9:01 am
vice president. but this america, under trump is living on another planet. while the munich security conference devolved into like, worldwide, for us, organizes that something called rhetoric from the us springs chapman. let's conclude, and this becomes difficult. the kind of how struggle is growing in ukraine. the mail that says he never capital says, look forward, he's in cuba no longer up to the task of ruling the nation, adding those that lensky is staring down the barrels of a minute, treat the on the out almost every all the day. this is all to international thanks for choosing to kick start your news week with us. will next stop re at the present and has officially confirmed the most cuz top dip them up. so gala falls along with the
9:02 am
presidential aide, will meet with the us delegation and sell to waive your on tuesday. that they are expected to discuss ways to potentially result. they are quite in conflict. they are expected to hold discussions with their american counterparts on tuesday, which will primarily focused on restoring the full spectrum of russian american relations. additionally, they will address preparations for possible negotiations regarding the ukranian situation and organizing a meeting between the 2 presidents. while this odd joined note as well, to correspond to donald quoted, but also by chris to allow the academic research on international secretary of the american communist party fussing. no, don't, i'm going to start with you just that we can get the background and kind of the facts out of the way. things are developing really quickly. we heard from now for off. what is the state to pay as we speak now? right, well the latest comments that we have from any sort of russian official on these upcoming negotiations that are set to take place in saudi arabia on to his day are
9:03 am
from sir day lab, rob the russian for administer during his bilateral meeting with the serbian foreign minister, but they didn't just talk, of course about relations between serbia and russia. lab, ralph, tony talked a lot about the expectations that the russian side has for these upcoming negotiations. the sort of echoed something that the kremlin said earlier today that the russian side is going into this. trying to reignite reconstructs comprehensive relations between russia and the united states that have been cold and not working properly for so many years because of hostile u. s. foreign policy in lab, ralph said, right, the main goal of the russian delegation is going to be not to make ultimatums or park orders or anything like that, but to listen to the other side and get past the sort of relations that have really played diplomacy between russia and the united states for many years,
9:04 am
or there's the single whenever we go into negotiations upon the suggestion of our partners, our primary goal is to listen to them for the, for the president's putting in trump during their phone conversations agreed on the need to move past the completely abnormal period and relations between these 2 great power, another one, essentially they were not communicating at all except about some technical and humanitarian issues. the presidents concurred. that dialogue needs to be resumed on all matters that can be addressed with the involvement of both russia and the us. this includes discussions about the situation in ukraine, the middle east, and several other regions around the world that are currently experiencing unrest. therefore, we will listen to our american counter partners, and of course, we will be ready to respond. we will report back to our leaders who will make decisions regarding further steps of what course for i really want to get your take on this because, i mean, everyone seems to have gone crazy of, i mean the headlines the years ago on social media and phone saying the end of the
9:05 am
war is imminent. it's just around the corner. what's your view on that? is that slightly over optimistic some people even saying we've got an extra deadline. do you think that's actually feasible? listen, i think that 1st we have to recognize just as a historic moment, the fact that us rush a bilateral relations were so abnormal over the past 3 years, especially under former president by that who cut off basically any contact with his cumberland kept the parts is really something that we have to recognize and this period of time has been, uh, something that we haven't seen since the cold war. so the fact that we are restarting diplomatic relations and at least having a dialogue is very symbolic. and something that can lead to some progress on not only the bilateral relationship, but on possibly ending the war and you frame however, i think we have to send for our expectations. there are a lot of complexities involved here. russia's national security concerns. it's questions over, it's kind of total integrity over the expansion of nato. there are so many concerns, not to mention the numerous sanctions put on brush. that's by the wes. all of these
9:06 am
has to be part of the negotiations. and ultimately, the rest is concerned over the next vacation, demilitarization and ukrainian neutrality has to be agreed upon by all partners involved. and so i think that that adds to the complexity here. what could possibly happen is the rep push month between united states and russia. but they get opinions going on a separate pass on a wordpress, and we have to recognize that that's a possibility in this equation. was also interesting, just the things that we've seen moving around. right. and we see that this morning, we sold it, and he's with mazda called, might be coming back. and now everyone's thinking good. is this all somehow involved? i don't know. so we have to talk about the munich security conference law prof. reference that today. um, what specifically did he have to say about not events? well, at the press conference that he gave, which i mentioned before, he talked a lot about right, how this is connected to the european union kind of feeling insecure and it's position not knowing if it's gonna have a significant spot or
