the the are headline story, this are a one a turn from the loving. here is a wednesday who said he will meet with law the mirror puts in no other russian for peace negotiations tops this by the ukrainian law for bidding talks with the president. and what i worry about is the threat from within the retreats of europe, from some of its most fundamental values value shared with the united states of america. mincing of words by new us, vice president geneva, southern unix security conference, as european officials are directly chest nice for targeting free speech and counseling elections. well, delegates, i've got major security forum we're still digesting this week's length. the phone conversation between the american of russian leaders leading europe and the link

this from like to be included in these thoughts on the parade. if you are the mission of the next 4 years and not only change the relationship between the us and other countries, but also the relationship between all countries, less not being deer caught in the headlights. and yet more big developments this friday, i'm 23 militant center, another major city, and then mineral rich east still put democratic republic of the coming of the slide from our international new center in moscow. this is our see welcome to the program. i need to know me a lot of years. litski has a nice he's prepared to meet with. a lot of them are put in, but only after he comes to an agreement with his main sponsors. the statement came on the sidelines up in munich, security conference. it will go to this decision,

so i will only be seeing one russians, and that is put in only after you have prepared a common plan with trump for putting to end the war. only in this case. under these conditions, there will be no other platforms with compromises and took this was the most do seems to be contradicting himself every time he opens his mouth. all that depends on the current script in his hand. and this for from any kind of reality, as we all heard, velez key just said that you'll only speak with codes in this same guy. it should and in, sorry degree earlier, making it illegal just be courtney, go see it with the russian president of the paragraphs of that degree, very from approval of the text of the address to nasal requirements for a multi level security system based on multi lateral and bilateral agreements strengthening of ukraine's defense capability by increasing the supply of minutes through technical assistance. and of course, recommendations of sanctions against russia. this is what's left. he said about

negotiating with foods in earlier. it was our state that is always offered russia to agree to co exist on equal, honest, decent in fair terms. obviously this is impossible with this russian president. he doesn't know what dignity and honesty are. therefore, we are ready for dialogue with russia, but with another russian president. while moscow has always been open to talks with ukraine about a peaceful settlements, but well considering all the realities on the ground after the start of this special military operation. at this point, however, zalinski is no longer of any interest to russia because, well, his presidential term ends its last year. the former act are observed tower and ukraine. and if he cancelled presidential elections in the country and to subsequently in the hands of democracy and ukraine was gone, let him are approved and knows, that's the end. it's off. so was the lensky, or at this point? absolutely. if you filed to go to most of us can,

you can negotiate with anyone. but zalinski is illegitimate. 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 doc, and it's, 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 if there is a desire to negotiate and find compromise solutions, let anyone go see it 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 be authorized by the ukrainian state to sign in these agreements. we will soon be a part offered lady to mon try has been the v go to well carried on the stick, if you will, for the crating people problem zaleski, and the officials off by his regime. now those words were publicly echoed,

not only by major leadership leadership but supplied by biden's administration as well. uh, we will be in need. so we will be a part of a european union. and now such promises were fetched to view crazy and people on a daily basis because it ask you has now changed his tune, my 1st phone call with the president biden. and my 1st question will we be made to? he said no, no. and i said, we will be wary, honest, united states that they never saw last in nato. they just spoke about it on the level of a leader of the country and the level of president. never eyesore this, but it doesn't mean that we come to change the spots we really have drunk. our mean we can really make prone getting natal everywhere. we don't have nato rails nature . we will make nature in ukraine class,

or donald trump scene took over the white house and made the leadership have also changed their tune and are acting like ukraine were never really promised anything . only 8 months ago, you had a somebody said washington dc. a 32 allies agreed and i know you know these words, but i'll read them to you. we will continue to support ukraine on it's a reversible call to cool euro atlantic integration, including nato membership. does nato still stands by those words fair in those as line? so it says that it to be part of the piece. you know, there's never been before and not even in that portion summit statements, they've been a, b, c. what would be done on your brain? that's in that these are to be natal things. there's not many things that part of, of these deals to be made. so, but it has never been promised to you right now. it's hard to pinpoint what exactly

