the the interesting question, president clinton and a trump successfully discuss ending the ukraine complex to the surprise and ensuing uproar from key of reaction moscow's top diplomat finds regretful. politics is about sitting down to talk and find common ground. i am very sad that the reaction of the west shows that there are practically no such people left that the top cats, washington allies in europe, off guard as well, with kids sonjee you back or is now really to be included in the decision making process. and you crane sanctions, its own former presidents field or part of sango following white house calls from

bottom is lucy to finally hold election? the i'm rachel ruble. you're watching archie international live in moscow on moscow. stop diplomat has taken shots at the west as what he describes as a normal phone call between the russian and us. presidents has caused an uproar among ukraine's allies for ministers. circuit lumber. i've added that his colleagues in europe seem to have forgotten how diplomacy works. you know what i just thought, but i was able to test the i was struck by the fact that the whole world is now when it kind of stupid they regard the phone conversation and the result of that phone conversation as something out of the ordinary. so this is wanting to bite in administration led by the president. the european satellites have brought themselves to and they have discarded diplomacy as a method of communicating with the outside world. judging by the surprise,

the stupid that the phone call between trump and put in cause the west is taking everything that's going on in ukraine. what zalinski is nazi regime is doing as a given that this is exactly how you should communicate with russia. that is probably why many in the west starting with the leaders of the european union, was stunned when a normal elementary conversation between 2 well managed. polite people took place. people who do not take know that differences and then many of them, but who are very aware that politics is about sitting down to tool can find common ground. i am very sad that the reaction of the west shows that there are practically no such people left there and went to well minded people demonstrate how politics must be done. i hope it will cyber up those who have forgotten and make them re read the history and political science textbooks. on addition to what we heard from sort a lab, rob, we also have some new commentary from the kremlin about this phone call between donald trump and vladimir putin. and it looks like they're already getting the ball rolling in terms of organizing an in person meeting between these 2 heads of state

level. just so that is true of the heads of states agreed yesterday during a telephone conversation that they themselves would continue to contact and are looking to a separate meeting. we also agreed that instructions would be given immediately to the relevant aids so that they can start the necessary work. now, of course, the work will be started quickly. it will be necessary to wait for certain developments. it will be possible to talk about where when and so on, was an important conversation, considering the situation of the last several years when there has been no high level contact between moscow and washington. of course, that lack of contact did not contribute at all to the search for any settlement options. the previous us administration held the view that everything should be done to ensure that the work continues as far as we understand the current administration. and here's to the view that everything must be done to stop the war and for peace to prevail. where much more impressed with the position of the current administration. and we're open to dialogue. the experience of the mist

agreement speaks volumes, and of course, we will always take this experience into the account in all future steps. as far as significant, the past calls mentioned the minsk agreements there that were supposed to establish a ceasefire all the way back in 2015 when they were assigned to they were supposed to establish deceased bar and ukraine conflicts. and these agreements were signed off on by germany and france as well. only further officials later to admit that the uminski agreements for them were only an excuse to buy time for ukraine to build up its military. so of course, russia at this point is not interested in just another ceasefire. they want to end this conflict once and for all. and because of this whole situation, a lot of the european union media outlets and officials feel like they're going to be sidelined in any negotiations between the us and russia. so what is the cranes position looking like? and all of this were right after his conversation with bruton trump actually called vladimir zalinski, and according to his lensky himself, this conversation was about an hour long. but at the same time,

ukrainian media was saying that it was only 10 minutes. and this might have something to do with the fact that ukrainian media outlets had been reporting that so that basically keith is becoming more and more worried about being sidelined in some potential negotiations between the united states and russia. and when trump was asked whether or not ukraine would be on a level footing with the other countries that are in this negotiating process, he basically said that they just have to make peace in the us. um, and is there a st question? uh, i think they have to make peace that people have been killed and i think they have to make peace. i said that was not a good way to go into and i think they have to make peace. that's what i'd say. so don, do we have an indication of what a future deal might look like? well, based on the trumpet, ministrations, recent statements, it's really looking like they have a much more pragmatic,