9:07 am
a spot at all at the negotiating table when it comes to coming to sort of some sort of peaceful resolution to this ukraine conflict and lots of asked. i mean, why should they have a position at all in the negotiating process when they've still got this attitude that they have had since the minutes protocols back in 2015? and this, just to remind our viewers was an agreement that was signed by a number of parties including russia, germany, france, to establish a cease fire in the ukraine conflict. and later on, european officials had admitted that this was just to buy ukraine time to prepare its military for a larger conflict with russia and russia had actually engaged in these negotiations in good faith. and now at the munich security conference, we've got people like the finished president saying that maybe they can cut another troops to buy more time and prepare the military for another confrontation for the european union. it's just more war war. no, no sort of understanding of,
9:08 am
of what it's going to take to actually come to a peace agreement in this conflict. and again, we're talking about the european sponsors of a regime that lab ross has called out for its many crimes. i mean, we're pressing the russian language, we're pressing russian culture, giving these basically for a free way to neo nazis, to put their own political agenda at the forefront of the country. i mean, the end, of course we can forget about when the people's republic several guns combined yet declared independence from ukraine and the key ever seemed launched a military offensive against those people calling them all terrorist. so of course lab rob said that these people need to be held accountable condition with the finance computer. as for the outcome of the munich conference, i can say the following. everyone must be held accountable for their actions when someone engages in lawlessness for many years. and when a nazi regime is arm to kill its own citizens,
9:09 am
all while hoping to somehow slip by and hide under a nuclear umbrella that will no longer be tolerated. people must answer for their deeds. that's even stated in the bible. if they attempt to push for some cunning ideas about freezing the conflict while continuing to wage war as per their usual customs and habits, then why invite them at all? a chris or just picking up from something that done such he was obviously talking about who will that's the message and monitor coming out of your appeal. so sad europe potentially could to see what so will pos, some of washington's perspective, how significant apart, not outside negotiating table is brussels. i mean the trunk, but the european need is i've never really had it in the past and or has still to see that they have moved towards each other. but moving forward, if the us is pushing for that case, still is not going to even fall the terror rate, the ties between the 2. i think so this in the euro atlantic alliance we are seeing
9:10 am
now is on the precipice of a possible decline. and we're seeing that there's a lot of hysteria coming out of european countries. there's also fracturing into european countries. we have to recognize for binding hungry also, slovakia as leader dar many fishers and fractures within the european alliance. not only within nato, but into your opinion itself. and the populace, the people of various european countries are sick of their money going to ukraine and to end to the possibility of further expenditures in the military. so the fact that some is coming in and the 6 to have the restart in negotiations, the europeans are not necessarily interested in that decades of rooster phobia. and sort of ramping up this conflict and the future mongering of a possible russian invasion of europe of the borders. russia has expressed no interest in invading anybody. right? the what happened in, in kelvin, 2014 has to be understood with an, it's in circle context. but there's been no indication that the russian federation, 6, any other military conflict. so this year long green is actually playing into the cards
9:11 am
of those will seek to create a european wide army. those who advocate it always for europe actually to move away from the u. s. block. and to be it's a block unto itself and to have its own policy outside of washington. the fear here is that brussels might eventually tell the americans if the americans cut a deal and say, we don't want to be involved anymore. as, as to say, we're going to send our sons and daughters do you paying device and we're willing to take that risk. the problem, of course, is that the start to get up get in countries. they're also usually of ours. so we have to understand that there's still a lot of danger in this, and my hope is that cooler heads and sane people can prevail in brussels to forge a new restart to this entire situation, not only for their own countries, but for the good opinion global security at large. i'm also just, i would add, very interesting, we're hearing basically the usa loves ukraine is never going to get into nature. then a couple of hours later we hit us to the same. we need to speed up to create the session, to, to the blog, to the new blog. it's very difficult to imagine,
9:12 am
