the, the across the headlines or what off the international as rush. it was for a minute. that is us count of on hold a telephone call. so when security is coming to terms that a distinctly different future lies i had with america looking for peace, sun talking to months, if the data will be in such a large manner, which now demonstrate united states to russia. yes. so we're not very happy with it. to be honest, but this is, this is live the term and is your same question. the other day is of washington's old, also for, for key of seem to be over a strong, including told ukraine's hope for nathan membership is done. while the us says it's not realistic from ukraine to consider taking back russian territory. returning to

ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering as europe and lead is remaining panic mode. scrambling to be included in the peace pulse on ukraine, as a representative from the company ministration says to european union, and it will not be stating that the tech can you can. you will show this audience that the ukrainians will be at the table. and europeans will be at the table. the answer that last question, just you framed it? the answer is no. i, the 2nd round of voting is announcing the republic of a cause you of the non to the 500 executed a majority of the vote in the presidential. the it is the traditional sunday program here, and i'll see international where we run down the biggest stores off the weekend off

right now. top story for you this hour here on out to you. the lines of communication are wide, open, rushes, farm and associate level or office spoken with his american counterpart, marco rubio over the phone and most ago says washington, initiated those talks and all of them i called a, you know, neil go the next details with a correspondence and especially a lot of, you know, the high profile cool at 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 and faith both parties reassigned their readiness to walk on, restoring mutually respectful dialogue as well as agreed on keeping regular contacts. including preparing a meeting between donald trump applied to map who to they've also agreed to maintain a channel of communication to resolve problems and relations between the 2 countries . i'm what's important here to mention as well that a lab, ralph, and really actually exchange news on ways to put an end to his line. started

biopharma back in 2016 on the title of conditions for russian diplomatic missions, functioning in the us based policies will say re offense, that commitment to corporate on topical issues, international issues including ukraine, the contract in the middle east as well. love and reveal actually will say, confirms that readiness to work together to restore mutually respectful into state dialogues that will set by the 2 countries. me does trump and putin. and they've also agreed to keep a regular context as well. yes, so much involved there is there like 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 sense. 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 you, 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 key of is being side law. and i, you know, what's important to mention here is to negotiate in teams and reports as the and again, according to clean bugs, us special envoy to ukraine and keith 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 envoys who actually negotiated a deal to bring america's monk. so go back to the country earlier this week for the last key housing 5 to put his $0.02 in full of the saying that he's not happy about the polite nature of this dialogue between most kind of washington. this is if the

dialect will be in such a large mental wish. now that demonstrates united states to russia. i think yes. so we're 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 grand washington. because from what we've heard on multiple occasions, lensky himself, he was actually opening root and engaged in name, quoting a guess, vladimir putin. you might remember those moments as well, but overall from what we see now, the relations between russia and the us a somewhat increasing, but of course we'll have to wait and see all the level far. rubio from gold photo. donald trump's historic trap, it's not improved in on wednesday, an hour and a half long told by the way it really broke. the eyes sought the years of separate contact between the russian and american leadership. and from shred,

it still was off the woods of what he called a highly productive conversation letter issued comments to reporters on the ukraine conflict. echoing us dots given by his defense secretary, the likely will not go down. well then the secretary of defense is excellent. he made a statement today saying that he thinks is unlikely, or impractical. i think probably that's true, i think long before present a boat. and 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 that ukraine cannot 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 going to 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. 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's unlikely, but with all this diplomatic maneuver and coming out of washington these days so that he had quite a bit of incoming messages to balance negatively. moscow in washington, the same on sucking about with a p f will have an equal footing of the peace negotiations. 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 just to be to go to most of the skin, which 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 documents. this is a very serious issue that should guarantee security for ukraine and russia with a serious, long term historical perspective. a nice guess. so, so the phone call between jonathan food and does monica historic shift and u. s. foreign policy? i think it's an enormous development in the us is relationship, not only with russia, but with ukraine, and with all of the nato allies, many decades that the united states and other nato countries have wanted to include ukraine in the nato alliance. and this is the 1st moment a us president sitting us president has officially said that they are comfortable with ukraine not being part of the alliance. so we are seeing a concession, a conciliatory message towards peace and towards diplomacy, rather than the bellicose attitude of the former president biden. so i think it's a very historic moment. it's a really important moment for us,

