the little m. terry martin could have you with us. united states has split with us european allies at the united nations by refusing to blame russia for its invasion of ukraine. us and france were it all at the un security council, where the us failed to back a resolution labeling russia as the aggressor in ukraine's war. despite this present, trump has again stated the conflict could and within weeks and the presence lensky 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 that take place affirming ukraine's territorial integrity and calling on russia to seize hostilities to under president

donald trump. us is taking a difference dancers, since it's but the time for russia and ukraine to make difficult choices. and the fighting is now we call on all other un member states to join the united states and 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 a to your pin allies. but both the general assembly joined russia, north korea, iran and others in voting against a 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 is existential war. this is 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 a cute architecture. it is impossible to stop the aggressive by appeasing it basement doesn't work. the west instead pushed for its own competing resolution named the path to peace porch calls for swift and to the war. without naming rushes, 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. that's who went through this. it the rush, i chose to bring them back to europe and saw him. then over the past 3 years. and i do have russia has been waging a brutal legal unjustifiable aggression against ukraine, with a blatant disregard for international humanitarian law. and mindy club deliberately, colquitt appropriate, i shall see below 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 to this present. donald trump has been focusing on doing a deal with ukraine for minerals and resources, as part of the piece plan who's trying to broker the cranes present blogging me as lensky is not yet committed. but donald trump is bullish about his chances of getting his signature meeting with the tech. he may come in this week or next week to sign the agreement when made a deal was so the agreements being worked on now plus the various other things in here to sign it and that would be great

on join now from key buyer corresponding to conley nick trump says he expects prisoners liskey to appear in his office to sign an agreement in the next week or 2 . first of all, what kind of agreement are we talking about here? yeah, so just to be clear, really important, this is about the minerals and what about potential sci fi? will see the jump team has been claiming that it is close to reaching us these 5 deal. but i think that is realistically, still some time off. how this deal is going to look exactly, we don't know it. we know it's gone through several drafts and we've had leaks and we've had people speaking of the record about what was in the, the initial draft really shocked people here in ukraine, but also across europe. they spoke of economic colonize ation of ukraine by the us . if that were to happen, that deal. there was talk of hundreds of billions, maybe up to $500000000000.00 worth of money for the us in this there was $2.00 of us are excluding european another companies basically giving american funds 1st,

right of refusal on all these big mineral projects and ukraine and the other important thing to vermont care is that, you know, it is even clear that there are enough of these minerals that are out multiple at reasonable prices, as has been claimed as well down to date, to the dis, decades old. but certainly this is something that don't, trump has gone for hard on fost. he's obviously interested and kind of captivated by this idea. and we've just had the ukraine saying, well, you know, let's talk about security too. if you want us to give this, then let's see what this provides you. great in terms of long term security guarantees. if you're not gonna give us nato, and this little to push back from the ukraine side who say simply and you can ask us to pay back stuff that we've given is a, we're willing to deal with it. we're willing to maybe talk about paying back new aid if you give it to us, but we not going to just accept everything that we've received so far was alone. when actually it was, you know, it was 8 and was stated as a gift. exactly. any, any deal about minerals would be linked to look for ukraine to something regarding

security. how likely is it nick, that the ukranian presence then we'll go to washington to meet the us present in the coming days. i think tie, we've been hearing about meetings and trips to dc by moving to lensky 4 weeks now. and they just haven't happened. i think trump is up to try and tangle. this is a kind of incentivized to try and get lensky to sign on the dotted line. kolinski obviously wants to have that handshake and not meeting with trump before teaching does so. but we have seen that while he was lensky isn't going to assign at any price, he's pushed back and pushed back publicly. for now, i'm not so sure that it's going to be a matter of days. this could take longer and the credit just aren't gonna let themselves be bullied by washington for now. big, thank you very much our correspondence in keep nick con. let's say, let's catch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. french authorities have arrested 2 people in relation to an arson attack on the russian consulate in the city of more. say,

