[000:00:00;00] the, the breaking news, this our, the russian foreign minister and his us culture parts have spoken via phone. washington's request says loving, there is a landscape human this out, the ongoing dialogue between the 2 major powers. if the dialogue will be in such plights, mental wished all demonstrated united states to rational project. yes. so we're not very happy with it. to be honest, but this is $512.00 about saying figure also pushes for a european army to be created saying those troops can then be deployed in ukraine. i really believe that time has come on portions of your smart speak,

regents. alec helped a t f turn started on american proposal, promising continued aides flow, and exchange for ukraine's natural resources to be ship stateside. such a team is increasingly being pushed by top us officials. i think that is when, when, as the american people have a stake in the recovery of ukrainian economy poses conflicts and we will get to the other side of this conflict. then the 3 us full share in the benefits the broadcasting from our international use center in russia's capital city. welcome to r t. good up your company. kick off with breaking news. the russian foreign minister on his us contract part have spoken via phone. most coolest foreign ministry has stated, i think the talks took place at washington's initiative. ortiz unless to see if

loved to talk me through the latest. you know, the high profile cool out of the initiative of the american side as well what's and what's interesting and that's according to the russian foreign ministry. of course, a lot of things were discussed and i think we have to go through a few of them. both both parties reassigned. they're renting us for walk on restoring mutually respectful dialogue as well as agreed on keeping regular contacts. and including preparing a meeting between donald trump provided map who to they've also read to maintain a channel of communication to results, problems and relation between the 2 countries. and what's important ahead to mention as well that a lot girlfriend really actually exchange news on ways to put an end to line started biopharma back in 2016 on the title of conditions for russian diplomatic missions, functioning in the us both parties and say re offense that commitment to corporate

on topical issues, international issues including ukraine, the conflict in the middle east as well. love roof and reveal actually will say, consensus that regina watts, to get that to restore mutually respectful into state dialogue. that was set by the 2 countries need us, trump and putin. and they've also agreed to keep a regular context as well. yes. so much involved there is there, like the embassies could be starting to get bigger again, reopen help. a lot of people in each country just on the issue a piece talks, then that also seems to be building momentum, doesn't it, with dates and locations, not preparing to be finalized. exactly, well, you know, there are many reports in this, and the latest one we've had is from bloom bug that the contacts groups all set to meet in saudi arabia next week. but most of the housing consensus yet, uh savanski said actually, well, he put his $0.02 in here as well. and he said that he was unaware of the open

invitation and actually took issue. the keys is being side law. and i, you know, what's important to mention here is to negotiate in teams and reportedly and again, according to playing bug us special envoy to ukraine cheese kellogg is not on the list. and that raises questions of course. and on that list is actually a reportedly, again, is steve, which calls trump's middle east of envoy who actually negotiated a deal to bring america's monk. so go back to the country earlier this week. and then of course, we can see the t if may not have an equal foot footing in this as well, because actually trump has openly spoken about to himself. um, interesting question. i think they have to make peace, that people are being killed and i think they have to make peace. your i showed that was not

a good way to go into and i think they have to make peace. that's what i think last, you know, 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 it on the laskey housing 5 to put his $0.02 in all of this, saying that he's not happy about the polite nature of this dialogue between most good and washington, unless, if the dialect will be in such a large mental, which now demonstrates united states to russia. i think, yes. so we are not very happy with it. be honest, but this is, this is live. it's actually, i wanted to see this kind of reaction from zalesky to the unfolding relations between most skirt and washington. because from what we've heard on multiple occasions. lensky himself, he was actually opening fruit and engaged in named, quoting a guess, fly them f, pete. and you might remember those moments as well,

but overall from what we see now, the relations between russia and a, the usps of someone in prison. but of course, we'll have to wait to say, let's speak to a retired us army lieutenant colonel of international security consulting on this earl rouse, musing. you're most welcome, sir. another significant coal on particularly so. i suggest, given a high level must go, washington summit was agreed during it. according to the russian foreign ministry. are you surprised at all? overhead foss tie is, are being re established. um, it's uh, perhaps a little surprised, but then a lot in some ways not. i mean, trump is a took initiative right away. yes. to promise 24 hours. but i think we all knew that was not feasible. even a 100 dave's that the, the general kellogg it's in the state. it's probably not feasible. but um, but we're making some see some very,