russian by letter of relations saturday, being assigned to bill itself as an important partner, as a strategic partner in negotiations for peace. it could also paved the way for further negotiations in the broader region. and here, i mean the middle east, especially these are the guys that so i think it's an important development. and i think it's going to be an important venue to host these talks. so the fact that trump called put in as sitting president, even before he has communicated with the landscape, as many have noted today, is a huge development. and there's already calls, you know, for him to be in beach for there to be proceeding. but he's a trader, but in fact, trump is choosing here. diplomacy. he's said from the campaign trail. he's looking for a peaceful solution, a diplomatic solution to end this war. and as the whole time, so direct told was not improvement on ukraine of shaking the core of european politics. his vice president, judy voss was at the munich security conference i left everyone,

speech was off at taken to the podium from lashing out of the blocks pro boston's to slamming the loss of free speech to so many issues a raise the you clearly never saw it coming and i have a conference, lensky, and car here up to quickly create its own army, and then quickly send that on to ukraine. the group has to become self sufficient, united by commerce, france, ukrainian, and european. it's not to us then who will stop them hide really? i really believe the time has come. the forces of your must be created. it's a really interesting cool. you cray, not a member of the european union, and yet you saying essentially york needs its own all me. i mean this is something we've heard before from the european need is present back on the fonts, particularly cold weather. so, but the last few years um, but of course in europe, this is an incredibly contentious issue. and in fact, many does the world see europe in ami a tool, including germany's own talents,

left off shots. he says it's a big fat. no, to clean. now has nearly 1000000 soldiers on the weapons. if you count altogether that are relevant for the better future that they, while 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 are all those in europe who ought to be likely to green boulder this idea of having a european oh, i mean this includes the polish for administer, who is essentially said that europe in troops will be needed to be sent to you crate. and he didn't say nato troops. he said, european troops,

when president trump says that as part of a deal, they will have to be repealed and troops. well, will have to be asked to, to supply them. so, sooner or later will 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, there was a massive on 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 defense 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 few 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 of european countries for essentially defend themselves. and they're shoot studies talking about how essentially the cupboards all back 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 fox, the trumpeting call and everything else that's come since there, there has in my sense being that i porting of optimism surrounding it. but it appears not everyone is willing to get run the table. it was really interesting news. we've heard as lensky saying at the munich security conference, but he will need speak to press a preach and he will speak to n to the else. it's not the russian delegation, it will only be present preaching. well, that is a massive one, if you do agree 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, uh, moving towards with russia, is he going to be able to even get up to a negotiating tables to really interesting to see where he's now coming from. it feels as if every day, perhaps even every hour we getting a very different sense. if west loved him is 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 to being coming from the trunk administration. what's also really interesting is here with the munich security conference. he's also been trying to put the division between the us and europe, essentially go over, look into us leaving this out of this year up. 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 you, craig. he was side learning europe to had a most go with who you're part if we, as your peers don't trust each other. a few days ago, president tom told me about cheese conversation was put to north winds. so did she mention that the american needs you are at the table?

which in one's while on one talks with america just like before the war. when they met in switzerland and it looked like to call them up the world next put in, we'll try to get the u. s. president. standing on the red square on main, on may 9th this year. not as a respected later, but as a pro, in his own performance. so as it let us do, doris, and she's saying that pitching is going to be using trump is essentially a barrier net profit. but the us doesn't seem to give much of a carrier about this. we've now heard from the us special envoy keys 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 device it. can you can your show this audience, the ukrainians will be at the table and europeans will be at the table. where you

just change the whole dynamic organ 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 it against most scope. if most go doesn't come to the negotiating table and do a deal. interestingly, bonus 3 is 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 gonna change that right now. with washington's weapons shipments

to ukraine. a evidently drawing up, you know, tools to will, tool and cities affected by the ongoing conflict being advertised for visitors as a get more details on this on the story. as our correspondence, we're in a culture room, a k of has to, to a new low by selling there are people suffering for cash and propaganda. and they've been doing this for quite some time. now, as we can see, in this report by the telegraph from august 2020 for the war crime to our full 3000 pounds, the tourist flocking to golf at ukraine's tragedy. in the last 2 months, west or media had been all over these war tours. these destroyed buildings carry traces of rushes, war, and ukraine. their parts of the doctor was landmarks that alberta chose to visit during his trip western, his flock to ukraine for was own tourism. an unusual vacation trent peculiar trend has been set with this high risk place becoming a tourist attraction of quite

