natural resources deal and have a joint press conference as part of u.s. efforts to end the war with russia. >> we're learning that after this extraordinary exchange in the oval office, trump and zelenskyy went into separate rooms. a white house official telling cnn that trump huddled with his key advisers and decided to kick zelenskyy out. with trump then posting on social media that he can come back when he is ready for peace. here is part of the heated discussion. >> a question of alignment i have to. i'm aligned with the world. i want to get the thing set. i'm aligned with europe. i want to see if we can get this thing done. you want me to be tough? i could be tougher than any human being you've ever seen. i'd be so tough. but you're never going to get a deal that way. so that's the way it goes. one more question. >> on that. >> i want to respond to this. so look, for four years, the united states of america, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough

about vladimir putin. and then putin invaded ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. the path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe engaging in diplomacy. we tried the pathway of joe biden, of thumping our chest and pretending that the president of the united states words mattered more than the president of the united states is actions. what makes america a good country? is america engaging in diplomacy. that's what president trump is doing. >> can i ask you? >> sure. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> okay, so he occupied it. uh, our parts, big parts of ukraine, part of east and crimea. so he occupied it on 2014. so. during a lot of years, i'm not speaking about just biden, but those times was obama, then president obama, then president trump, then president biden, now the president trump. and god bless. now president trump will

stop him. but during 2014, nobody stopped him. he just occupied and took. he killed people. you know what? the contact. >> 2015. >> 2014. >> 2014. >> 2014. yeah. >> so he was not here? >> yeah, but. >> exactly right. >> yes. but during 2014 until 2022. you know what the situation the same that people have been dying on the contact line. nobody stopped him. you know that we had conversations with him. a lot of conversations. bilateral conversation. and we signed with him. me like a new president. in 2019, i signed with him the deal i signed with him. macron and merkel. we signed ceasefire, ceasefire. all of them told me that he will never go. we signed him gas contract. gas contract. yes. but after that he broken the ceasefire. he killed our people and he didn't exchange

prisoners. we signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. what kind of diplomacy? jd, you are speaking about? what what what what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes. >> mr. president. mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. you should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict. >> to ukraine, that you say what problems we have. >> i have been to. come once. i have actually, i've actually watched and seen the stories and i know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour, mr. president, or do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military? and do you think that it's respectful to come to the oval office of the united states of america and attack the administration that is trying to trying to prevent the destruction of your country? >> a lot of a lot of questions.

let's start from the beginning. sure. first of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. god bless you. god bless you. god bless you. >> will not you? don't tell us what we're going to feel. we're trying to solve a problem. don't tell us what we're going to feel. >> i'm not telling you. >> because you're in no position to dictate that. >> that's exactly what. >> you're doing. you're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. we're going to feel very. >> good. >> and we're going to feel very good and very strong influence. you're right now not in a very good position. you've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, and he happens to be right. >> about the very beginning of the war. >> you're not in a good position. you don't have the cards right now with us. you start having cards. cards? right now you don't play. >> cards. >> you're playing cards. you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. you're gambling with world war iii. you're gambling with world war

iii. and what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that's backing. >> you. >> far more than a lot of people said they should have. >> have you said thank you once this entire meeting? no. in this entire meeting, you said thank you. you went to pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in october, offer some words of appreciation for the united states of america and the president, who is trying to save your country. >> please. you think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you. >> are not speaking loudly. he's not speaking loudly. your country is in big trouble. can i wait a minute? no, no, you've done a lot of talking. your country is in big trouble. >> i know. >> you're not winning. no, you're not winning this. you have a good chance of coming out, okay? because of. >> u.s. president. >> cnn's jeff zeleny is live for us now at the white house. jeff, tell us how this transpired. what ultimately led to trump kicking zelenskyy out