realistic approach to any sort of potential peace negotiations. and that for ukraine means that they are going to be in for a serious reality check. secretary defense who's actually be made a statement today saying that he thinks is unlikely or impractical. i think probably that's true. i think long before president button, as i said, there's no way that allow that this has been going on for many, many years. and they've been saying that for a long time is that you grange and not go into nato then. and i'm, and i'm ok with that, i just want the word whether they are there or not. but i, it certainly would seem to be that most people have said that that is something that's not good. well i think page said today that that's unlikely, right? we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective,

is chasing this. illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. it certainly would seem to be unlikely. they took a lot of land and they fought for that land and they lost a lot of uh they lost a lot of soldiers, but it would just seem to be and i'm not, i'm not making an opinion on it, but i read a lot on it. and lot of people think that that sort of likely have us defense. secretary was also asked if the trump administration stance constitutes a betrayal of care when he was at a press conference at, during meetings with nato defense ministers. and he didn't think he didn't seem to think so at all. let's take a listen to what he said. that's your language. not mine, certainly not a betrayal. but as i said to our allies yesterday,

we recognize the incredible commitment that has been made over many years. and no country as the president trump has pointed out, has made a larger commitment to the ukrainian mission than united states of america. north of $300000000000.00. so the united states has invested in stabilizing those front lines. after the aggression of russia, there is no betrayal there. there is a recognition that the whole world in the united states has invested in interested in peace, a negotiated piece. so really looks like what we're witnessing here is a serious paradigm shift, a paradigm shift towards peace and a paradigm shift. but european union and ukraine might not be too happy about well described as a direct and warm conversation between the russian and american leaders. the call caught european officials completely off guard. washington allies are now repeatedly rushing to ensure that talks include them and k of in any peace negotiations. i think that you support will continue until peace is reached. and

while the trump team has made it clear that ukraine's bed fernando is unrealistic, germany persist in pushing kias membership. the dollar he isn't does is obviously it's unfortunate. and i say this truthfully, the trumpet ministration had already made public admissions to prove them before negotiations have even begun. from my point of view, it would have been better to talk about ukraine's possible nato membership for the country's loss of territory only at the negotiating table. and not take it off the table beforehand. reaction from mainstream media also came pouring in. some outlets have stated that us relations with europe will never be the same. and others claim put and then trump are now calling the shots with the middle ground questioning the faith of ukraine after washington's meddling. not all european leaders are on the same page as the hon gary and prime minister has blasted the you statement demanding it's countries have a role at the negotiating table. of this declaration is

a sad testament of bad brazilian leadership. while president trump and president putin negotiate on peace, e u officials issue worthless statements, you can't request a seat at the negotiating table. you have to earn it through strength, good leadership and smart diplomacy. the position of brussels to support killing as long as it takes is morally and politically unacceptable. let's cross now to our take contributor carl john caro. the wall street journal's reporting china may be interested in hosting a personal meeting between donald trump and vladimir putin. but we haven't gotten any official confirmation yet. do you think that the reports could potentially be accurate? and if so, what does badging stand to gain by mediating these talks for china has all ready stated many on many occasions that you would like to oppose a keys conference that both to broker

a peace between russia and ukraine. but as we all know, the conflict is not really about between russia and ukraine. is a proxy world wage by fighting and ministration against russia now to washington and have a change of presidency. and donald trump, of all people have demonstrated that he was actually deliver on his campaign promise, which is to end the war. and he made the call to put and he made the call to zalinski. this is huge. china wood. uh, more than welcome to be of to host this uh uh, piece deal just like they have down between saudi and you wrong piece deal. um, i think this is huge that i, i could see china totally be the honest piece broke right here. according to this journal report, chinese official has proposed hosting the meeting between the 2 presidents, but without zalinski is involvement. um, do you think that's likely that badging would propose not having you create a volt?