may find not actually, right how brussels would be able to what the taking in ukraine will. but that was that, i mean, just totally rebuilt. how they would survive thought, don't just returning to the much anticipated summit in saudi. we know pretty much he's coming from moscow now, prof. presidential aids. i'm sure more in terms of the makeup of the us team. what are we looking at him? well, we've already seen the video of secretary of state marco rubio, touching down and saudi arabia, so it looks like he's going to be part of the american delegation. but earlier in the day we also heard from trump's special envoy in the middle east. steve with coff, who said that he's going to be making his way to saudi arabia with his colleagues, with the rest of the delegation. and there's also reports that the national security advisor mike waltz is going to be there as well. and they've all gone with the stated purpose of improving ties with moscow and making some sort of progress towards a potential peaceful resolution of the ukraine conflict. and that's something that
9:13 am
is obviously bad news for vladimir zaleski who's already freaking out about the fact that he didn't know in advance these negotiations were going to take place of the ukraine will not take part. ukraine knew nothing about this. and ukraine regards any negotiations about ukraine without ukraine as having no results. we cannot recognize any things or agreements about us that took place without us. and now that's a really bold claim that so lensky is not gonna accept any sort of negotiations that he's not a part of, especially when washington is basically keeping the country afloat. right. i mean, the military budget would not would completely sync without the american taxpayer dollars. ukrainian media is held a float by american taxpayer dollars and pretty much everything else in the country . so, i mean, washington could just pull the plug on that and the key version would be in big trouble. and that's connected to something i want to ask you, chris,
9:14 am
because obviously we know right now that's it, as, as we're seeing preparations for these talks and saudi arabia, zalinski himself right now is in the united arab emirates right next door. you know, he wasn't on the guest list for saudi arabia, and we also have heard that he and heard a one are going to potentially be talking about regulating the brain conflict. seeing how that, what kind of progress they can make on that. so what the likelihood do you think there will be for us to once you to play some part in these negotiations at large at large? of course, if you think about it, donald trump might be a good deal maker, but zalinski is a good salesman. so he's right now going to sell all of ukraine, if he can do whoever can be the, the highest or the lowest bidder, depending on the situation. so i think part of what's happening is that the lensky feels left out. he understands that the, our power is bigger than him. that are at the table. he's basically that the kids stable and the bigger powers are trying to figure things out. and so let's,
9:15 am
he says, i want a piece of the action. he's going to go to other regional partners. of course, ukraine has an economy that has suffered in this war time. he might be willing to sell up enterprises, philip opportunities for investors to come in for concessions for the opportunity to get something in return. and of course, what he ultimately once is, as he said, if he's not a part of the negotiations, he's not going to agree to anything. which means that he's willing to carry this on . he's willing to continue to have ukraine in a state of absolute war. and taking people off the streets and carrying them against their will to the front lines to die for him and his the ruling class of their. so i think ultimately we have to understand that zelinski has his own agenda, the, the rulers and gifts have their own agenda. and if the west no longer supports the, they're going to continue regardless of the cost in their minds. and until he's actually, you know, removed from power and he already has no authority to be there, given that he's not re elected. so i think that there's a lot of complicated factors here. and i think ultimately he's going to try to do
9:16 am
whatever bilaterally or multilaterally that he can do to try to get a leg up in these negotiations. yeah, i guess it's gonna last until, i mean, i guess the, the, the lensky regime runs out of its, its desire to keep throwing people into the meat grinder or, and until the us and russia can come to some sort of agreement. and washington actually forces key of to get with the the, the playbooks that everyone is getting behind. absolutely. well, christine's definitely picked some of the most interesting times to come and visit us and most go not only of with minus 15 degrees outside, but also looks at the home to political mathis. shifting around was very glad that we did manage to catch you. that was all taking responding goals don't quote, unless of joining us. the sockets for hello audi academic research, a international secretary of the american family support. thank you very much. thank you. while the night matt for europe, that's how the cabin up in unix, secure to conferences describes the new us administration's approach towards the continent. this fall, it was in a certain sense of a european nightmare of
9:17 am
a. but at the same time, it was also a very as a 3 day unit security conference has wrapped up many of the events here, a pay an awesome days under adult breathing, a sigh of relief. i talked to the u. s. v p took to the stage, telling them maple that priorities were wrong. j t. vons was met with near silence. i'm shocked. looks as nothing compared to the mount down here. pretty good of the conferences. chad, to this order is easy to disrupt. it's easy to destroy, but it's much harder to rebuild. so let us stick to these values, let us not reinventing but focus on strengthening their consistent application. let me conclude and this becomes difficult. the
9:18 am