play. taiwan coast guard has detained a chinese crude cargo ship over suspicions that it may have suffered. and under seek telecommunications cable. the ship, which is registered in tow go, was intercepted between taiwan is made the island and the outlying tangled highlands. taiwanese authorities have detained 8 crew members and are investigating whether in nearby under c cable was intentionally come. try one is reported 5 cases under c cable malfunction. so far, this year, type pay has raised concerns of china. could damages communications cables in a bid to blockade or sees the island which they think claims as it's our correspondent james trader is following this story for us from ty pay and he said us this update. there's so many details to be on doubts about this particular incidents, but 3 now earlier time ones co, scott said it's hard to,

to change this china link shipped with a crew members. there's one chinese nationals that was off to this on this. the table, this harmonies island offshore islands of palm good was disconnected with ortiz se communication with that islands were not completely disrupted off to communications woods of us and redirected through another on the see tables. but congo is really of the size of a lot of these tensions that situated right in the hearts of the taiwan straits. the narrow stretch of water that separates china and taiwan only a little more than a 100 kilometers in some places. and it's, this is way, you know, the have been increase tensions between china and taiwan over recent years, time one is already reported. 5 cases of c cable malfunctions, se that's up from 3 each last year. and the year before. this is often described as being costs of china's efforts to wage what taiwan cools grades on war 5,

these all in seem a day, 3 tactics. it full below the threshold of formal conflicts, but it designed to wear down at taiwan psychologically. china, it's pos is already spoken out about this particular incidence. china is foreign ministry has said this is not a diplomatic issue and it will not be common thing. further. here in germany and political parties have been holding meetings with the newly elected representatives following sundays, federal election quickly maps looked set to become the country's ex transfer after the seed. you see. so you can sort of the book won the election that says he wants to move quickly and form a new government is aiming for a coalition with the social democrats, the party. so just all going transfer some along or something for the addition part time. the demo caught this database chief political editor mccade across the as the german parliament, as sure what progress we'd like mats is making towards forming a new government. well, he's already held tools. he reached out to one of the co leaders of the social

democrats taunts the old. i've seltz's s p d policy already on monday. so they've held talks already. but 1st of all, he has to work out how to get through the next couple of weeks, which for sure will take to form a new coalition for these mounts. headed to the top 3 this morning to discuss with car in town. so it would have sold what to do next because the bad news is coming, they can foster both off the campaign was over and people cost the votes were more outspoken about the huge towns as europe and germany is facing freely. smith's questioning whether that transatlantic relationship will hold, which also throws into question where the natives, article 5 of assistance actually still applies. so united her, we've been through this 1st gathering of m p. 's many times over. usually it has a feeling of 1st day at school, but it's a lot more serious a lot a lot most done this time around because everyone knows that decisions will need to

be taken even before this newly elect department gave us for the 1st time. and even before fluid each minutes had time with the social democrats to work out. anything like a coalition agreement became germany is under huge pressure now to help boost europe's defense capabilities. now that it feels it can no longer depend as much on the us for security. how is police mounts likely to approach that? that's your, that's a big question now, and there would be 2 options on the table. does he and that is unprecedented together with current sounds. so it would have souls decide to use the old parliament majorities in cool in the last parliament for one last time to get over . the debt break, which is enshrined in the constitution needed to start majority for that because they now face a new reality where in the new parliament they don't have that to serve majority unless they bring in the less policy even factoring in the greens. so that's

a huge problem that they have and a big overall of, of a reform that's what the social democrats would like to see. but even deciding and there is talk of potentially 200000000000 extra in defense spending. and that could be decided in the new parliament by declaring an exception, if all parties in government agree that they feel that as an imminent threats, that leads to be addressed. so those are the 2 options that are currently being discussed behind coast rules. and that's why the moved here is a lot more serious. and then the other aspect, somebody has to sell this to a public who faced and election campaign that was mainly on migration and the economy. mckayla, thank you very much for now. that was the w as chief political editor, mechanics of not down at the german buddhist. so you're watching dw news from berlin up next, close up, takes a closer look at georgia,