i mean, since a deal is down between the president of the united states that the president of russia, as we have seen through one hour and a half only talk between president booting and president trump, the president trump made sure the form is the legs of his decision, i mean, we all know zalinski is not the one that's leading the product leading the prosecution of war here it's, it's washington jazz traditionally provided the following at the weapons. and if trump wants to stop the war and the war can be stopped, it's not really up to some lensky at this point. can you speculate for us, what kind of reaction you would expect from the russian and us leaders if this chinese proposal is in fact a real? because of course, we've seen russia move closer to china over the last 3 years since the start of this conflict. and we well know, trump had you started this for a trade war with, with russian is last administration. how do you come back to the,

to leaders to respond? but if the report are to and i be pregnant, put in will be on fairly ground. if he were to meet with trump in beijing and president trump himself here, i'll have more that was expressed willingness to work with president. she's, you've been, they have also had a long hour saw and i can see president trump can position himself as a peacemaker. you know, let's remember president trump was willing to make peace and meet with can you? and i can totally see he goes to beijing and, and, and have another, you know, mix and to try to moment except this time making peace with russia. yeah, i remember how the west was up at the heart, was about that meeting to between trumping and kim duncan, the girl at the same time we have the pentagon, the chief declaring that china is a us priority. i wanna play a clip from p, accessed about this 1st. we are also here today to directly and on and be us lee

express that start strategic realities. prevent united states of america from being primarily focused on the security of your the us is prioritizing deterring more with china and the pacific. recognizing the reality of scarcity, and making the resourcing trade off to ensure deterrence does not fail. deterrence cannot fail for all of our 6. as united states prioritizes its attention to these threats, european allies must lead from the front crow given what we heard there from the hugs. that's what risk the you see for a confrontation in the pacific ocean and south south china sea between the 2 superpowers was this is actually united states really nice and we all can hear you can no longer wage a to follow the war again. russia in europe,

and that is china is in this western pacific. as for the prospect of calls like i personally, i think it's minimal because the presence present trauma has his hands full here. he wants to annex greenland canada and possibly sent troops to mexico and, and he's going to let the terrorist against canada, mexico. i may be use of there's, there's a lot president trump wants to a cost lot. he has on his plate, if he wants to accomplish implicitly even taking over the panama canal. so you know, the weather. how urgent is that conflict with china? i, i think it's at the back of the queue right now. yeah, yes. so in case the panama canal, and then greenland, 1st, i guess our to contributor carl john. carl, thank you. the 28th pedestrians including children, are a part of late injured in a car. ramming incident on the streets of munich as the city prepares to host a major german security conference set to begin on friday. the attack happened

during the verity trade union strike over an ongoing wage disagree. the law enforcement are at the cnn, said the driver has been secured. drivers reported to be a 24 year old asked in mat and security conference is where the us vice president cheney vance environment as well as the are expected to attend local officials time . there is no connection between the incidents and the upcoming meeting. we had noted, of course, we will continue with a correspondingly strong police presence everywhere. now, with regard to the security conference and keep the situation under control, we do not know at the moment and do not assume that there is any connection with the security conference when what the motivation of this ask in perpetrator, of course, still needs to be explored in more detail on the cube has slapped the countries former president, fyodor pershing, po, and a number of major ukranian business men with personal sanctions. farmers, zalinski has accused them of destroying the countries national security. those on

the list are banned from leaving the country and their assets have been frozen. or shank always called the trees and allegations he's facing a publication. and the former president, why do crying for 5 years following the western back to might on 2 and 2014, his party is now closely trailing zelinski and recent opinion polls. as par single, openly criticizes his successor, the sanctions were imposed shortly after the white house urged key of to hold elections last year. no, i don't think so as long as he's there, but you know, at some point you're gonna have to have elections to. you're gonna have to have an election. meanwhile, ukrainian parliament has descended into chaos. kit or pershing coast party members are blocking their colleagues from the tribune and peace from the european solidarity party also brought posters, which read no 2 political repressions from or ukrainian diplomat. andre intelligent goes, says pershing to has just fallen into his own trap. as i say 1st shades,