of the white house and how it all went down? >> well, look, after that extraordinary exchange in the oval office, all sides went to their corners, if you will. lunch was expected to be served. it was literally sitting out on trays and counters in the west wing of the white house. a signing table was in the east room of the white house, waiting for trump and zelenskyy to sign an agreement this afternoon. that, of course, did not happen, but we are learning that both the ukrainian delegation and the american delegation separated, and trump and zelenskyy did not speak again, which is not surprising, perhaps, given how that tense exchange ended in the oval office. but for about 25 minutes or so, zelenskyy stayed in the west wing and a series of offices that are provided for visitors like him. and then he left. he left the white house in his black suv. we saw it here live on your show, driving behind us here, and then went

out where he'll be spending a couple more hours in washington. but we do know that zelenskyy has canceled an afternoon speech. he was scheduled to give us, and he's now set to fly to london, and we do not know what will come from this, but we can say the white house is moving very quickly to capitalize on this as a sign of strength, dispatching allies like senator lindsey graham out to praise the performance of the vice president and the president. the white house also releasing a statement saying that the vice president vance and president trump are standing up for america's interests. but the bottom line to all of this here, as we near the afternoon hours here in washington on friday, is what comes of this deal. is there any track to get it back restarted? we do not know. it does not appear that way in the moment, but we shall see what the coming hours and days bring. we do know the president is scheduled to leave the white house in a couple of hours. to fly to mar-a-lago, his florida

resort. as of now, we're told that is still on schedule. >> jeff zeleny at the white house for us. thank you so much for recapping that. for us. european leaders are reacting, their support coming so quickly. we haven't had time to put together individual responses, but we'll read a few of them to you. the prime minister of spain writes, quote, ukraine, spain stands with you, the president of lithuania writing, quote, ukraine, you'll never walk alone. the president of moldova, quote, the truth is simple russia invaded ukraine. russia is the aggressor. ukraine defends its freedom and ours. we stand with ukraine. from germany, quote germany, together with our european allies, stands united alongside ukraine and against the russian aggression. their defense of democracy and their quest for peace and security is ours. also, sweden quote sweden stands with ukraine. you are not only fighting for your freedom, but also for all of europe's. >> joining us now is cnn chief

international security correspondent nick paton walsh, who is in kyiv. some strong words from european leaders there, nick. i wonder what you think about what you're hearing there and what people in ukraine are feeling tonight. >> uh, your last question. first, i think consternation, shock, real existential dread. i mean, i don't want to overstate this, but we've just seen a potential permanent fixture between ukraine and its main military and financial backer. that rare earth deal was potentially looking like it might salvage things, but it was always the personal relationship between trump and zelenskyy that needed the most attention. and now we are dealing with a nation which is dealing also, too, with the comments of lindsey graham suggesting that we need to see some sort of change in behavior from president zelenskyy, or he should step aside. again, raising the possibility of a change in leadership here, something which the russian narrative has floated for some time, calling zelenskyy illegitimate. and so that starts a separate conversation here,

too, although i should also point out, on certain military telegram channels and elsewhere, there have been very vociferous suggestions of support for zelenskyy to you have to understand the difference in experience here. zelenskyy has been at war for three years and consistently been in meetings, frankly, where he's been held up as the hero, so many ukrainians that he has indeed been guiding them through this particular war. and while i think many had expected he would enter this meeting with the same ingratiating spirit that we saw from france, french and british leaders during this week, to sort of clear the road for zelenskyy to arrive. he was clearly very riled by the statements of jd vance, and the meeting then spiraled out of control. frankly, i heard from one u.s. official that perhaps the tone began to feel a bit off when he turned up in a shirt, not a suit. the trademark black shirt he wears to everything. uh, a previous green t-shirt had been his trademark as well, giving the clear symbol that he's a wartime leader. but the u.s. official i spoke to suggested maybe a suit would have been appropriate. we know his chief of staff was wearing one, but it's that sort of minuscule detail that i think is

