the, the, the headlines here or not, you international, as a lot of me put in the, says russia is ready and willing right now to stop negotiations to stuff will be ukraine conflict. but zalinski is an illegitimate leader that has no constitutional power to sign on. any dotted line is typically good. i'm just, you can negotiate with anyone, but zelinski is be legitimate. he has no right to sign anything. but if he wants to take part in the negotiations, i will send people who will conduct these negotiations. definitely to stop taking lives and open india projects, strikes of the world's largest religious spectacle with hundreds of millions of gather in the coming months. and can also raining of the democratic republic of congo. the one that i'm seeing in the capital is attacked and looted as local anger . a rump is of a kick. ollie's electric support of the militant is if we did the

live and worldwide, we do top storage set to go here and i'll tell you and we'll be joined by the way that correspondent sharma shortly here in the program. for right now, we'll kick it off right here in the heart of the russian capital, letting me boot and saying he's ready and willing to hold peace towards with ukraine. but only with the officials who couldn't leave the lease sign on the dotted line and said landscape does not fit that bill. just keep it a good, i'm just skim. oh, you can negotiate with anyone, but zalinski is getting legitimate. he has no right to sign anything, but if he wants to take part in the negotiations, i will send people who will conduct these negotiations. the issue is the final signing of the documents. this is a very serious issue that should guarantee security for ukraine and russia with a serious long term historical perspective. and there can't be a single slip. everything should be polished,

but in the accordance with the constitution of ukraine, the president of ukraine, even under martial law, does not have the right to extend his powers. only representative authorities have the right to extend their powers, which is only the right of the countries parliament. and the president only has a 5 year term. that's it and nothing else. further, his powers are transferred to the chairman of the rot. but if there is a desire to negotiate and find compromise solutions, let anyone negotiate there. naturally we will strive to achieve what suits us, which corresponds to our interest in terms of signing documents. everything should be done in such a way that lawyers confirm to us the legitimacy of those people who will be authorized by the ukrainian state to sign in these agreements to and they should cancel the decree. that's benz negotiations. well, yes, if we start negotiations now they will be illegitimate. i haven't said it. i'm telling you the truth. there is a problem. why? because when the current head of the regime, that's the only way to call him today. sign this decree. he was the legitimate

president relatively, and now he can't cancel it because he's illegitimate. but that's the trick in ambush a trap. basically, if they want to do it, there is a logical way to let the representatives of the right to do this in accordance with the constitution. if there is a desire, you can close any legal issue. so far, we simply do not see such a desire. i think they can exist, they won't last a month if the money, broadly speaking from the patrons stop. that's it. it will all be over and a month, a month and a half or 2. in this sense ukraine sovereignty is almost 0. so if there western sponsors want to achieve peace, well, the way is very simple. i sent this message to buy them some time ago. if there is a desire, everything is welcome to and then they will quickly find all the legal ways to close the legal issues, including the repeal of this degree banning negotiations. and remember that was a, there was a deal in place. i'll remind you because i put in also setting the record straight,

reminding the west that back in 2022. it was essentially uh, western guys ripped up the agreement. an ocean is a landscape of 5. if you remember the former british prime minister bars johnson, a fluid and scuff with those towards the 1st negotiation and started soon off of the company broke out. and they were initially held in by the roots on the boat is odd, where reps from russia and ukraine will present. moving out to our correspondent who went there and reports on how the situation is now in that area. we are at a border points between the republic of the roof and ukraine at a nova go down to point to point is currently closed. but so during that press conference, i'll send that a little cushion angle after the presidential election of one of the 4 in journalist had asked me if you could have access to this place. headings i live here, single said right away. of course, everybody can go the entire press corps taking to cover the presidential election. and you can see right now there are people from at least 30 countries here,

including of course, the western media. despite the fact that said that border between ukraine and other republican below roost is currently closed. the border guards here are still fully equipped and one of their equipment here is this antique drone weapon, because apparently there are quite a few. i'm at the aerial vehicles in the area. flying over ukraine was over the past year, approximately 350 flights of unmanned aerial vehicles have been recorded near the border with ukraine. in about 20 of these cases, there were violations of the air space and border of the republic of bela roost by these you waves. the bellows border guard has taken appropriate measures to prevent these drones from crossing the state border, using electronic rifles and pump action weapons on your face. to me. now is just cross the border points of the roof on the road heading into ukraine. now this used to be one of the busiest border points in the room because of this is an