well, i mean we were talking about tons of gas to discuss that because moments from unit cause one is how the west is helping to adapt on compromise. and then as a change in, well, when we look at the election of donald trump, it's probably europe's worst nightmare. because the over the past 3 years, they've approached a conflict in ukraine. from a one dimensional perspective. i'm not allowing any room for a diplomatic solution. and now all of a sudden, when you have the most powerful country in the world, there are nato ally, they're probably most dependable ally, historically pulling you can complete, you turn, you have multiple voices coming from the european cox, and that you have a man like for bonds who wants to use? uh, you have people like the germans, the european commission, who are more pro war continuing the war and you have a lot of countries on decided to do with smart since the beginning of the conflict
9:19 am
. it kept this relationship with ukraine and kept this relationship with russia, and it was a book carp compartmentalize both. that wasn't easy, but it was a huge diplomatic success and it gave a blueprint a template of how these countries should have managed the past 3 years. but then again, none of them did throughout these of 3 years. turkish press or ridge of type ad one was called pro russian when he was probably one of the only pro peace guys. probably the 1st pro peace politician vocal and advocating for a diplomatic solution. and he did everything he could, but unfortunately he was working against the blog that don't want to see a protracted word. of course, the indian foreign minister, a sort of mind john john carter, also taking part in the conference. gentleman, please closely listen to this comment from the indian foreign minister. there was a time on i'd have to say this in all honesty with west treated democracy as a western kind of president and was busy encouraging non democratic forces in the
9:20 am
global thought. it showed us, i mean in many, many cases i can find somebody recent ones, where actually every thing that you say you value at home, you don't practice abroad when, as the us actually spread democracy, the us once installed public leaders all over the world. and you know, if you look at, during the cold war, in the name of the fighting communism, a do us just will install the router. dictators in latin america and in africa and in asia. and same thing now is uh, happening in, uh, uh we, ukraine, you know, so there are no elections that a zillion fee is, uh, basically a uh you just over dictate or do i do us uh,
9:21 am
funded and armed denazi's and ukraine for more than a decade so in the munich security conference, you know, they talked about, you know, the theme was remote depot or world. and uh, i guess what are they really have to work towards? and if you look at your opinions, they just realized that they're, they're just, they're vassals, a chinese foreign minister without the munich security conference. he, he may have a few statements here. have a listen to what the chinese foreign minister had to say, please. so let me show you around audio. china and russia are 2 neighbors with a long borderline based on our mutual trust. we have built a comprehensive strategic partnership. 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 them with so much gas, which is not safe? because you know, some countries tend to politicize economic and trade issues and treat them as
9:22 am
a tool to suppress china. we will see a new change on the drum. we see the different tools being used. now we have detected strategies to go cos maple, so single child needs that to, to consolidate. you seem to know, you know, be made simple section by the regards to you. be sure to clear. yes, we have seen how the whole for the past couple of years now we have seen how beautiful the colors have use us as, as a piggyback on, on the side of russia. and using you created the ultimate because i'm finding a ukrainian may i have suggested that the top browsing kit has needs to be cleansed . the address was published on the telegram channel of the policy of the former president parson co, who recently found himself sanctioned by national authorities, coordinators. when things are difficult at the front, when it is necessary to unite the authorities or persecuting the opposition, i as a military man, as the mayor of boris bull, and as
9:23 am
a conscious citizen working for the victory, they do not understand what is happening in the country perhaps the authorities are sick, the way out is to carry out a global cleansing, if the military will do it. you will not like it. meanwhile, vitamins lensky says, has a very good reason that he hasn't held elections. apparently the people don't want to change of government, while those who disagree with kids stones not can simply give up the citizenship vicious. what's really worry important. i'm right it, you know, to speak about elections if you want. you bring us don't want totally done to along because the freight because otherwise for the lose their military law we're law and our soldiers will come back home and clinton will occupied. all our territory is not involved. you know, myself, it's about the future of our country. it's about for today. really. the question is
9:24 am
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 as well when it comes to chase. now the possible, the issue is not as easy as the last to says, and that's because ukrainian manual conscription age all signed from leaving the country without special permission is also to come home and pay for putting offices to $0.53 from the front line. tension on the street as rise and was it that happy in case of assassination attempt changed in this one offices? for example, one woman recently moved herself up here, put the minute to the princess. she killed her cellphones and office on ended 6 others. we spoke with don, you'll send it to stop in route correspondent and chapman olsby union of john and this of republica sipp. scott, is that a major re distribution of power is currently underway in ukraine?
