that he would always have our backs, that has been the situation for many, many years, and a very clear commitment to article five of nato. guarantees beyond very much, we are going to have europe do that." or long—range radar — would he guarantee any so there is no guarantee yet?

significant thing in my view was that our teams, the us team and the uk team, are going to be meeting about that issue. that is progress and i am interested in material progress. what i'm discussing with president macron and others. it's what i will discuss today. and to be in a position of strength to negotiate. and the us backstop.

undoubtedly, everyone around the world can see do you think president zelensky has done anything wrong? no, this is a man whose country has been at warfor three years. i thought i would never see russian troops go over a border in europe again. so when that happened, it is clear it is russian aggression. to stop the aggression. he can speak for himself in relation to this.

i know what he wants — lasting peace — i genuinely for european security and defence and our own this is about the united kingdom and our security and national interest. crisis, the energy crisis. that conflict is not just about ukraine, it with their energy bills. part of whether that is possible is whether the leaders who come to the table can trust each other. you say zelensky has done nothing wrong. one of the concerns he expressed in the oval office is that it is hard to trust putin at his word. would you trust putin?

the security guarantee. i don't trust him not to come again, he has already done it. of months or years. the guarantee because believe the opportunity to do so and we need to shut one set of remarks and then on friday gave the whole

he said last week that president zelensky is a dictator and a couple of days later he said, "oh, did i say that?" when he will say one thing on one day and another taking a step back, the relationship between the us countries in the world. else in the world. the words "special relationship", it is not just a nice phrase.

if you look at our defence, security and intelligence other two countries. sir keir starmer speaking on with sunday with laura kuenssberg. also speaking to her was kemi badenoch, the for the uk and france to work with kyiv to stop the war support that we have for ukraine. people know what we did under prime ministerjohnson and his is successful in helping ukraine,

but also in maintaining on friday night, with president trump berating president zelensky? he was being humiliated. we have to remember president zelensky is a hero, of the ukrainian people. whatever differences when everyone is watching because the only person no, no. i don't think it was an ambush. i think both parties are working for their respective national

during all the trade negotiations i had as trade back on track. it is critical that ukraine is at the table not a surrender. they are a sovereign country and the principles we are we need to be very careful.

that is something that's absolutely vital. guarantee within nato, if we lose them, we will be we need to make sure that america doesn't disengage. if we all get dragged into an escalation, america will get dragged in eventually and it's bad for all of us. badenoch. let me bring you a we have had from badenoch. let me bring you a tusk, we have had from badenoch. let me bring you a tusk, the ave had from badenoch. let me bring you a tusk, the polish 1 from badenoch. let me bring you a tusk, the polish prime donald tusk, the polish prime ministerjust before he set off to travel to london for this ukraine summit. he says he is urging european to urging eurdpeenteeders tr) nato�*s flank. will ' will be ' will be a ' will be a real 7 will be a real test 7 will be a real test of 7 will be a real test of the "it will be a real test of the and the intentions and the capabilities of each european state have european trips present in more european trips present in finland, the baltic states and poland the �*with and belarus." also he supports the proposal