international role date was very significant for the economy, not all of the roots on ukraine fights to for other countries as well. but so this border has been closed since the 28th of february of last year. right now there are no people calling back and forth. and of course, this is a well very inconvenient for locals who have go on families on all sides of the water seals. and i have a lot of relatives, friends and acquaintances, and ukraine. in fact, we have half of the ukrainian population here. many of them still have relatives and friends across the border. actually we used to communicate with ukraine and often went to turn a golf to buy things there. there was an exchange between us. they would come to us and we would go to them. now, however, it has been closed and we do not go anywhere any more. i feel safe because we have border guards right beside us who protect us. the 1st contact between

a russia and ukraine took place just 4 days after the start of this special military operation. now according to the presidents of the roof that he saw her with a single zalinski was scared to come to coleman, where the 1st meeting was supposed take place. because a russian border is very close. gillian is cubic available for trucking. zalinski did his best to avoid talks. we agreed to hold the 1st meeting in government at 11 am. the ukrainians arrived just before nightfall. to be honest, i had expected that i sent to the russians not to leave because we would end up getting blamed for not negotiating. thankfully they listen to me. the ukrainians finally arrived at night. that's always been the case. then they said, no, we won't go to go mail. it's dangerous here, the russian border is close over $300000.00 and ukrainians. the city is across the border into the roof is the start of a special military operation. according to bill or russian president,

alexander lucas shinkel, some of those refugees have moved on to europe, russia, or remain in below roof, where he promised them everything in order to survive. the level 300000 people have moved from ukraine to bellows. crossing the border secretly, here is a house, a tractor of combine harvester and a factory for you to go to work and your children will receive free education and health care as well is free kindergarten and other benefits, including 50 percent off utilities. now the entire border between the republican villa, ruth and ukraine, had been closed on the 28th of february of last year. however, the roofs are acting as an intermediary between russia and ukraine when it comes to exchanging prisoners of war and also exchanging bodies on the soldiers who died in battle. according to alexander lucas shouldn't go. he has asked of the landscape

time and again to open up the entire 1084 kilometer border between biller, bruce and ukraine. however, he's saying that's no one is listen to him and he says that this is paramount for both sides, for so many, etc. and reasons, 1st of all, to exchange bodies of the phone, soldiers and prisoners, so for as well. so the leadership police force that has been an exchange of prisoners of war and deceased people on the territorial fellers. unfortunately, there are many of them. hundreds need to be exchanged. we do this because there is a mechanism in place. ukrainians do not contact russians. they are transported to us from both ukraine and russia. we receive them and move them to their countries. i have asked to contact persons to inform zelinski and the ukrainian authorities to stop fooling around. these people are prisoners of war, but they are also in a difficult condition. some are crippled and without legs or arms. people have

already suffered on both sides. i said, opened the gates near gumble, so we can conduct the exchanges according to the border service officials do korean . unmanned aerial vehicles have violated the boundary of the roof at least 20 times . and these guys have also been registering people fleeing for mobilization in the ukraine. this has been happening quite a lot lately, according to their own statements per month, all for f r t. the border between dela, rosa and ukraine, or before the in june, joins us live here on the program to india. we go now where the tragedy has struck in the north as much as a faithful gather to the religious festival of your on this on multiple casualties . offer full hit, locked into that to be got right now it's about a 2 45 pm. luckily there is all these little enjoying the shuttle arrangement to bring us up to speed. what do we know at this point? or you see it already. several haven't been injured and

many l. c, or dead out the ma comb, festival comb with degree to cold. this is in the most purely seat in the office or provision to city cause a prion loss and all the fine me that sort of thing the, on the movie. actually, you fortunately, monitoring the situation, he has at least 3 times spoken to the chief, minnesota who are for the staff. the stand off. in fact, the given to contain the situation just for the context here. the cloud wash happens at some point in the home festival. a sound good point is where the just reward the mystical, subtle slip, unifor meeting. this meeting point is the ponies point and the he new faith in that record is basically a believes to lead you from all of your citizens. this is where this crash, this crash. the sound really happens. now the state government has been to bury