the 1st of all of our 6 is only a dictatorship worksheet. another meeting brain after the 2014, if you're going to get the sort of opponent. wow, he has installed the top political opponents to a slide about. people get in science and they need freight. i pushed the section by the last few reviews and he, he was fine about all the stuff for years and years. and that was flying into the tv and into the section. that's a lot of things. he got his is on track my car, my decision, but at the same time of i believe this is all a little for k. from our certain point of view. they're trying it closer to is going to get it is it really is raised by just because people in the pray for somebody who's the time by the receipt. so this might be a problem. it's okay to get fortunately because where you're back on track with as

easy as it is right now. it's always the reason i was trying to touch on what this property on the ground right at all. you'll have to basically go under what are the 12th and russia is going to be on the me and basis to run for his life. because he has no other choice. he will not, i will put political, a future a great and the jeffrey as to what he has done regarding on the, the go stations with the united states and russia. the situation crane will change dramatically. and you credit will go into the sphere, russia back again. and these elections that are going to happen. the rain today will not make any difference. it just, there's going to be a more more legit government on how to hungry or budapest is commemorating the 80th anniversary of its liberation from nazi occupation. the annual events, features are reflecting ceremony out of sylvia era memorial, attended by local officials, as well as representatives from the russian by the russian. and because like

embassies, moscow's envoy, the hungry you have gained set a slab of took part in the event of paying his respects. but this comes as the russian embassy race concerns over a rise in vandalism, against soviet monuments and hungry senior research fellow at the global policy institute. george, send me while i suspect there are bonds continuing. leadership is largely responsible for their preservation with the, the governments of visual orb. i'm have taken a very mature and realistic view of hungary as role in the world and rushes role as well. and that needs to hunger is advantage not to continually re good youth age. all of the grievances against the russians, particularly over the higher communist period from uh, 1947th route to 1989 which many in the eastern europe in the baltic states. and in poland to constantly rehashing that will the grievances about the communism hungry

is elected to put that behind it and to cultivate good relations with rostrum. and it's an ongoing thing, particularly in um, in certain states and which is in eastern europe, the baltics. and so on, and so i think that's probably what is a constant. it does, it doesn't change anything, it's, it's of a feeling of resentment, hatred towards the russians and a desire. this isn't, this is explicit and a desire to nato, into and explicitly, and to russian, or the entity militarism hyams dedicated to a fighting a war against russia, destroying the russian government and ultimately of breaking off bruship the indian prime minister to render. a modi has arrived in washington for a 2 day visit, and this 1st meeting was donald trump, since the president's and i'll give ration a shortly after he landed,

the newly confirmed us national intelligence director hosted the indian leader for tox. the senate approved to tulsa gabbert just hours before the meeting. she is a practicing hindus long, been promoting closer ties between washington and new delhi. of those who oppose my nomination imply that i am loyal to something or someone other than god. my own conscience. and the constitution of the united states. accusing me of being trumps puppet hooton's puppet a sides puppet grooves, puppet modi's puppet. not recognizing the absurdity of simultaneously being the puppet of 5 different puppet masters. the fact is what truly unsettled my political opponents is. i refuse to be their puppet. lawmakers passed or nomination by 52 votes to 48 on wednesday with just one republican, imposing to move the scabbard is known for being

a 1st critic of the very intelligence community. she will now lead local journalists. kellum often has more a chelsea. gabbert is a former us soldier. she has served in the us military on top of that, she's been presidential candidate. donald trump's decision to select tulsa galbraith provoked a huge amount of outcry from his critics, because it tells gabbert as long diverge from what the intelligence community says . and she has long criticize the actions of the united states around the world. she is a non intervention essentially arguing that the united states should focus on its own affairs and stop meddling and countries across the planet and her, assuming the role of intelligence directors certainly raised some eyebrows and some criticism from those who defend the us, political and military establishment, let's review just some of what tulsa gabbert has said over the years about us on the policy and the intelligence community back in 2020,

when she was running for the presidency and the democratic parties. presidential primary. here's what she had to say about what was then her own party and the serious problems about its internal life and how it is managed that our democratic party unfortunately, is not the party that is of by and for the people. it's a part of it is a party that has been and continues to be influenced by the foreign policy establishment in washington represented by hillary clinton and others foreign policy by the military, industrial complex and other greedy, corporate interest. tulsa gabbert has raised concerns about the war and ukraine, and how much money the american tax payers are spending on it. saying that this is a war that never would have happened. if roches, legitimate security concerns had been respected. she's also called out the cranium liter. zalinski for his control over the media and suppression of opposition parties. furthermore,