very good moves in it and i think guess the receipt is moving in other things within the government. it's not surprising that this is being flushed and it's a high priority. i believe he really wants to end the kill killing, i think and, and i think it's it and you've got to and he looked see he visited the tim and north korea last time. he was president our believes and talking to everybody, those adversaries and allied. so what, so this is a, and i think he realizes, and he knows that russia isn't working country, regardless of who says was, it's an important country that needs to, you need to have a dialogue. you may not agree with everything, but you need to have a dialogue with them and expertise, taking those steps to, to, to, to kind of rebuild the, it's gonna take some time. they're gonna have to do some work around. but, but to rebuild at least the dialogue theory to take time to build trust but, but that initial part, you have to have

a dialogue. they don't take that farm to things are gathering speed. the bloomberg is reporting that's a lot of you're putting in donald trump, maybe set to meet in saudi arabia as early as the end of this month. that's not very long away. do you think it's a real possibility? yes, i do. i think uh, i think they want to get this, they want to resolve the conflict. i think they want to step re establish relations . both of them do and i think uh, yeah, so they're in the same place in saudi arabia if they're going to be there. so i really think that is a possibility that that occurring and it seems to be moving very quickly to, to make sure it does to us. i still have the certainly momentum building in the sewing of ties. but what's your sense of what happens if, if talk stall or breath done? well, we see renewed sanctions except for all of the, by the administration or is, is trump truly serious about rebuilding the us russia relationship?

i think is serious, but there's a lot of uh, there's a lot of challenges in this, in the region. remember, we've got a lot of entities with in the us that are against this primarily of the democratic side. but also on the republican side, you've got the, i've always felt that to you, you've got the premiums that are no matter what. most cases they are against us, not the people i would say, but the higher key within the government. and that's why i also believe the elections are needed to, to bring a fresh government into negotiate. and also the europeans are not too happy with the people. so they were basically directed to, you know, both the sector heck stuff as well as the vice president advanced gauge. we're got statements the same in minutes, but we've got pushed back from the from senior leadership within the you and um, so that's another political hurdle that,

that the trump's going to have to deal with based on those are going to be challenges. but i, i think he can get it done and i think he did not run it through, but it's, it's going to be, um they are some, they're gonna try it, try to throw whatever burbles there isn't a way as well as a deep state that still exist in here, but there's government agencies are being cleaned up quite rapidly. as always. thank you so much for your time. on analysis is appreciated. retired us army, lieutenant colonel on international a security consulting rasmussen. thank you. thank you. donald trump's direct talks with a lot of mere putting on ukraine have stirred off behind the fall of european bureaucrats. as we just heard. and much of that panic is concentrated that the munich security conference, which has ended its 2nd day, the fast approaching prospect. the peace seems to upset a lot of years, lensky and germany, where he encouraged europe to create its own army,

and then send those troops to ukraine. sort of has to become self sufficient, united by commerce, france, ukrainian, and european. it's not to us. then we'll stop them. i really, i really believe the time has come. the forces of europe must be created. it's a really interesting cool. you, clay, not a member of the european union. and yet you saying essentially europe needs its own on me. i mean, this is something we've heard before from the european need is present back on the fonts, particularly cold for this over the last few years. but of course in europe, this is an incredibly contentious issue. and in fact, many does the world see you repeat in on the tool, including germany's own talents, left off shots. he says it's a big fact. no to clean now has nearly 1000000 soldiers and the weapons. if

you count altogether that are relevant for the better future that they will, eclipse park would be better, but they are really eclipse by a bus them, munitions and all the, all the kind. and because of this, so it's absolutely clear that the post law ukraine, which has a very strong army well, however there, all those in europe who will be likely to green will do this idea of having a european oh, i mean, this includes the polish for administer who's essentially said the europe in troops will be needed to be sent to you crate. and he didn't say nato troops. he said, europe in troops. when president trump says that as part of a deal, they will have to be repeating troops. well, will have to be asked to, to supply them. so, sooner or later we'll have to be involved. this begs

a huge question. does europe have the ability to do something like that? we know for decades and decades that was massive and the spending when it came to defense budgets. in fact, from during his last presidency, he famously came to europe and said, hey guys, you need to start spending more in nature in terms of defend spending. or we're not going to be the ones to protect you any more. so yes, we've seen an increase in defense funding by european countries in the last 2 years, but that is not enough to make up those decades of under spending. and in addition to that, over the last few years, you think about the amount of industry hardware that is being sent to you create the as the listed, the ability, if you are paying countries for essentially defend themselves. and they're shoot studies talking about how essentially the cupboards of fat in europe as a result of what's being sent to you quite. and so is it likely that you can do this? i think many people would say, probably not when it comes to charlotte to piece talks,