this happens once in 12 years. this really, he's the largest you wouldn't be in the world really. and the millions, in fact, around $400.00 balloons. the who are expected to attend the festival over the age of 45 days to just see do some context here in hudson from last year. they've been around 1800000 people. so you can get the context that once just how many people are not gonna need some email, but from outside of india, attend this particular event. now the state government dot, it'd be, have implemented a 7 layer of security system around 48000 police force scenarios. so i need is in a multiple languages to prove in sam fee because sound key to something that has a hole in the past as well. around a 100000 workers and officials were tasked with the months in fact on to

manage the logistics. yeah. so the authorities off now, of course the correspondents overlander and shot them at live in new delhi. thank you for pfizer, opting and perceive that tact old in the capital city of the democratic republic of congo. it was chaos erupt that tuesday locals hitting the streets and protest of a sponsored minutes in groups sweeping the eastern part of the nation. a photo showing protest as around the sucking they were one to an embassy. in contrast, they allege that one there was sponsoring the 23 minutes in group. and this location as well as the french embassy was set on fire. the american belgian and kenyan concert was also targeted as 3 days of heavy fighting between the national army and the groups and the east of the country led to at least $25.00 death. so nearly $400.00 wounded. the protest to say the nation is beds and the minutes of the east are acting on behalf, as they say, a foreign power. all of this is the property of our country,

even though we have sit fired with no one regrets. this. those who have died in government are worth more than anything we've destroyed here. what we're doing is not so bad. we have nothing to blame ourselves for. if the ones hadn't killed our brothers and sisters, we wouldn't be here. they're up, they're hiding. polk gum, a must understand that we, the congo, these people are angry. if this building falls, then let it fall. we worked 5 kilometers to get here. we have only one desire to destroy this house. look at these chairs i took, no one is going to stop me. i'm at home here in my own country. now the ongoing process and the eastern biase send sparks flying with united nations as a comb, glazing rwandan spa during an emergency meeting on tuesday. then to do it, things like your district and in the eastern. yes, it has only one immediate cause of the opposition by the president of the data i

see for immediate the solution and the fest for the gym change in the run. we have said over this, over and over to discuss, so in order to bring about this eastern jesse, run the course on the following one. the full implementation of meaning and utilization of if data, which will lead to the lifting of a front as defensive images. render cause on there is a draw of foreign troops, part of the problem, but it's quite addition and recall and for your opinion, most of that is to be budgeted and be held accountable. brenda believes that one new school can be useful ended in starting. this is tough, it may spend the se by stuff and get supports during national, i mean with the gym change minded, as well as it's support to you and thank you and give us idea for us and european less than that is subject forces forces deployment for some of the r c were not deployed unilaterally by the d r c, but rather with a mandate from the a you. the m 23 excluded itself from the ne will be processed by renewing

a tax against the f r d c. the government of the d r c has none. the less express its willingness to re include to be implemented 3 and then they will be process on regime change. we will remind the run delegation, but the m 23 and the f. c has repeated in the expressed as intent to march and control. so the very m $23.00 run the forces are backing right now as well. congest also, it gives us to golly, of supporting m, $23.00 militants to get access to the, the aussies of mineral resources, which are critical for the production of electric vehicles, laptops, mobile phones. and if you remember just a year ago, the e u sign, the memorandum with neighboring lawanda to secure its result supply chain. so many locals are saying much over one of those resources actually come from across the border in the the see less land more. here's our correspondent, notable congress. it's not exactly news to many that relations between the

democratic republic of congo and the one the knots on the federalist of terms. in fact, of a history has been maya def, and move in city is the concept. and according to can stuff so no one does backing off the into the city fights. as carmen speech advancing in the eastern parts of the dfcs has made matches even worse. wonderful denies. all the categories of the credit crisis could have been invited, had to get us the government to demonstrate to the general commitment to peace as consequence. and in violation of this is for the 5 dis they decided to intensify its mediator operation by attacking the positions of the m $23.00, which is heavy at did and took more territories. i unfortunately would agree that the dimension of community chose to condemn the empty city for extending your state authority is without condemning fire this, i mean to collision for violating this is fire. after the postponement of the 15th

