all other industries around the 5 years, often we remember window, well, it still stops march 8th on dw, your watching due to the and it was coming to you live from berlin, the rowing rift between the us and europe, over ukraine. take center stage at the united nations. us breaks ranks with european allies voting against a resolution condemning russia's invasion of your french president and monument. my crown picks up a heated discussion during a visit to the white house. also ahead on the show rebel forces in democratic republic of congo capture major cities. here's our growing of a wider conflict as the us and un call for a cease fire. and the vatican issues news that the pope is in critical condition.

freezing issues pneumonia and a kidney condition of a set upon test. present hospital. the . i'm clear, richardson, thank you so much for joining us. the united states has flipped with this york in allies at the united nations by refusing to blame russia for its invasion of ukraine. and us in france were at odds of the un security council where the west failed to back a resolution labeling russia as the aggressor in ukraine's war. and despite this president, trump has again stated that the conflict could end within weeks, and that presidential landscape might be back in washington this week or next as a dramatic shift in transatlantic relations at the un security council. for years

out of the us has voted in favor of resolutions to take place affirming ukraine's territorial integrity over there and calling on russia to seize hostilities 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 general us is adopting a neutral stance that does not right condemn russia, causing a split with its european allies. but both in the general assembly joined russia, north korea, iran and others, and voting against the resolution drafted by ukraine on the 3rd anniversary of moscow was invasions. and let me read 281. let me assure you that ukraine once peace more than anyone but not any peace. we must be mindful of the

fact that this is existential war. this has existential wolf, within tide, democratic road, power, democratic principles, and values. and the russia has repeatedly tried to dismantle these rules, best order. and it was so cute architecture that it is impossible to stop with the rest. and by appeasing appeasement doesn't work. the less, instead pushed for its own competing resolution named the path to peace full calls for swift and to the war. without naming russia as the aggressor, a cranes european allies led by france or proposed amendment to the us tax. to underline that the conflict was the result of russia's invasion, military operate. as you went through, this is the rush. i chose to bring them back to europe and saw him then over the past 3 years. and i guess russia has been waging a brutal, legal,

unjustifiable aggression against ukraine, with a late since 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 of its resolution. and eventually, the un security council adopted washington's original resolution with 10 votes in favor. and 5 extension was a statement. well, the us move away from it's, and you allies at the u. n. has caused concern in europe. and his talks with president trump at the white house on monday, french president emanuel la cron said it was france's aim to build a long lasting peace. and that europe is ready to be a stronger partner to the west. and the step of the defense spending, trump expressed hope at the war, was coming towards an end, while mcclung cautions that any potential agreement with russia should not need surrender for ukraine stars 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 putting 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 the next steps you'll have to do supposedly ended up in the us of the, the wires are the layers of peace is a couple the huge and didn't want this one because this piece must not be in and besides render on the home screen and must not signal these one without guarantee conditional into linfield, a lag in the software to keep the cream ticklish roll sheets and the 2 other stable the appropriate parts. here has the strategic consultancy rasmussen, global. i asked him whether he thought my chrome was able to get through to the us president on the european position this. maybe the next question is isaac managed to convince, tried to change or to re balance his approach to the,

to the war. and clearly my call dropped the right documents. we could maybe the pro is that these documents can be too late in the, at washington. the sure that'd be possibly a part of the table uh over the months ago. uh, but uh, it's not clear whether those documents, however correct. uh, which is you create and need some sleep sick. got a security guarantees, you know, the, to preserve each independent. and so right. in a postwar context, those arguments, i'm not sure have really visual dated. we've done a truck. this is, i think, also a big part of new york and quite frankly, will have not managed to assemble convincing and off big enough plan to take to washington the to say, hey, look, we're willing to put that much skinny in the game. we're willing to take on that much risk and cover that much cost, but we do need the united states of america contributions to g r,

a security guarantees. and we also need to have a seat at the table, open negotiation. so it comes, it'd be like the late mission, but not clear whether you'd made any difference at this stage. now the west president has also said that he thinks vladimir putin would accept a european piece, capers in ukraine. and that, of course, of a big departure from what we have previously heard from russia. what do you make of this? so what i think is interesting. uh, but the key, the key here is for us, europe at this keepers. uh oh, you're a big troops in ukraine to note that the us troops have that back. and i think this probably was the key. why don't the key parts of the conversation behind close doors between my cohen try and peas, whether the united states would be good guarantors of the characters. and this is where there has been developed and so far by the by chunk of news advisors and eve,

there was somebody fault on that. there was some progress. i think it would really be key for the u. k. but also germany and other countries to be willing to take the risk because there is a risk obviously of critique europe in forces on ukrainian ground or ukrainian air and murray time, space territory and waters. as for peace play the head of the strategic consultancy rasmussen global speaking to me earlier and we do have time to bring you up to speed with some other world news headlines. for days president, rest of type are to one has offered to host possible talks on ending war and ukraine. he's been meeting the russian for administer survey lab for often was 31 says on correct, will be happy to help mediate any negotiations between months ago. and i knew that a hi one's coast guard has detained a cargo ship with 8 chinese crew members. after a nearby, under c telecom the cable was disconnected. authorities say they're investigating whether the car was intentional. taiwan has reported 5 cases of c cable malfunction