a advertisement for that's how i get all the n slash clientele. so how much do these tours cost? you may wonder ball. there are quite a few of them and many promising that's part of the proceeds will go to the ukranian army, as you can see right here. capital tours key of all for some of the cheapest packages, started at $120.00 euros for a private tour of the horrors of russian occupations. where you can pause for point in photographs and it's the home sitting remnants of char, the apartment complexes, vul scarred by shrapnel. more tours is selling cube with a bit of a markup at a $150.00 euros per person, which will get you a peak. i destroyed military equipment in the capital as uh, 250 euros of pump. it's double the phone visit to boats and air pin for some horror stories, where they invite you to witness evidence of russian regression with your own eyes

. their version of events, of course it's certainly huge here for you. it's also drove eastern parts to create a used car key and other cities and different patrol separates. yeah, yeah. or the washer, and that's so they're coming to try to shows that the damage is that because the screen is under blue using the green is keeping everything that is there or how it was happening. so this for an adverb anything they're talking about that it was uh, its own system shooting down dismissal. as i'm hitting its own people, they're talking about that i would say, no, it's only russian who's behind us. and we'll show you printing was the one of the setup and check the printing was have i have numerous people who knew that was how it was happening in good shape when it was there under the rest of the soldiers. and they said they were not being shot at, they were checked to say, and what your brain is talking about is the total. why? and there's no evidence back to what happening, which are peach or any other situation. they're talking about any train where it's

on air. thank you and prep system part of the story. it's on bowie. and they're saying that it's the rest of the song shooting down those bodies directly where there's the, there's no evidence about that being drawn to those people who are being sent to those stores. well, what's the remains of popular destination for these tours and stuff? the only draw companies like visit ukraine have to offer they also have a tour open t occupied cities for around $400.00 euros. now the company promises to take visitors to the same street from which there were horrific sorts of civilians being solved. that's just not talk about who did the actual shooting. 8 these are the cheap packages because most of them actually costs upwards over a 1000 years and go all the way up to 3200 years. how do you feel when you look at like this will be selected for contains. there's a lot of stuff here when you look at this, like how do you dislike is very and then the feeling sometimes is

in that way. all of this is designed to make foreigners paid and ukraine a is. it's hated side because these tours are not only a cash cow, but also pure propaganda. they don't take these taurus to the other side where they could see the, i know the angels and don't yet, for example, and memorial dedicated to all the children who died from kids selling a residential areas. why not take them to the sides of the old desk? so massacre where ukrainian forces set a building on fire, trapping and killing of 48 people and entering over 200 others, their own citizens who happen to adhere to at different points of view. nobody is going to talk about how many people are that are coming to children, died in don't boss throughout the water train was killing them just showing regular

people regular cities where there was no mountain. we have objects. objects was there at all. here he probably has all aspects of the at all search there. this one has its own people, the ship. there's only one people for the $5500.00. and they're just taking money out of this whole tragedy, which is having the free in mind about this is, this is the ethical part of the free lo x. it's just a regime of hatred and the foxes, and i'm not certain toward its own people. that's what it was that it's all about. i'd have to see brain because it was the hatred though, because the russian notes are but because of the phrase government and hatred toward before i see the one piece. so this is what the plan is really about. and today's, the crane is all about donations, as we keep hearing from is the live scan co give us money at your own expense, travel to ukraine as your role in the risk, whatever it takes, as long as you help us, even though nothing changes. this why it's all the help they've been getting,

which is in the billions at this point. doc tourism is a small part of it, but it's very important in terms of propaganda. any crane state agency for tourism development is all fords, as long as they are in control of where people go, what they see and who they talk to shut the ca. yep. i'm sure what is doctors and it means visiting dissolves to areas. and we understand that there is a particular audience quite small, and actually that visit such places. so that is an interest to such places in ukraine today as a state, we cannot stop people having an interest to such places from coming. when we cannot stop something, it's important to take the leave and organize it properly when it comes to ensuring the accuracy of the information provided to those people of narratives of the understanding those people will have when they leave, you train people and that on boss could easily organize similar tours,