of december to enter into $41.00, the assignment ministration aggravated under ground, due to the dentist is up session with a mentor solution to this conflict. and as i mentioned, these occupations are not in 20 to 12. the lots of nations click to testimonies of to speak to him to the 3 members who explained how to god he had been assisting the group. since it's inception, despite denial from to gotten to once again, the international reaction back then with the united states can sold a military age package to the country and applied significance to for my to pressure you in various mean the states following suit. if last year, brussels support to dial it in from the cold, my signing and memorandum with it. so what pull to the office? i'm change of heart, simple, very minimal. pacific mineral value chains are critical to rolanda is economy. the

country is a major player on the world's 10, tell them extraction. it also produces 10 tungsten gold and i opium, and has the potential for lithium and rare earth elements. in addition, rolanda with its favorable investment climate and rule of law can become a hub for value addition in the mineral sector. since the deal was inc, the into the city, a group established for control of legal by a mining everything east and cult every a whole deposit soft tend to them. it re mitchell extracted from colton. and i see you in miss sitting combo said over 15 percent of the will supply off. this key material comes from the cap to give you exits, did some digging, and falling back to the one does, colton. x 4 have increased by 50 sage of twigs for the city, compared to just the year before this made to the one that became the world's largest colton. exporting to detroit city. she is the catch. the numbers shows the world's biggest cancelled the producer is not for $1.00,

but the d. c. it has increased. it's 10 to the minus the activities in recent years in total and put out $908.00 to metric tons of the we until the 20 to the city, producing nearly 4 to one percent of the world's mind supplies. that's now take you back to the e, you've signed the that's memorandum of understanding. will strategic minimal. what one to guess? who's a major player when it comes to cancel the restriction, according to the dfcs. know, once again, you might to question why it's not the minimal which to yes. well, some have the answer you, we're renting and it's funding run out because of our national company is, wants to act suit to, to have access to just such as this is the easiest way. this is the cheapest way costs going with is kind of just giving better sources like that, that's of the use, i mean, but, and you can see this on them. and this is an issue over my measurements that roll minutes of a kind of

a stretch. as the d. c is extracted from that country without any beneficiary action. they all come back because in order to get access to those areas with these very important 3 minimal costs, and unfortunately then the people of advocate are being played cold against each other for the sake of getting access to those mineral. let's see, you'd wonder memorandum has left a very bit to taste in the mouth of the colonies lead. it's a provocation, and very bad taste for one that continues to hide behind the m 23, which is why i do not talk to this terrorist group. my priority is peace, i want definitive piece for my country for that i am ready to put a pause on my will like desires, if we can obtain it with no more like methods, i will sign with both hands. but if it takes war to have peace, i will also do it with both hands. the d a c foreign minister went even further

that he directly accused of open countries of all fluids and gets results, disagreement on what the european union terms strategic, raw materials is not an isolated occurrence. the use complicity in the exportation of our resources. and we're one to aggression against our nation, cannot be overlooked. we have denounced these actions. they undermine the mutual trust necessary for our partnership with the european union. but is this just history repeating itself? is only 2 sizes that you in puppies to report, to concluding that governments stuff. you've gone to add one. that was some ok to it. in some parts of the d. c will profiting from the conflict by lead to diamonds goals to colton. and as the precious metals, the recent departure of troops should not be interpreted as a sign of her one does willingness to reduce its considerable involvement in the evacuation of valuable resources to reduce the level of arm conflict or to diminish the humanitarian crisis and the region economic exploitation in its various forms

will continue relying on a less conspicuous armed force and alternative strategies for carrying out the exploitative activities. and even with this, yeah, washington has a choose a one to add to that and also legally accepting intervals from congo or wants to present push back saying it would be best for washington to monetize phone. which you know, is, is, is it does more mining in the eastern new coma or in the coma than the federal and i never knew a perfect plain game. what mistake, what lies behind this with needful companies or sources? cobalt is critical to the renewable energy transition. let's take a few of the material is required for the best of production. batch leaks of vehicles and energy storage systems tend to use the phones, solar panels and wind turbine components. that's the thing about these minimal resources. ostrich, egypt for the u. s. claims degree and its economy and to become climate meets over

