increasing the pressure on ukrainian forces and on the countries president, lat him is that landscape says he regrets his oliver office blow out with donald trump and says he's not ready to to go see a piece. so cut, he meant the rest with washington and the guy in america's full support. i'm feel go invalid, and this is the day the earlier today i received an important letter from president zalinski of ukraine. the letter res, ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table. as soon as possible, we're talking about a, a location, a date, negotiating team. a way to ensure we have peace is to ensure regard to any deal which is in place in process stops. fighting the will and, but if your brakes start spying, ukraine will and we have taken

a step back. i think we're going to see the movement in very short order holes on the day president trump gives a one hour forcing minute speech. patrick, bold claims and strong rhetoric. democrats say it was all show and no substance. so do his plans actually help americans get ahead? not even close. president trump is trying to deliver an unprecedented giveaway to his billionaire friends. he's on the hunt to find trillions of dollars to pass along to the wealthiest in america. and to do that, he's going to make you pay in every part of your life. welcome to the day, just 24 hours after cutting off military aid to ukraine. united states has refilled back. it is no longer sharing intelligence with keith, which is vital for ukrainian front line troops and for protecting civilians from russian attacks. it's another blowing to kind of president who has been doing all

he can to repair relations with donald trump after that whitehouse route, including sending him back to to his us counterpart. expressing his regret. earlier today i received an important letter from president village k of you agree, the letter res, ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. nobody wants peace more than the ukrainians. you said my team and i stand ready to work on the president. trump's strong leadership, the san jose, these li, we've had serious discussions with russia and i received strong signal is that they are ready for peace. wouldn't that be beautiful with nothing? well, present the landscape lathrop is to have struck a chord with the whitehouse with us. officials say they're experiencing

a new ukranian waiting list to talk substance. the 2 sides of reports of the re stock discussions on a mineral steel. and the potential piece agreement with russia is more from president trump national security advisor mike waltz. i just got off the phone before i walked out here with my counterpart, ukrainian national security advisor. we are having good talks on a location for uh uh for the next round of negotiations on delegations on substance. uh so just in the last 24 hours. uh, since the public statement from zalinski and then the subsequent conversations, which i'm going to walk inside and continue. i think we're going to see a movement in very short order. with the photos on us intelligence and military aid for ukraine has separate a crucial lifeline and it's fine to against russia's invasion. billions of dollars worth of equipment either on roots or on order will no longer be delivered. it will

take time for the effects of the stuff is to filter down to the front line. but here's a look of what that could mean. it is perhaps the biggest blow yet to ukraine's more a foot. the united states. c, i, a director consuming. it has cut off us intelligence, cheering to ukraine, so depriving it's frontline forces of key information in its fight against russia. waste and allies, including the u. k had been banned from sharing washington's knowledge through the limiting us support alongside pausing its military aid to keep previous lifelines from its biggest millet tribeca. the us has provided more than $64000000000.00 topping europe's spend. but a little of that was just for donald trump took office it's and before his dramatic whitehouse route with the load of me is the landscape. the always provides about

the cheapest seem to of ukraine's weapons, including many of its most powerful among them in defenses. like the national advance surface to air missile system or nations. hook missiles and patriot missiles, old volume shall and shooting down russian drone and messiah tax. the patriots, as the us, as most advanced a defense system and is key and protecting ukraine's energy infrastructure. but it's not cheap and into sick to miss all costs. around 3800000 euro used to round the launch. it's cost about $9400000.00. h. crane will now have to carefully ration it's remaining supplies. thank you. is also provides king ground defense equipment, such as abrams tanks, bradley vehicles, how it says and high must rock it launches high mas rockets have been particularly

effective in allowing ukraine to sit munitions depos behind russian lines. the waste also supplies smaller weekends and munitions like javelin, empty tank muscles considered crucial and stopping rushes advance. it's not just the lack of new width and sick to stymie you. cranes fight many pots required to fix damage, equipment and specialists. munitions are only available from the us. ukraine can keep slicing for now with military expense estimation. current supplies will last until summer. this, let's look at masses arising them with the major al petrovich, who is co founder and chairman of the silverado policy accelerates. i think tank is a geo political out and the list of with specialism in china and russia. welcome to d w. how quickly do you think the us pause in intelligence assessments to ukraine