distracting from the broader problems really here, that this was a time when zelenskyy should have healed that relationship, and instead we're now seeing what another official i spoke to said is a completely new landscape that we're dealing with. what does this mean? well, european foreign minister of estonia suggested perhaps europe could go it alone and use frozen russian assets that are under their control to fund ukraine's defense. we'll have to be honest, i think probably need to be able to buy american weapons for that to happen. the idea has been held out that possibly there might be something that can be salvaged from this. that's entirely possible. um, but we are seeing an extraordinary moment here in the war. and, you know, we like to talk about this as leaders amongst themselves in offices. there is a front line here where the russians are advancing. there will likely be morale and recruitment issues because of the likelihood of u.s. aid at least being disrupted. when that happened the end of 2023, it was exceptionally damaging. and so i think we are going to see ukraine waking up tomorrow

horrified at the unknown landscape ahead of it. >> nick paton walsh live for us in kyiv. we have cnn chief national security correspondent alex marquardt with us. and, alex, this statement from lindsey graham essentially saying that zelenskyy has to fundamentally change or leave. what would happen if zelenskyy were to step aside or step down? >> i mean, this is remarkable. graham was in this bipartisan meeting with zelenskyy and other senators earlier today. graham is one of the staunchest supporters of ukraine. and here he is raising the possibility that zelenskyy may have to step down. now, this is something that zelenskyy has himself talked about just a few days ago in a press conference. he said that he was ready to step down if it brought peace to his country. if ukraine was allowed to join nato, which, of course, the united states has said should not happen. this does seem to be an idea that is increasingly percolating. this idea of zelenskyy stepping down in order to salvage the u.s.,

backing the u.s. ukraine relationship and essentially get things back on track. i was just speaking with a u.s. official who also raised this possibility, who talked about the relationship between president trump and vladimir zelenskyy seeming irreparable. this official told me it's disastrous, the official said. it's not clear how the bilateral relationship proceeds while zelenskyy is still in charge, unless he can find a way to make this right with president trump. that does seem like that is not like getting that relationship back on track today is not something that that appears to be necessarily in the cards. what could come next? there is no automatic or clear heir apparent. so i think for now, the europeans are going to try to smooth things over. we have this summit that is being organized by the brits that is taking place on sunday. we know that the nato secretary general is also going. you just read, boris, all those statements of of loyalty and sympathy from those european leaders. so certainly the europeans are

going to perhaps not try to go it alone, but at least try to get this back on track, but in track. but any discussion about what the u.s. would contribute to a european peacekeeping mission or a backstop, as the europeans have called it, that appears to have completely evaporated. i mean, we were the best case scenario out of today's signing of this deal was essentially to get the u.s. and ukrainian relationship back to a point where military aid would would continue, where there could be these discussions about what an american security guarantee would look like. that has completely disappeared in the wake of this, this, this stunning oval office meeting. >> you know, i wonder as you're looking at this, alex, a lot of this seems to be the undertones of this relationship is driven so much by personal animus, and we can't ignore the fact that trump's first impeachment happened because of his phone call. the perfect phone call, as he said, with volodymyr

zelenskyy. and ultimately, that led to trump being impeached. a huge, uh, he even referenced it, right? going through the the russia hoax. he referenced it there in the oval office with zelenskyy. not specifically zelenskyy's role in the call, but it's always something that is on trump's mind. this is not his favorite person. >> and he said trump said that putin went through. the russia hoax with him, making it sound like they were partners in this. trump has always felt that zelenskyy is too demanding that it is overstepping. and too antagonistic. and certainly j.d. vance, who sparked all of this today, has has never really thought highly of president zelenskyy and has often advocated for ending or at least cutting back significantly, u.s. aid to to ukraine. he said that last year, when he was a sitting senator from ohio, he said also to to steve bannon, i don't really care what happens to