$2.00 to $50.00. they even admitted coal, both lucy and tend to them. all of them all considered as critical and full of strategic importance for you've opiates, society as well face. and now as a conflict, basically the world has largely failed to notice the english actions. and how is the huff hosted condemnation for the one that you packed, as far as big multinational companies that want to make sure that they have access to their a hose, minerals of the d, f c. and they don't care whether they get to through the government of the d, r c o, through the innovation. so for one, the whole through any other groups such as they entered into 3 groups. the only thing they interested in is to get those minerals because those minerals is single in the manufacturing of computers and of smartphones. and in fact some of those

minerals totally found in the d r c. so it's easy, simple for them to have access to those models and it is the most expensive of flight to jet. the world has ever known. but what many of cold and american may technological boom dogwill is literally falling out of a sky. but the 5th generation f, 35 still defied. here is clearly seen here arriving. it is final resting spot in the bullet fired and us air force base and alaska, the power of heavy c, 17 cargo planes, and the full round. the pilot reportedly survived and power should have down shortly after. there are no immediate details on why the crash happened, but a to a trillion dollar program has been played for years with cost over runs and malfunctions that have grounded the fleet from time to time. well, the fact is that various aviation experts have said that the world's most expensive package right, has only mentioned already 50 percent of the time. they say it's because of

a maintenance and repair issues. the f 35 typically spends 45 percent of his entire life, round it, not flying in so many upset before the american ministry, rather than being designed for military purposes, is really just designed for profit. actually a question with us we. i live from oscar. it's off the introduction, the the, [000:00:00;00]

the, [000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to cross software. all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle. trump says he wants to end the conflict in ukraine. his rhetoric appears to demonstrate a negotiating strategy. but what does ending the conflict mean? victory for one side and defeat for the other. importantly. what does piece mean in this context? the press ok in ukraine. i'm joined by my guess, mets nielsen in stockholm. he is a senior analyst at visit and club in athens. we have dmitri plus caught us. he is a lawyer and a freelance journalist and him are say we cross suit pretty pantano. he's an independent journalist and contributor at 21st century wire or at tillman cross

black roles in effect, that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate that. so let's go to you 1st and stop. com. you know, every few hours there's a new headline about a negotiating position. now the trump is thinking, this is advisors are thinking that even in ukraine, they're saying this is what the trunk team is thinking. um. it's all nice and fine, i'm glad they're thinking about it here. but there doesn't seem to be any coherence to any of it. if anything, it's there among their talking among themselves. negotiating with the other side meeting, russia isn't even in the cards. yeah. and your thoughts go ahead and i think especially europe is still stuck in an item. this, the position of the swedish afford and administer on monday of this week said that we, europeans have 3 core interests. and this was my re stand

a guard to the swedish for the minister saying this. we have 3 core interests. as you are peons keeping ukraine strong, russia we and the u. s. in. now i don't really know where to start. yeah. well, well, not a bad. so i, i, you know, i, i, i'm not really a well aware of the, the, the, your foreign minister, but i mean, those are not the new ideas that is been, that was the mentor of the cold war. so, i'm not even imagine the imaginative thinking coming out of what you're repeating. capitals continue please. you know, it's, it's, they're, they're stuck in, in the, in the world as they wanted to be. there is obviously no reality based discussion with into european union and trying to match trump's new rhetoric even though denmark is being threatened to,

the european leaders are still stuck in in the i the list come and call us said, i think this past weekend said the date was in the interest all the europe to dismantle the russia and break it off into smaller parts. i don't know where and where this came from, but it's this, this a breeze and idea that's been been with the european union and especially with um, i would say england since the time of the great game, russia has always been seeing us as an adversary. now, at trump coming in and kind of at re lighting the fire of the, or regional monroe, dr. tree. meaning that trump is signaling that america is now going to focus on his part of the western hemisphere with panama threatening columbia. going after canada