will make itself felt? well, for certain things that they will feel to right away, because they will have less intelligence on the launches of missiles at christmas, cells and drones against their territory to help with their defense, they'll have less ability to do deep stripe missions against our depot command. post and targets within potentially russia itself, but none of this is completely recoverable from and certainly others can step in the brett's, the dodge and others have a fantastic abilities on collection inside restaurants. and can i step in and field some of that void ukraine's themselves have a lot of intelligence collections options as well, using that drones and other capabilities. they how, how does the need to do so because of us was doing it all for them, but now they'll have to rely on some of those capabilities. ok, so not that bad. no yet. which is good. i suppose i'm

that that what show leave is late fees move from the united states, expressed as to the idea of the us is no longer to be relied on doing spotless in every sphere and not have to check back contracts and start searching for new friends well i think this is already happening, you're, you're hearing from the incoming likely transfer parts and, and the present record. another saying that your pass to wake up, we have to provide for our own defense. we can no longer rely in the united states . so some of those conversations are starting to happen when the early stages of that the key question will be, will the united states provide the supply of weapons that the europeans have bought? american weapons to credit as well. obviously they can enforce uh, export controls on that weapon rate and prevent license the through licenses.

prevent, prevent that those transfer. so how far will the trump administration go and trying to curtail us defense is just about we are out of this fight. we will no longer provide aid ourselves, right? intelligence and military. others can do it for them. and what do we know about a lot of influence at times for peace as well? i think i radically, all of these actions are actually in bold input. and because he, i think got very clearly believes that he can achieve more on the battlefield. he thinks that the, the stoppages of aid and intelligence will help him achieve more in terms of catherine territory and that his maximus, demands which have been maximized even before uh the slightest spot has occurred. i have probably only solidifies and he is requesting not just the territory that he's got today and some sort of ceasefire. i don't think he has any interest in that. he wants at least the falls full for and extolled last year that he doesn't

fully controlled today, but i want to be given over to him. he wants to recognition of that territory as part of russia, which is a red line for your claim. and depending on society will insist on political changes with any crane. i think you'll want the president, the landscape, the stuff down you'll want, ability to, we can interfere and you can and politics to make it eventually closer and closer, politically tied to russia. so all of those things will be very right, like a for so brain leaders as well. just a, i'm would on china's position in this chaos. on the one hand, we might think it would relish the disruption in the west. but today, it's embassy in the us that beijing is ready for what it called any type of boil with america. after being hit with these new trump tires. what do you make of that as well? the chinese are actually nervous. on one hand, they see some positives, they see that maybe there's an opening with europe by, with europeans increasingly being distraught and concerned about their relationship

with america. i saw this at the munich security conference just a couple of weeks ago with the chinese trying to expand and to add to the opinions by the, on the other hand, the us and russia relationship is a great concern to them. because they know that the united states wants to pull russia away from china. the chinese don't want to see that happen. and of course, they're very concerned about the economic measures are being taken against them, particularly on the tower front. okay, now you need is made in brussels on 1st night to discuss an 800000000000 your defense plan. ahead of fact, jeremy's chancellor in waiting does announce plans to boost germany's defense capabilities. well here move from frederick, met speaking yesterday, and then get your view on your response. understand why. so given the growing threat situation, we are fully aware that europe and with the german need, must now make very launch efforts very quickly to strengthen the defense of the

country. and a few roughly some continents to dimitry outside of it's from the silverado policy, except i to, we mentioned the fact that the europe now has gotten the message. but how do you assess yours ability to get its act together sufficiently to follow through on a plan to we in itself, off dependence on the us? that is the question, isn't that and look so far, both the germans, the british, the french, are making the right moves their stuff. they're saying that they will step up defense spending. europe has the capacity to do so. it can replace most of the weapons that the u. s. is providing to ukraine, except for the patriots missiles for ballistic defense. although the franchise of have a version of that that they can ramp up production for. so their answers to everything . the question is, is you're going to be willing to spend and spend significant quantities of