but from put in call and everything else that's come since they're there has, in my sense, being an important of optimism surrounding it. but it appears not everyone is willing to get run the table. it was really interesting news. we've heard us lensky saying at the munich security conference, but he will only speak to press a preach, and he will speak to any to the else. it's not the russian delegation, it will only be present preaching. well, that is a massive 180 degree to and from what we've heard over the last few years where he's point blank, refused to speak to the russian prices. in fact, outlawing tulips with russia. uh, is he going to be able to even get up to a negotiating tables to really interesting to see where he's now coming for me? it feels as if every day, perhaps, even every hour we get in a very different sense. if wesley's lensky is coming from and probably a lot to that is to do with the right panic that we have seen from him. i since these a flurry of announcements have been coming from the trunk administration. what's

also really interesting is here with the media security conference, he's also been trying to put the division between the us and europe, essentially go over looking at usaa leaving us out of this europe. let's do it together because he was point blank. say, you know, when present from cools me about this possible negotiation. he was sidelining not just few crane. he was side blinding. you were to had a most cool. we'll pull your part if we as europeans don't trust each other. a few days ago, president tom told them about he's going to station was booked and not the ones the to mention that the american needs your at the table put in was one on one, talks with america just like before the war when they met in switzerland and it looked like to call them up the walt snacks,

put in. we'll try to get the us president standing on the red square on main, on may, 9th this year. not as it respected later, but as a pro, in his own performance. so as the, let's see, they're essentially saying that pitching is going to be using trunk essentially a barrier net profit. but the us doesn't seem to give you much mccarrow about this . we've now heard from the us special envoy keith kellogg. this is the guy that is going to try and put together this end to the war in ukraine and he's 10, ron, he's gone yet. you're not going to be at the table in general. they should not even complain. devices can you can your show this audience the ukrainians will be at the table and europeans will be at the table. oh, are you just change the whole dynamic? pardon or victor, thanks for having us today. i appreciate the answer that last question, just you framed it? the answer is no. the answer to the earlier part of the questions. yes,

of course you can use are going to be at the table. interestingly, we have a goal these over chose about negotiations possible to in saudi arabia in the next few weeks. but at the same time, we've now had a statement coming up from the g 74 and municipal. they say they will read the looking at during up more sanctions to throw a gainst more scope if most go doesn't come to the negotiating table and do a deal. interestingly, bonus, 3 years of sanctions hating russia and russia seems to be of no much strong composition that it was back then. so the reality is, after 3 is the sanctions not having the desired outcome. what makes the g 7 think but, and this thing is going to change that right now. you know, according to the loved them are zalinski who was previously described by donald trump as the greatest salesman on earth. the absence of elections in his country can be explained by ukrainians themselves, not wanting a change of government parkway. and anyone who disagrees with caps,

that is all not come simply give up their citizenship. this is what's really worry important. i'm right it. you know, to speak about the lexus. if you want to bring us, don't want total in guns long because the freight because otherwise for the lose their military law we're law and our soldiers will come back home and put in the will occupied. all our 3rd 3 is not involved. you know, myself, it's about the future of all one country. it's a mode for today. really. the question is to survive. the question is to save ukraine, our independence, our people, our homes. and if somebody doesn't like they can choose and other citizenship if they want. that was a pretty, a presumption statement. it sounds that ask is to have when he said that all was

ukrainians are against the election. when he said that those who disagree can leave the country is a yes and another blaze and fly as those who wanted to leave have already left so many ukrainian. so i want to leave now, and i'm talking about that men have tried to leave, but failed. now some died when attempting to cross the crate in border illegally and others were forced for the mobilized into the army. receive so many videos on line where men in uniform would snatch off any males of this freeze or for public transportation, and forced them into the army as cannon fodder. now another video from ukraine appeared this saturday where a woman blew herself up along with a group of minutes. are you listening officers? while her reasons are unclear at this point, for most of us is the fact that valencia's ratings have hit rock bottom a very long time ago. and even donald from says that the presidential election in

ukraine should take place and then ski. however, his left lessons seems to have lost the sense of any type of reality in the even present to the american president, within the ultimate, from taking lessons and for the dialogue between its from them. fortune. and i saying this is, i mean, this is up to them, but they can discuss everything, the ones, but not about you being without us. it is why in d. c? that's why, especially in these case, i think it's a little bit dangerous. that's why i said, did we need to talk more with the president and to talk more with his people with his teams as the last here is the power and ukraine after his presidency expired and made it illegal for 81. and you great. including himself to hold any settlement negotiations with russia, apparently a this particular delusion extends to the leaders of other nations as well,