needs so and ukraine will come up. what's next so far has been a story full of contradictions bordering on blayton, lies and manipulation. meanwhile, phil lensky continues to demand more money, more weapons and even threatens american soldiers. with this on the battlefield against the russian army. well, one of the key conditions b, u. s. outlined for ukraine is paying buckets debts by allowing access to the country is rare. earth metals in munich, vladimir zalinski fund, a creative way to justify washington's the month or millions. those 3 she is, we met with our american colleagues. we have had a lot of meetings and i am very happy about it. we had a good conversation with president from you, and we received an offer to invest and ukraine's critical minerals that was discussed extensively. and i said that we need to protect your brain and our resources. if we're speaking pragmatically and not just about the security of your, um, although i believe that the security of europe is 1st and foremost when we talk about

protecting our resources to keep so that they don't get caught in the hands of an occupying russia and their allies, if it is necessary to protect pulmonary holes in such a way to non heidi to, to are putting your and this guy to the teeth. yeah. you give them a bunch of 6 things, not a do of 6 things. you give them attack them. she gave them tanks because they, they will fight. remind may not didn't. they do great. okay. it just doesn't work out well. so let's arm this guy. let's do the minerals agreement. so we'll have our american business interest, who doesn't understand what's going on. if we sign dismentos or agreement pollutants screwed calls, trump will defend the deal. what we're talking about is the ones that deal with about the batteries with the, the ones that do the electric cars. so all of that is of great interest. these rare earth minerals, but 22 percent of those where it's minerals are now part of russian territory. from russian advancement. so what does that mean? and that's what donald trump, you know, being

a business man. he wants those where minerals, but does he want to do that at the expense of losing his friendship? that's trying to percolate again with russia. because russia controls 22 percent of that. um and zalinski knows that. so he's trying to put in a bar, you know, any kind of negotiating, you know, leverage that he can. because whenever you're trying to do piece right, you want leverage and zalinski doesn't have much. i think that's it. they definitely don't have any cash to give the us, right. i keep hearing it increasingly in my view, valid question being raised at flooding. there's a lensky thing, why aren't you more actively pursuing peace? but as you say, when you look into the details of it and the money that's been coming in to your credit of shutting off that, you know, that's ukraine is the hold it to us. let's say it directly. so if that stops on europe is not willing to do this. he knows he's in a hole here. he's no longer of any use to europe or the us as he and he's committed

crimes and some more crimes. so if, if you know, is the landscape probably trying to figure out an exit route, among other things, i don't really see him running for president again, i think he wouldn't be elected. obviously, there's tentative people he's, i mean he's basically sacrifice a generation of men for what to give rare earth minerals to the us, to give 22 percent of the land to, to russia. yeah, he's in a very bad position, tara read the e. u is undermining its own democratic values. that's the blunts admonition us vice president. judy balance kicked off with i think munich, security conference as a new trump team and for brussels. it means business when it comes to ending the ukraine calls like the threat that i worry the most about visa, the europe is not russia. it's not china, it's not any other external actor. and what i worry about is the threat from within

the retreats of europe, from some of its most fundamental values value shared with the united states of america style struck that of a former european commissioner went on television recently and sounded delighted that the romanian government had just an old and entire election. he warned that if things don't go to plan, the very same thing could happen in germany too. now these cavaliers statements are shocking to american ears may be valentine's day, but there is certainly no love in hearing me nick at the security conference and not says you heard that fiery speech from the us, vice president j. d font criticizing you are in many respects saying that because it was reeling back from its own fundamental values and basically saying that there is any sheriff in town. that's donald trump and things are going to go