a funds to make sure that, that you can, can continue in this fight. it's not just the spending, though, is a, it's getting everyone pointing in the same direction. we have a meeting at today between a manual maximum and gary and a prime minister because he's ready to put a spot in the words when it comes to increase your pin of spending on defense it's, it's just difficult to get the old 27 leaders to agree yeah, i mean it depends on what the grain obviously if jeremy wants to ramp up its defense, but any offense wants to do so they don't need victoria bonds permission to do so. so a lot of this stuff they can do on their own, germany, france, u. k. poland, to some extent and italy are key to all of this. uh the, the other countries matter, considerably less. but when it comes to, for example, of the sanctions, the sanctions against restaurants coming up for renewal in a few months and a victor or bon is going to veto that. that's of course, gonna relieve some of the pressure from food and we'll see what donald trump does

with the rest of the sanctions as well. the planning is desperately want the sanctions on russia to continue to keep up that pressure. all right, let's look ahead. um, the, the fear of so many countries in europe is if the will, ukraine will get settled in a rush on what appeared to be russian terms. it's only a matter of time before russia looks elsewhere. the baltics perhaps for more territory is that do you believe credible, and what sort of time scale are we looking at? or? i think there is a certainly a problem. the baltics with a little face, i think less so for poland, slovakia, and certainly much, much less for germany, france and other central and southern european countries. but the baltics available, they've always been vulnerable. in fact, nature, defense plants of the baltics really call for the fact that the russians will overwhelm the initial defense and ada would have to retake the country. and in the

aftermath of the 3 countries and questions here. so there is a problem there. i think the crane is a very special thing though for food, and he's been obsessed with the crane and, and losing ukraine for over 30 years. there's a interview had given when he was a bureau common st. petersburg in 1990 talking about the catastrophe of losing ukraine in the fall of the soviet union. so that is a very different situation for him from even other soviet union. a republic like georgia, armenia, cause x don or the baltic states. so i don't think he's going to be in that particular rush to go out to those countries. but if he sees a falling apart, if he sees an opportunity, you may very well take it on the worry now and your paying capital as is if the emergency call goes out because of russia has decided to have a go at the baltics is america, go to answer the phone. that's right, but frankly,

even before donald trump, even before the tensions that you're seeing right now with a nato, that was already the case. because of course, we're facing the other problem, the united states, as with china and a potential conflict with china over tie one. and it's a scenario with united states, is that what we're china? it's ability to do anything. you are going to be severely limited. so i've been telling my friends in europe that they have to figure out how to do defense of the concept without americans help regardless of the political world to support them for washington. because we may not have the capability to do so. a hi, fidel castro that so clearly at dimitri out petrovich from the silverado policy, accelerate to thank so much. thank you. mister speaker, the president of the united states. hold on from boss to my my lights when he arrived for joy. the 2nd time on tuesday, this is office, you'll just need to talk to to record the 6 weeks. he's being

a office and we had no shortage of material thinking of taking treatments at home and improve the race like this political adversaries and declare that he's only just getting stats. it's still awesome of the key. please bar and 43 days in most administration's accomplished and 4 years or 8 years and we are just getting started and we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border cross who's ever recorded. thank you. the media and our friends in the democratic party kept saying, we need a new legislation. we must have legislation to secure the border, but it turned out that all we really needed. it was a new president to take your seat. the

di, created the brand new department of government efficiency. so perhaps you've heard of it, which is headed by ely, much who is in the gallery tonight. the jobs are about making america rich again and making america great again, and it's happening and it will happen rather quickly. that'd be a little disturbance. but we're okay with that as our country will be. well, no longer. let's take a look at this with the ben alan, who was a democratic member of the california state senate. welcome to the day i think what

you like about donald trump. he's a president who gets things done well, he's, he's getting a lot of wild things done, i suppose, and we'll see how much he actually gets done so much of what he's trying to do right now is getting tied up in court. and it's, it's, it's breaking rules, it's breaking norms. and so far a number of the things he's been trying have been actually fully held up in court. so we'll see. we'll see where all this goes. what we saw and congress seem to mirror america's new political reality rupture. us republicans, backing up president who's getting things done, while the republicans switched around, looking sad and feeling power on us. yeah, it's a, it's a while time. things are very divisive. i do think you saw a lot of democrats pushing back right with their science obviously rep green, jumping up and, and yelling at the president. yeah. which is a breach of the car. and certainly something that started with when