but the locals there have imagine profiting from people's misery. now, these tourists are also all likely to go on a patrol tour would be as b, u to get a taste of force mobilization, or witness. one of the various neo nazi parades to get a real taste of ukraine that wouldn't fit the narrative for foreigners. just want to come to see that the, what i don't buy. so the other side, they're going to get prosecuted in the west right away for just wanting to find out the truth. to wanted to see the other side. remember those with the new ones as well? yeah. even the french spanish slash offer express went and saw and show the other side of the don't pass. the people who are fighting for don't pass the russian army, which is a virus for the people, the boss right away, the key regime. and the reason for the other western media started to go against them. and even just the accreditation started from entering your brain at that time

. nonsense. so this is anybody who doesn't want to do to, to see the choose their to watch for why your brain is the ones to revise. because in the west design about this because they're back. ready with you and they don't want the people to go on travel to see what really happened along the side of story is as always, been sold as the truth and the west is eating it up without any consideration for the misery and suffering of thousands of people on the other side, dark indeed to the southern, the quote because as we go here on the program where our 2nd round of voting to elect, the next president of the republic about kazi a has been announced, a soft that none of the 5 candidates on the initial ballot able to secure a majority vote up only results showing, but there are going by with about 46 percent of the road while his main opponent, i'd go out of them by securing about 37 percent in the 1st round. get a few more details now with the senior course as well. the 1st round ease ease of

what there's going to be a 2nd round due to the fact that uh, not because of the mileage to uh, drive up to 50 percent the road. so there's going to be a 2nd ground in about 2 weeks time, but uh yeah, this is a big turnout. 65 percent of the population, which is just over $90000.00 people. it may seem like a very, very small number. it is indeed it is. you, the population of, of katia is less than $300000.00 people. it's, it's a small state. so this is a very visa, 5 going on between the 2 front, broad as the 2 eating cabinets between the room. the 2nd round will be applied. you are a very passionate people in the veto it's, it's been up and down in the opposing civil need isn't being the proves them to the most recent to where the president is full. i was just last year,

the selection, ease, ease, the awesome awesome who's said for election can be sure they made sure the violations was feel was as possible. is that actual observers with here? uh, people from, from all over the world. everything. when uh, when to move in was this very, very common v v. observers, we bought as a tool to happy content about how the electron width and he goes to evaluate when voting each vote or gets a stamp in their internal passport. and this is a guarantee that the same person cannot vote twice if he or she wanted to. so falsification is ruled out on the things that i've seen so far. excellent. people are organized. nothing's extraordinary. what's happening. calm, quiet. the voting forces is taking place in a very high level, i mean in both aspects of particular goals and the organizing.

so i think that everything is okay. and the people off of katia and the possibility to choose freely and to hold freely guide you through this rule. so if you used to go against georgia from, for its independence, the people who are mendecy protected with the off them off of that of their culture, of, of, of the way of life. but for certain states politics come from one of the people regarding the so called presidential elections that took place in the george and occupied break away region of up cause you on the 15th of february 2025. we recall that the european union does not recognize the constitutional and legal framework in which they took place. ukraine does not recognize the sham elections and abuse them as part of russia's systematic efforts to legitimize the pro russian separatist regina and occupied georgia in territory reinstatement. it's coming from

the european union coming from from ukraine. just scott g is because they, they both of carried ways. they might have been, you know, diving, i'm election, but much has changed since in the european union. we've seen them cancel in romania and tar let's. because the cat does it, they didn't want one on one, but neither pride was in ukraine. there's a president for former presidents, the landscape whose time has expired, who denies any calls for elections and says, the pregnant people don't want elections still want. i'm elected president. so sort of issue, you know, prize you the reaction to these, these called the nations from the european union and from you. great. and being human. last, people to see uh, i'll focusing on a prize you they prepared for the next round of elections and they've taken their

lessons from the situation around the world. all right, i'll senior corresponded right there are wrapping up. this was the addition of this sunday weekly program here on how to international because what from what does the of online the website of course seat on the hello and welcome to was a part throughout history. humanity has tried many times to solve problems by means that have not only exacerbated the pre existing challenges, but also could.