a very different way to how these, you know, for 18 years. but the last full use, his speech was so critical that mendez, if you will just see, listen, i didn't know whether they should even close at the end. it was calling devon for good moments. and we've already been getting reaction from europe in need is to also, this is roy king out, particularly against the things that we've been hearing from, from between instruction regarding ukraine and not speakers just in the last few days. donald trump saying that he spoke directly with vladimir preaching of russia, and he said, to wash great country, we want to be friends with them again. he then spoke to a lot to me for landscape and laid out how things are positive. me going to to imagine ukraine and not as not music, the ease of many people here in europe, including the gym and the president who says that you must not be paralyzed for the slurry of a night. so is coming out from the other side of the atlantic,

but i'm on the to the right. ladies and gentlemen, of course, in that case, we are not just talking about the growth of european troops, also about the reduction of american troops or the modem. i talked about this with vice president advanced this morning and i told him, whenever you were planning to discuss it with us, the next 4 years cannot only change the relationship between the us and other countries. but also the relationship between all countries will the international community maybe take all of the damage? my answer is very simple, but i think it's right. that's up to us. we are subjects not objects of the international order. we must not let the flood of announcements paralyze us. we must not freeze out of fear or as they say in english, let's not be deer caught in the headlights alone. well, he's not the only person who's unhappy just take you listen to this, a hell of ukraine, more than we can europe. but it was also re, comes the united states, it would intensify, which challenges in the,

in the pacific. and switching all shared interest. well, does one do you what we've also seen the exhilarating ski arriving here. we mean the key may have come cap in hand, but it looks like i had of his meeting with j. d von cus, vice president things on going exactly how he wanted. know she has heard was from the screen saying the last 3 days, what we've heard from the us secretary of defense, pete, to have with assess saying that basically you create needs to look at the reality on the grounds. and essentially, there will be no going back to the board as free at 2014, and also the ukraine should be looking to be a member of nato in the future of resumes the lensky rejecting all of that. but looking incredibly tired, incredibly dejected at the press conference she gave a, well, we also been hearing from the gym in shawn, so all of shows all. so talking about the concessions he has the by what's

happening in ukraine and whether essentially america is going to try and uh, and to, with negotiations directly with russia as it is basically pushing not just ukraine, but the europeans, the sidelines in may. what they see to the table, they say hi to him, this is do we need a reform of the debt break in order to invest in our security and defense. secondly, the bonus tag should make a decision as soon as possible, according to which the war in ukraine and its serious consequences for the security of germany and europe are to be classified as an emergency. well, unimportant pulling to because we had heard from donald trump that they was going to be a very high profile meeting here at the may next security as can a conflict between the usa, between russia and potentially ukraine. you know, ukraine said it wasn't going to turn up at the table, but it also seems that russia hasn't been invited. we've been hearing from the foreign ministry spokesperson,

who says that brush awesome and invite these things 2022 because that was a political decision taking. so it's unclear, walters any top of going to start taking place at ease, terry, meaning well, some pretty leading remarks for him that aging as well. and you next with the conferences trim and seemingly attempting to embark his china for buying russian gas. let's take a look at the exchange with the chinese foreign minister today, and resar has become what john mccain. uh, once the site is here at the munich secuity conference, china gas station, i would add um, it's a gas station with, with an army. do you see a possibility now that there is more pressure and find me more pressure to finish this or that form from your end to? so let me show you how noun dining quad china and russia are 2 neighbors with a long border line based on our mutual trust. we have built a comprehensive,

strategic partnership from so about china, ending gas purchases from russia. i'd like to ask this if china does not buy gas from russia, what country will be able to provide then with so much gas as to meet the needs of chinese people. it's not possible, and it's not safe because you know, some countries tend to politicize economic and trade issues and treat them as a tool to suppress china all along. we have advocated that all disputes and disagreements should be settled through dialogue. however, if the us is not willing, if it is bent on suppressing and containing china, then we have no choice but to play along to the end. we will resolutely uphold china sovereignty national dignity and are legitimate development rights. and we will resolutely respond to the unilateral bullying practices of the us. will r t come give you to carla just highlighted that europe also benefits from russia's energy supplies to china, receiving a via 3rd party is just stating the facts,