9:25 am
mister body, cinco said the old obvious thing. that's political leaders to a few of green are seriously ill. of course the question is why he raised that's for so long. i think this message is sent to why the audio is because uh, based off of love him is the last, these are numbers. there is a shift in distribution of power on the west, initialize by victory of donald trump, and a lot of forces inside your brain. now want to prepare themselves for life after peace. especially politicians like this one is the last the who are if there was much rather piece proposal in february and march of 2022 authors. so many people died, reassembled, become refugees in peace, time he base as major politicians are or i think in future you agree and what, whatever that would be. the last thing you would be forced to seek, i cite them in one of the countries that sponsor his bought
9:26 am
a big gabriel wants him. maybe martin johnstone will receive him in his own department. a lot of sites off in the studio. ssl will back up the top of the latest start until then. it is close. folks sit tight, enjoy the i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. and the point obviously is to trace a trust, rather than see it the area, i mean with the artificial intelligence,
9:27 am
we have so many with him in the a robot most protects his phone existence was alexis the minneapolis again, is a display. yes. we shouldn't have that us do i usually to hans google bush just mostly for boys news i left. i'm work mean your best buy will extend it. you look up this book when i particularly like to make up at the hospital. those are what are you that you live in the do what just anything you could with business name or general hospital or when the when les leslie is of game is a couple of willie phase. just interest me up a new digital or real 0. which means i mean if the what the course or not. ok. so look at the new address which is
9:28 am
really useful. let me go by the end of what sort of summer because i'm at the see what is most nowhere near the the welcome to the cross type bullhorn were all things are considered on peter level. finally, the trump administration has started its pitch, the end, the ukraine complex. needless to say, it did not go down well with the european establishment addicted as they are to this war. will trumps plan work. will the russians agree to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, george samuel, we in budapest, he's
9:29 am
a pod cast where the guy go, which we found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow, we have dmitri bob, that she is the deputy for an editor. uncomfortable sky, a problem, the daily or a gentleman, cross type rules and effect. that means you can jump any time you want, and i always appreciate it. let's start out with george in budapest. well, we've been waiting for this for her a long time. it was a campaign promise, and no trump is making his um, his move as it were here. obviously, i'm making reference to what was going on at the munich security conference, and we had p pegs. that's which kind of surprises all he eloquently delivered the administration's position with quite a bit of forcefulness, i would say much to the gloom and doom of the europeans. george, at the, you know, from the held said i, i think it's an interesting game that the trump administration is essentially saying ukraine has to make a territorial territorial concessions. the us is not backing ukraine membership in
9:30 am
nato and no commitment of american troops in some kind of post war post conflict environment where article 5 could be invoked. that's a pretty interesting starting point. i mean, that was even up to negotiation, which would be your opinions found appalling. um, what do you get from that? because there's a lot of hard negotiations ahead. there's a lot of details and there's a, there's a lot of ambiguity out there. but from the get to go, the trump administration is making very clear, it does want this more to come to an end. george, what is the question i, i agree piece of that the, but the trumpet those races made clear it once this war to end. and that is even clear from the, the telephone conversation that took place between the secretary of state, marco rubio and um, uh, russian foreign minister. so like a lover of they agreed on the meeting in so.