a republican many years ago yelled at president obama during his speech. but, you know, right now the republicans have control of the federal government. they've got the presidency, the house, and the senate, a strong majority of the court, unfortunately. so that there's, there's limits to what democrats can do, but they certainly made their feelings clear that they don't support this, that they have a different vision. and that they, you know, hope that the american people reject this all these actions that have been taking these unprecedented norm busting actions that the presence been taking recently. it's not the best you can do, is that the best the democratic party can do crosses fingers and hope that and hope for the best you hold up signs in the and in congress. but across the last 6 weeks, as the president has stolen through his legislative agenda, the democrats have been next. the silent while. have you been doing? i don't think you've seen that from california. you've seen a massive investment in lawyers. our. our attorney general has been taking the type

of decision to court nearly every single day. and as i say, we've won a number of times so far, there's a lot of cases that are going to be coming up. i mean there's that so, so you see us taking on lots and lots of legal challenges. we're working on legislation right now to try to protect our state of, to, to, for all sorts of things that been happening. but you're right, i mean, the federal, the, there there's, there's limits to what our federal partners can do, but they're pushing back. i mean, their lives, they're launching legislation. they're certainly taking to the airways. they're trying to make the case. they're trying to get on the news and push back. but, you know, in the end of the day, the, the, unfortunately, from my perspective, the american people put their public is in charge of the federal government right now. and is ours. but it's our job to, to, to, to articulate a different vision, to push back. you saw that the democratic response to get out there and talk about how dangerous this is, how, how, how it appropriate this is. and how important it is for us to you to, to put some checks and balances back on the present where it's good. i agree with your new kinds of different divisions. veterans say your policy is pushing because

again, a few times in a, in a room does not a physician make yeah, it's a vision that is about protecting working people about protecting the environment, a proof of protecting access to health care of all of all stripes. it's about defending basic democratic institutions and norms and not threatening to, to violate court orders. it's those kinds of things. it's getting back to a lot of the core principles that, that truly made america great on. why the, why, to why, why isn't, why don't the american people hearing what you've got to say? do you need to change your leadership? i think we are cutting, i will say, i think we are cutting through the president's pulled numbers have dropped. there is you're starting to see when republican members of congress are going home to town hall meetings, people are getting up and yelling at them and holding them accountable and feeling very upset with them. so they're, you're, you're starting to see, push back in the american public. uh, you know,

obviously we need to keep going. we need to keep pushing. we obviously need people to stand up and it'd be, it'd be half spine and backbone. but, but you're, you're, so you're seeing, you're seeing transactions result in, in, in a, in a dropping of his poll numbers. right. the president describes a president by mister, west president in american history. this, the bible has been largely silent since trump took office. why is it that he and also the fullest president, the bank, obama want nate, speaking up in a position to the trump program? yeah, i know the part of the problem here is that we have, we have been doing to, to norms to historic norms were typically presidents let the new president have some space. and this has been something that this happened year after year. you've given the new president you had some time to do to do their work that they were elected to deal with that out too much attack and criticism from a former president. now of course, this guy is just breaking open doors and breaking norms and breaking standers and

breaking the law. quite frankly, in so many ways that it probably does marry a more robust reaction from obama and from clinton and by. and i'd like to see them step up a little more. i know they're trying to be respectful, but he's been so disrespectful. it probably it probably costs for more. uh for, for more, for more of a push back from them. and i like, i'd certainly like to see that for them. and so briefly that would it be fair to say that the, this is a president who has the democrats on the run. you don't know how to deal with him. i don't know that i would say that i think i think that you have i think you have, you have different democrats, of course, have different approaches but, but you but, but you see lisa, the state level, an aggressive pushback largely through the courts, but also through policy, you, there are limited tools to what are partners you know, con. uh, are they obviously going to use the filibuster? they're, they're going to use the, they're the, whatever bully pulpit they have,

but they do have limited tools. but i will say that the message getting through the president's pulled are dropping. people don't like seeing this and, and you're starting to see his popularity cave. all right, well the beth, thank so much for joining us. a ben, ben allen is a member of the california state, send it to the democratic party. thanks so much. thank you. and that's that you can follow the same on the social media at c, w. news make these headlines. of course b, w dot com will only be done by the