including the american presidents of all of this points. uh well no one had actually responded to zaleski directly. however, over the week we've seen a different rhetoric concerning ukraine from the united states, an offer was made for the country's rare earth minerals where donald trump said he wants at least half a trillion dollars worth of ukraine's natural resources. now, other sources suggest that the white house wants at least 50 percent of all that ukraine has to offer. the landscape says that's the agreement offered by the united states does not protect the interest of ukraine. so he did not approve it. you want some more details from the buyers of these countries, natural resources in particular, how the income will be distributed and how that income for buildings security guarantees. young adults be nice to me. i did not allow the ministers to sign the relevant agreement because it is not yet ready in my opinion,

to protect us and our interest and see it enough for me that it is very important to talk about in the estimates and ukraine's. and this should be written out legally and correctly with of us, and it is an investment property. and you can think about how to distribute the profits from it. and if all this is connected with security guarantees, i don't see this connection in the document. you want to, well, it's really hard to actually gauge what's on the events his mind these days. he's gone back and forth on many of his statements. and in terms of sending off ukraine, well, in this case is probably about savings face. and by the way, not in front of his own people, but for the masters who finance, he's deadly escapades over the years and now want their money back. take a listen to the secretary of the treasury of the united states. currently we are aligned with ukrainians on values, we're aligned with them on security and we want to become more align with them on economics. and i think that is when, when, as the american people have

a stake in the recovery of ukrainian economy, posters, conflict, and we will get to the other side of this conflict. then they, the us for sharing the benefits and by having us a partnership, capital and ingenuity. i think ukrainian economy, that the us involvement will act as an excel or, and, you know, just next door to ukraine is one of the great success stories. the of the past 30 years of poland, poland has had the 2nd highest economic growth in the world since that 1990 is after china. so why couldn't ukraine do that? and why shouldn't the american people share in that through rivers, through their energy and through their state owned enterprises. and we bring best practices in terms of privatization and terms of modernization pad from once calls and those key the best sales going on there as well. he certainly knows how to drive a bargain in this case,

it's selling off his home country to the highest bidder. 0 to the west initially, he has now certainly revealed his 1st self and 1st and foremost. so he's on people's friends, i think so. well, just more on ukraine's natural resources, then the country pools and mens potential as a major global supplier of critical role materials vital to the defense, tech and green energy sectors. the country holes, europe, largest titanium, lithium reserves, which have become the most sought after metals across the world. unless say, if the u. s. and t of sign the mineral agreement contracts, cut the mind to trinity in some dollars. when you're asian studies academic and commutative greg simons resolved. if you love them or zalinski is willing to sell anything to the trump administration. if it means he can hold on to power. but he's just desperate, he noises volume is rapidly running out. and i mean,

he is excellent, be nowhere to go. you some of the former, i mean a count reminding you, praying for too long because someone who gets them and this is just pure desperation. and i think he's just trying to buy a muslim a one time bought 10 zelinski, give them way to the americans to a piece the. and this is going to be a states enterprise is lost, a and a full was was lambs, but they have lives. so it's going to be a bias style of anything. i'll tell you in with to the americans, and specifically the drums and from inspection. well mister, so landscapes time in the spotlight, off the munich security conference was interesting. beyond his demands to 1st of all, during a cnn hosted interview, no ukrainian translator could be fund. and then when it was opened up to the

questions that conversation the request was met with, well, take a look for yourself to can i speak you right now? no. that's, that's, that's, that's. i think i have time for one kind of one question from the audience. maybe one or 2, somebody, but a question for the president apparently not me. well, that's as the person whose name was on everyone's lips wasn't even up the conference with western politicians seemingly wanting to bring up a lot of mir puts in. no matter the topic being discussed or whatnot. and a native nation and my view because he understands the consequences would be too severe event on. so we also will not accept any solution that leads to the coupling of american and european security. only one person would benefit from that president put $21314.00,

which includes the however much the europeans may try to pretend otherwise and deny reality are losing this con, at the end of the day, i think it not only challenges use their view of russia and them sell because of the european countries or their, their world view. but i think it also fundamentally challenges their identity because they've been so wrapped up in a mess. the antics supremacist ideology of western exceptionalism. it's a shock to the, to the core and the that they are losing the, to a country that they have continually the right it as, as a gas nature know it's, it's crushing their own world view and conception of who they are, that they're losing this conflict and they just can't get away from to their obsession with support. and as the singular representation i'm driving you go through with others where we leave and you stop for now. and another busy day, a big developments in the renewed russia,

us relationships keep across our website. and socialists for the very latest all knots. and i'll see you again say goodbye the, the climate global warming thoughts. so field warming has become a convenience gate code for, you know, all of the planets, problems you know, lived over there is a water resource shortage. they don't blame for water management, bad governance or extravagant use of water instead they blame climate change the of