ukraine. so the deal was supposed to be signed today. this minerals deal would have gotten the u.s. deeper into a relationship with ukraine, perhaps something that jd vance did not want to see happen. and what strikes me is also the competing, uh, circles, if you will, around trump mike waltz national security advisor marco rubio the secretary of state. they are strong supporters of ukraine. they see vladimir putin as the aggressor. but it's not clear that other members of that inner circle see it the same way. and of course, there are all these worries about, as we go into these negotiations, that president trump has already given these concessions to, to vladimir putin and to the kremlin. and we're certainly, uh, seeing or we can imagine that there is quite a bit of smiling and schadenfreude going on in moscow today. >> yeah. let's bring in, uh, angela stent, the senior fellow at the brookings institution. and, i mean, we should mention, yes, jd vance does not

particularly appreciate ukraine. his passport proves it. he has not been to ukraine as to say, as an example, someone like lindsey graham, who we've been talking about has been to ukraine. he said 8 or 9 times, but can you just talk about just sort of the big picture of today and, and how much this matters? is this the u.s. not just taking perhaps a step away from ukraine, but a step away from europe and the world order that has benefited the u.s. for many decades? >> of course. but we saw publicly, the u.s. taking it step away from europe at the munich security conference. uh, when you listen to what, uh, vice president vance said, the europeans understand that the u.s. is leaving europe, that president trump has a very different vision of what u.s.

interests are. um, so in a way, we shouldn't have been surprised by what happened today. but i think what was shocking was that this was done in public and sort of berating president zelenskyy like this. normally, these kind of discussions between leaders, you may argue and yell at each other, but it's done behind closed doors. so i think the symbolism there was very important, and i think the europeans got the message, which is we're on our own now. if you want to support ukraine. >> i do want to zoom in, angela, on the way that trump and zelenskyy have aligned themselves with putin's view of this conflict. part of what sparked this shouting match was trump saying to zelenskyy that he has tremendous, tremendous hatred for putin and that it's hard to make a deal that way. and that led to the response from jd vance seeming to promote the idea of diplomacy with someone who zelenskyy referred to as a dictator. can you speak

to that differing view of russia's leader as being the crux of this disagreement? >> well, sure. i mean, from president zelenskyy's point of view, you know, russia, uh, conducted an unprovoked, uh, invasion in full scale invasion into ukraine. hundreds of thousands of people have been killed. wounded. uh, what the russians have done to the ukrainian population, to their infrastructure, you know, abducting children, uh, raping, torturing all of that. so it maybe would be very difficult for, uh, a leader of any country not to have a very dim view or to hate the leader of a country that did him that to them. now, you could argue that maybe what president zelenskyy should have done was to take a leaf from what prime minister starmer and president macron did this week, which was to be very polite in the oval office to flatter president trump. uh, and, and to therefore get a positive response for him. uh, maybe

president zelenskyy should have tempered his words. um, but the idea that somehow he could have a more pragmatic view of dealing with putin, it's very difficult. if you go to ukraine and you see what it's like for people who live there with the nightly air raid bombings and things like that. uh, i think it's on a human level, very understandable. but obviously president trump has a different view of this. uh, and he wants to be a dealmaker. >> yeah. angela, thank you so much for your insights. we appreciate it, alex. thank you to you as well. some lawmakers on capitol hill have spent the last few years fighting to keep aid flowing to ukraine, but now there may be a sea change in america's relationship with ukraine. next, we're talking to a member of the house ukraine caucus. we're going to get his reaction to today's extraordinary moments in the oval office. >> cnn news central, brought to you by viking. exploring the world in comfort.