she raised the alarm about the bio labs and ukraine and the potential jane. there are 2 global health security democrats. republicans, the main stream media, the washington elite, essentially in the pocket of the military industrial complex. and rather than looking out for what's in the best interest of the american people, our national security, our country, they see dollar science when they look at ukraine, there are $25.00 to $30.00 us funded bio labs in ukraine. according to the us government. these bio labs are conducting research on dangers pathogens. ukraine is in an active or zone with widespread bombing, or tillery in showing. and these facilities, even in the best of circumstances, could easily be compromised and released these deadly pathogens. now light cove with these pathogens, no no borders. when she ran for president in 2020, she very much positioned herself as

a critic of the u. s. wars and iraq and syria. and here is what she had to say in an interview with r t. why is it such a difficult position to think and say that we said stop, army stream is stream service? it's really not a difficult position, nor should it be. i think every american would be a surprise to know that for years our government has been providing both direct and indirect support. to these are militant groups who are working directly with or, or even under the command of terrace groups. like all tied to an ice is all in their or their effort and fights over throw the syrian government. and she hasn't stopped criticizing the washington establishment and its policies of what she refers to as the forever war. these were her very words in her confirmation. hearing with the senate intelligence committee, when, as a member of congress, i learned about president obama's dual programs that he had begun

really to over throw the regime of syria and being willing to through the c. i a is a timber sycamore program that has now been made public of working with an army and equipping all kinda in an effort to overthrow that regime starting at another regime change or in the middle east. today we have and is list extremist who is now in charge of syria, as i said, who danced on the streets to celebrate the $911.00 attack who ruled over it live with an is the most extremist governance. and who has already begun to persecute and kill and arrests, religious minorities, lake christians, in syria, tulsa gabby's job as director of national intelligence will be to provide president trump with a daily briefing, showing him what's going on in the world. and because tells in gabbert is someone who has a very different understanding of world events than us mainstream media. this is

leading many to be helpful that perhaps u. s. foreign policy could shift. however, it tells the gabrey certainly has harsh critics. the fact that she was confirmed with a close votes as many wondering what could come next for the pentagon, for the intelligence community and for the united states and its dealings around the world is there help for a new day of non intervention is i'm and peace failed my new york now former head of in our governmental affairs for the us trade representative agency. steve, gil told us, the former democratic congress, women's position on american a dekalb, has proven to be correct as well, both for her and for many of us who've been been, you know, screaming that we need to look at the reality of what's happening on the battlefield. look at the reality of, of, of what you brain has done to their own people who have done to the folks in, in those on best region for the last decade. those of us who were saying those

things like tulsa, like me, and others, were streamed for being russian spies and russian advocates in and in the pockets of food. and now the truth is coming out to, you know, again you've got to exist, you've got to the opposite western europe saying, yeah, that's all true. again, one of those great conspiracy theories that i've been proven right in the afternoon as i get a lot of people. oh, apologies to her. she's nothing given, you know, when the new york times the washington post, cnn that, you know, with the, the best of headlines done the years. in fact, to the extent that they're saying that she could be a threat at to, to the us going forward. now that she has national at security, is she going to be under like more scrutiny than we've ever seen before? i think unfortunately for those critics, she represents the trump world view, the heads of the world view and the world view that the trumpet administration is

bringing in. so while she was at odds with was defied and then his team were doing which was failed. international policy on every side, whether it was that disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan with a, we're learning more about the, the funds that were paid to 100, to obtain the benefits from the vital administration. every thing we're learning about the failed international policies and the by the administration are now being swept aside of this new truck border. and i think again, there may be critics, but the world view is going to overtake the criticism, particularly is reality becomes more apparent, or just like in the middle east look and see hostages being released. look at these are the people like photo and russia being released at the best going got being released to russia. truck is making progress that people thought was, was impossible. i'll be back with westport news right here on our to international one half an hour. i'll see you then by the.
