the leaders then held the summit, reaffirming their support for ukraine. the, the show of unity comes at a critical time for ukraine and it's europe and allies. the u. s. is threatening to pull, it's the court for keys and has less the landscape out of peace talks with russia for european leaders guaranteeing ukraine. security is high on the agenda. this includes you membership, european commission, president ursula fonder lie instead you crane may be able to join the block ahead of schedule. i would even say ukraine. narrow space process if they continue at that speed and at that quantity, perhaps they could be earlier than 2030. so thank you very much for giving the impulse. and let's work hard on all sides. really, to keep the momentum up. the $24.00 leaders from the g 7 group of industrialized nations including trump, then held virtual tox zalinski, announced that an economic deal with the white house in the works. and he made this

direct appeal to the us. thank you. very president. tom, we would really like to hear from you because a lot of people allow us, our families, how worry war. it will that be support from america? will america be the leader of the free world? and i want to be worry honest. where do you want us to be you for our people, for life in general is so important that americans support america assistance remains. and really, i believe we can be just as effective in securing real guarantees for peace. lensky and european leaders want to see that the negotiating table with the us and russia, the use for and policy chief kaya kal, us will go to washington next week to promote that message for the president. donald trump meanwhile, has said he believes russian president vladimir putin is ready to accept european peacekeepers and ukraine. trump and french president amend well mccaul held talks

at the white house on monday. because that friends aims to build a long last piece. and the europe is ready to be a stronger partner to the us and to step up on defense. trump said there was progress towards ending the fighting in ukraine cars if this gruesome and bloody war can scarcely be overestimated. hundreds of thousands of people, russians and ukrainians in particular have needlessly died. and i've spoken with both president potent and president zalinski. and again, a lot of a lot of good things toward peace are happening. moving in, i think pretty quickly and i know next steps you'll have the success of the us. so the desire to be, i don't know, they are so busy is a couple of out of each and didn't want this one because this piece must not be and besides render, oh, got one crane and must not certain that these one without guarantee condition. so

then feeds a legend, my pleasure to introduce yourself to keep on allowing you to frame to is this rose shape with a 200 stakeholder. what would that meeting coming on the same day that the united states split with european allies at united nations refusing to blame russia for its invasion of ukraine? us and france were at odds at the un security council, where the us failed tobacco resolution labeling russia as the aggressor in ukraine's war. a dramatic shift in transatlantic relations at the un security council. for years out of the us has voted in favor of resolutions that take place affirming ukraine's territorial integrity over there and calling on russia to seize all still it easily to under president donald trump. us is taking a different stand, sir, since it's but the time for russia and ukraine to make difficult choices and, and the fighting is now we call on all other un member states to join the united states in pushing for

a durable piece that will bring stability to europe and deter further aggression very general us is adopting a neutral stance that does not at right condemn russia, causing a split with a to your p and allies. into both in the general assembly joined russia, north korea, iran and others in voting against the resolution drafted by ukraine on the 3rd anniversary of moscow's invasions. and let me read 281. let me assure you that ukraine wants peace more than anyone, but not any peace. we must be mindful of the fact that this has exist special war. this has existential wolf, within tide. democratic wrote power, democratic principles, and values. and the russia has repeatedly tried to dismantle these rules, best order, and it was acute architecture. it is impossible to stop it. the aggressive by

appeasing it basement doesn't work. the west instead pushed for its own competing resolution named the path to peace full calls for swift and to the war. without naming rushes, the aggressor a, we want to cranes. european allies lead by france, rule proposed and amendment to the us tax one, that the underlying that the conflict was the result of russia's invasion. that's who went through this. it the rush, i chose to bring them back to europe and saw it. and then over the past 3 years, and i guess russia has been waging a brutal, legal, unjustifiable aggression against ukraine, with a blatant disregard for international humanitarian law. i'm in the video, they go pretty popular as you'll see the left us however abstain from voting on the amended version if it's resolution and, and eventually the un security council adopted washington's original resolution with 10 votes in favor. and 5 extension was a statement. let's have