>> before the election. i talked to the diaspora of eastern europe of what the election might mean with with what trump has been saying openly during the campaign. and honestly, i think it fell on deaf ears that no one imagined that the president, united states, uh, would betray all the things that we fought for, all the reasons we fought the second world war, that we formed the new world order, liberal democratic world war, after the after that great conflict, you know, we're on the side of the bad guys now. and i just have to say, questioning the legitimacy of the president of ukraine, who was elected, who has been more like churchill. and i would say trump has been more like like putin. uh, is extraordinary. and in his opening address to congress, zelenskyy thanked us, the america and the american people in my dozens of meetings with the rada, with their military and with zelenskyy in ukraine.

they always open with their gratitude to the people of the united states. >> he tweeted afterwards, many different thank yous to the people. the congress, president trump, um, i want to ask you about something that lindsey graham said. he is someone who is obviously, uh, you know, a friend of president trump's, but he's also been very pro ukraine. he's visited, he said, 8 to 9 times. he's gone to ukraine several times. and he said the question for me, for the ukrainian people, i don't know if zelenskyy can ever get you to where you want to go with the united states, either he dramatically changes or you need to get somebody new. what do you think of that? >> yeah, the ukrainians get to decide who their president is, and the only thing i can imagine that gets somebody who would get along with president trump would be someone who would be totally submissive to what president trump wants. you know, we have to ask ourselves, uh, what kind

of victory do we want? and if peace comes at at the result of a russian victory where they keep the land where there's no repatriation of the 20,000 or more children who were stolen. the the cost of the war crimes that have taken place. we're talking about, in a sense, with the mineral deal, reparations and the reverse. the invaders are being rewarded. and while those who are invaders are being told to pay the price, it makes no sense. i would say to lindsey graham, churchill wasn't getting a call from fdr on the 5th of june saying, we're going to send you a bill for all this. the right thing to do is also the smart thing to do. i just told all of my republican colleagues recognize that they need to put democracy in the world and our own safety as a result of it, ahead of party. and clearly, the president of united states. >> what did you think when trump

said, essentially and he said this repeatedly, he said this in his truth social post, that you hold more cards. he said this essentially, you hold cards because we're involved. and he's raising the specter of, you know, without the u.s., ukraine might then be forced to go for peace. sort of raising this idea that the u.s. may actually be enabling. continued war and deaths by its involvement in support. what what do you what do you think he might be prepared to do? >> well, look, if he does nothing at all, if the president does nothing at all, putin wins. they have a 4 to 1 manpower advantage. of zelenskyy's address to congress. he said, help me win quickly because they understand they need a peace, but not a peace, which is really a russian victory. so i mean, what i get it. the united states

needs to be there. i don't know if ukraine can last six months to a year without u.s. help. i don't think that europe can make up that difference. but he's got to understand. and the american people have to understand, putin's aims are well beyond ukraine. uh, you know, the words of general milley and secretary austin, if we don't meet putin's aggression now, we're going to have to double our own military budget, and we're inviting more bloodshed. every european military leader i met with during the trips, trips there during this war said the same thing. we are at risk. and ultimately, the united states has to the final. he should be thanking zelenskyy because zelenskyy has been fighting the fight for democracy. and again, all the reasons we fought the second world war. and instead he wants gratitude after he's had this vote in the united nations. he's extorted them now for the second time. i think president

zelenskyy has been very grateful. i'm not sure why he needs to be grateful to a president who has been nothing but betray our trust to democracy in eastern europe. >> congressman mike quigley, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> ahead, we are going to moscow with reaction from russia. stay with cnn. we'll be right back. >> long john. >> silver $6. shrimp baskets. >> will have. >> you. >> hooked. choose hand-battered. perfectly perfect grilling and sizzling. or for a limited time, crispy coconut. skip the wait when you make our app your first mate, long john silver's fishing. >> type two diabetes. >> discover the ozempic tri. >> zone. >> oh oh oh ozempic. >> i. >> got the power of three. >> i lowered my a-1c. >> cv risk and lost some weight. in studies, the. >> majority of people. >> reached an a1c under seven and maintained it. >> i'm under seven ozempic lowers the risk of major. >> cardiovascular events such as