china and brush. i had a strategic partnership law for a long time now. and when president she didn't seem visited. moss copied specifically said the relationship between china, china, russia is a no limit strategic partnership. and it's always, it's, it's ridiculous for europe to expect china to stop having our normal tre relationship with rochester malware. but in a very interesting time, because trump has specifically said, do you want to wrap up the war in ukraine? and this has throw a lot of your pin the heaters into a tailspin because they, they don't know what to do. now for 4 years. they have followed the washington line on ukraine and in regards to their relationship to russia. and now trump is saying, you know what, it was a mistake, the green worries and mistake we should make peace. and so i think it's still very

hard for a lot of european leader to make that adjustment. now re, uh, has supported the idea of a potential meeting between donald trump and vladimir putin on saturday soil as follows. wedding states phone conversation between the leaders with the american president floating, the idea of in person talks with his counterpart of the kingdom of saudi arabia. commends the phone call that took place between president donald trump and president vladimir putin on the 12th of february, 2025. and the announcement regarding the possibility of holding a summit, attended by their excellent, sees the 2 presidents in the kingdom of saudi arabia. the kingdom expresses its welcome to hosting the summit in saudi arabia and reaffirms its ongoing efforts to achieve lasting peace between russia and ukraine, which began with the outbreak of the ukrainian crisis. well that's pro $5.00 to the so the coastal city of jazz, where we can talk to

a political level as the an academic at pfizer university college bar tar figure. most welcome sir, with re ad saying it would be keen to hosted trump put in summit. what role could saw the mediation play in reaching a potential piece of green? so, the idea uh is uh free and a good friend for 5 days. and also creating a few things. so it is in a position to provide me just a space, but also mediation since uh, but as well, how about been somebody needs a good friend up all. and he has the trust of uh, both parties. uh he could be uh, the mediator. you could join in and bring together uh with the, the 2 about these throwing ideas. uh, we have experience in this kind of thing. so i need to know the 1st time we do it.

uh, in the last couple of years. so it'd be, it'd be also me the did the lease of hostages, associate prisoners exchange of prisoners in between america and russia and even oak ukraine. uh so uh, i think we are in a very good position to help uh to buy these or maybe later 3 bodies. uh, discussions of these issues. uh, do we also had uh uh, some experience, some uh, data and information since we hosted uh, uh, conference before and did the, uh, the guy thing, the issues on 4 to 3 countries joined in, uh, so all the files are there. all the information on available until probably we can and hopefully we would need to uh,

bring i mean to the store and what it also signifies something else, given the donald trump and loving their boots and have reacted favorably to meeting inside of a. is it perhaps a sign that global power dynamics are, are shifting away from, from brussels, for instance. yeah, because europe was part of, of the problem. uh. you are uh, sided to obtain nighted state uh, new green. uh we didn't, we, we skipped our, uh, uh, positive uh, new york, new technology. and we didn't join the sanctions campaign or didn't listen to america when they ask us to dissolve the big plus and then take, uh, i'm sure out. uh so uh we out in this position where

everybody can sit and it can trust us to, to be a, he's free. we are not part of the property. we can only be part of the solution. i'm interested to, to hear your thoughts on developments over the last 48 hours or so because things have moved at a rapid pace. what's your view on trump? and this is a necessary disruptor busting through the state you made forcing change, or a deal may occur 1st and foremost with more than an eye on ukraine's critical, rare earth minerals a little of both or more one than the other. i hate this both of them. i mean, they kept their spins the once i reached in on, on the investment american made by supporting ukraine and there are a lot of huge that that has to be paid. and they've been out there that have