the headline from one outlet reads, quote, zelenskyy's hysteria in the white house shocks the rada, referring to the ukrainian parliament. here is one of those tense moments between trump and zelenskyy. >> the problem is, i've empowered you to be a tough guy, and i don't think you'd be a tough guy without the united states. and your people are very brave, but you're either going to make a deal or we're out. and if we're out, you'll fight it out. i don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out. but you don't have the cards. but once we sign that deal, you're in a much better position. but you're not acting at all thankful. and that's not a nice thing. i'll be honest. that's not a nice thing. >> joining us now is a member of ukraine's parliament, kira rudik. she is the leader of the golos party. kira, what is your reaction to this meeting? what does this mean for ukraine? >> hello, boris. >> and brianna.

>> and thank you so much for having me. well, indeed, today is very unfortunate day and the positions of president zelenskyy and president trump cannot, cannot be moved closer to each other because president zelenskyy is representing the country that is at war. and it seems that president trump still does not believe that the war is real and is killing people every single day. and president zelenskyy is representing people who are fighting every single day. and he wants to end the war more than anyone else, as all of all of us, because it's us being killed every day and every night. what we didn't hear in all those back and forths again are what the actual security guarantees that ukraine is getting. if we are signing the deal. we did not hear that. we only heard that president trump trusts putin. and putin will be

afraid. there is one thing that we need to take as a fact. we did not see any single actual thing that would support this belief that putin wants peace. the attacks on kyiv and other cities of ukraine did not stop one day, and the battles at the frontline continue. russia has started the war. they can end the war if they pull their troops and simply stop. stop killing us every single day and return children that they kidnaped and return our prisoners of war. it doesn't happen. and we did not hear, nor from president trump, nor from his team, of how these security guarantees would be working. and this is the most important. i regret that situation got very emotional, but we did not capitulate in 2022 when we were absolutely alone and nobody was behind us. and we will not

capitulate right now when we have been fighting for so long and we have so many european allies and so many people of america supporting us and standing behind us. >> kira, what is your reaction to hearing republican senator lindsey graham and even others within the administration saying that zelenskyy would have to fundamentally change his point of view or potentially step down? >> with all due respect, in ukraine, we elect our own presidents and we are known to start revolutions. if we think that they are not acting at our best interest. so it's not up to russian president or american president or american officials to tell the ukrainian people who should be our president. >> so tell us, uh, tell us, because this is news that came, i think, sort of after dinner for a lot of ukrainians. but we

understand that they're very much aware of it. it's not this isn't happening in the middle of the night. and this is something that you all have been talking about amongst yourselves. tell us what that has been like as people have been lighting up the phones, texting each other. what's it been like? >> uh, i will tell you what it's been like for the last two weeks, when i was constantly as a politician, as member of parliament, as a representative of our people, was receiving calls from the frontline when people were asking people who are fighting at the frontline, were asking, why would president of the united states said that we that we started the war, that president zelenskyy is dictator and many other things. and i was telling them it was a negotiation technique. right now, people are messaging each other saying that we will not be humiliated and that we deserve to know what we are signing for when there is a deal on the table that will require us on

giving up what belongs to our children and children for our children that we will be ready to do. but we didn't see anything workable. you see what we are discussing right now is that, uh, president trump seems to be under the illusion that putin wants peace, but we have not seen that. and we can tell again, our president that some certain things could have been done differently. we will tell him it on our side, but on a personal level, i just really hope that that when he was in the oval office and standing up to president trump, that he knew and felt that his country is behind him and his people are behind him. >> kira rudik, thank you so much for sharing your perspective. we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. and glory to ukraine. >> stay with cnn. we'll be right back.

ordinary russians, um, about what they thought when they when they saw this. and, you know, they're all universally saying they were gobsmacked. they've never seen national leaders of this sort of caliber speak to each other in this way. and there was something sort of unseemly about it and and shocking, in the words of, of one of the people that i spoke to. so that's the the reaction sort of privately but publicly, of course. russian officials have been much more supportive of the white house, you know, playing along with this idea that president zelenskyy of ukraine was very disrespectful. we've got a couple of, you know, kind of tweets and quotes from russian media that we can give you now, the russian, um, senior senator andrei gricius said that, uh, zelenskyy getting kicked out of the white house was a brilliant result. the kyiv clown, he called zelenskyy played his role of president poorly in the white house and was thrown out for bad behavior and disrespect towards the

united states. there's been a statement as well from maria zakharova, who's the spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry. and basically she talked hru and vance restrained themselves and didn't hit the you know, how they didn't hit hit this scoundrel is a miracle of self-control. she she posted on, on social media. and then there's the deputy speaker of the upper house of the russian parliament. his name is konstantin kochetkov. and he said this today in the oval office. zelenskyy continued to lie about ukraine's strength, about gratitude to america and about readiness for peace. and so all of these, very much reflecting the complaints, the grievances that the white house has said, that it was so upset about as well. there's been one other sort of comment from a russian official, kirill dmitriev. he's the one of the negotiators in the us-russian talks and a key kremlin envoy. he just called this spectacle

historic. and that's certainly true because, you know, rightly or wrongly, um, for better or worse rather, history will certainly judge the events that unfolded in the oval office today. >> matthew chance live for us in moscow. thank you so much. as we track breaking news in the united states, we're also following breaking news out of the vatican. a setback for pope francis, the pontiff being put on a breathing machine. we have an update on his condition in a live report. in just moments. >> why is nir oz trusted by millions. >> before nervive? i was not living my best life because i could not breathe. the huge difference is the fact that nervive pulls it out. it's very gentle in the sense of when that suction happens, it's literally grabbing that water and that mucus, and it's bringing it out into this tank. it's worth every penny that you pay for it. this product changed my life. >> and for a stuffy. little noses. pick up the new baby aspirator now at walmart in the.

in rome with the update. obviously, this is a major setback. christopher. >> that's right. boris and brianna. it's a setback given that in recent days we were told of improvement in the pope's condition. but today, the vatican explained the pope had a bronchospasm, which is a tightening of the bronchi. he then had a vomiting episode, which led to an inhalation, which caused further breathing difficulties. he's on a breathing machine, not an invasive one, but it's still an intensification of the oxygen that he's needing to receive. concerning development for francis, given that he has pneumonia in both lungs. he's 88 years old. he has a history of respiratory difficulties. and so this update tonight causing concern and worry in the vatican. behind me you can see people who have just left a prayer service for the pope in saint peter's square. people

gathering each night to pray for the pontiff. seems that the numbers were up tonight. following this news. and clearly a lot of concern for francis. we're going to be getting a further update from the vatican on saturday. >> all right, christopher, we will be looking for more information tomorrow. as folks there holding vigil saying prayers there, obviously hoping for a recovery of the pontiff. christopher lam, thank you so much. and it has been a day of breaking news here in washington as well, an extraordinary day that we have been watching, right. as ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy came after these other visits by the uk president, the prime minister of france, the president of france, i should say. and they were here to kind of grease the rails for this visit at the end of the week to sign a minerals deal, to have a press conference. and instead that part got canceled. he gets kicked out of the white

house. >> yeah. and it all hinged on these differing views of vladimir putin, zelenskyy at the early onset of the meeting, described putin as a terrorist. donald trump responded by saying that having that view of putin would make it very difficult to make any kind of peace deal. and it just unfolded from there with vice president jd vance calling zelenskyy's remarks. disrespectful. when zelenskyy was talking about diplomacy, not working with someone like vladimir putin. and now, as a result of this meeting, the future of ukraine itself, the future of europe and the future of the world order established in large part by the united states after world war ii, is in question. a historic afternoon, no doubt. thank you so much for joining us. the lead with jake tapper begins after a short break. >> the lead with jake tapper next on cnn. >> the ships moving. i can't breathe. watch his head left. >> not enough.