been out of service is one way of being back those, those states. and also he wanted to and this was an every war. so we can go back to business to investment, to building to the working together for a better war. i think this is the general idea of whether he can do it or not. this is another story, but he is working on this uh uh, formula. and uh, if we all work on the same uh formula, i probably can shift uh, the beach we need in this ward after all this was everywhere. and it's time for us to focus on, on building our countries and developing our countries on people. just the final thoughts on what we heard, not so long ago in your neck,

and somebody is loving your zalinski as always quite composite of saying that more work is needed to quote, stop putting before and he talks happen. it appears he wants to perfect time for negotiations, but it's not going to ever exist. i'm, as that's happening more and more people are dying on the bottom of the field. so is it not in his, in for us to get this going as soon as possible? because there does appear to be a hesitation in kias. i think there's a tension because a, my suspicion that the trump uh woodside, with russia regarding some parts of your green that will show i'm going to control on the, for the exam and most going back to be 4 to 2014 a, b. i don't think that he, i agree with this is happy with this because he was promised by then something else

was promised everything he lost. he was promised to be about to, of need to part of the european union and know all that would be lost with the new proposal. so he wants to see he wants to be on the table. they want to de la until he understands what's at stake and what he's gonna lose. and what, what are the options if he says no, what wouldn't happen? would they not to states stop supporting him. so he does, he have an option on this deed statement. that's maybe what he's looking for. okay, the views of the circulated bar tar fee politic level is um professor. now if i sell the university live from jetta. thank you sir. i swear to compare it. all right, to another big story developing this friday in central africa,

that's our focus knob and surgeons from the m 23 militant group, i've reported the capture. the major airport in the democratic republic of chicago's mineral rich east are to correspond to new. if you can get, can tell us more. what has been happening is that the entering the city fights has, which have already captured gone. my eastern does see no solution to advance on the provincial capital of the couple in south keys, which happens to be the region, the 2nd largest city in east off the do you have seen the group recently claimed in a post on x that to the situation in the region is worsening sites and ongoing kennings and routines as well. now to spikes declaring a sci fi a just a few days ago to prove, continue with have the standing along the front lines of raising concerns off a broad war. the company's government, however, has refused to engage directly with the enter. the city fight is assisting that in the talks must include as the um, in

a product peace process. they all serious allegations at this moment offer one to military support for the him to the city, which raises questions about the nature of international involvement and the regional dynamics of play. according to these reports, one, the military forces may just have cross the border, enabling them to the city to gain ground and intensifies operations. for now, it remains to be seen with comparable for, i'm the, the m 23 control completely. now the international community has often been criticized, so it's a slow reaction to the developing crisis. was in the d r c. well, the have been if it's to broke a piece, add, provide humanitarian aid. the issues that to remain law should be an interest in this whole conflict. and we do know that this current escalation that we've all seen comes off to the east african community. and besides, an applicant development community need is directed the defense chiefs from both

these blocks to meet within 5 days to assist in enforcing and immediate and unconditional. seized by a but it seems like those if it's over the past 3 k to have fallen on disk. yes. even though he may be too ready to tell way to see whether the outcome from the african union today on the conflict will change anything. and right now, with rising concerns, a few minutes heavy and pry sees and on rebellions the out of sees for each i had a missed the stand off between of governments available goes as far as when it's you've got involvement as well. it's not just military metrics of government strategies on the table. it's also the lives, most importantly on the count to the citizens. quote, in this turmoil of the it's another davis day to conflict. yeah. story. we will be closely following at from that side,

east africa. okay. now this carbon eel drop is looking on this the mid stage of february. i'll be back at the top of your office. do hope you can keep the company, [000:00:00;00] the fellow, and then take a yes, it doesn't sound well. how would i type that down and see what pad said? well, 9 phone, go ahead and 9 phone comes on and go to it. so bobby, just being sunday saving though some of the way well months have been a change since you've been to all that don't care. yes, i'm sorry to interrupt you being the total attention. well miss, i almost say that's all my 2 thoughts which on team $1.90,
