[000:00:00;00] the breaking news that the credit didn't come from the top of the diplomatic delegation with the head to saudi arabia on tuesday. and they will sit down with the american counterparts forging apostles towards the political settlement of the freight and conflict. we will listen to our american counterparts and of course we will be ready to respond. we will report back to our leaders who will make decisions regarding further steps at one passing without an invite to the talk soon as you create a lot of move jalencia. so we've got, he's rocks up next door, do you? we still insisting that the cabin no peace without his country's involvement

the response, it was in a certain sense european nightmare. but at the same time, it was also a very enlightening conference because we learned from the speech of the vice president that this america under trump is living on another planet, the hot rhetoric from the us. i've been unique security conference leaves the europeans on x and brings the farms job button to to years. let me conclude and this becomes difficult. the power struggle is brewing in ukraine. low code may as well forward to using key. busy and no longer up to the task of running the country. and as that's the last piece, gary down the bottom left of the military to the

continuing coverage of the latest trends shaping the world right now. this is our international. busy michel quite yet, but net stop is really odd. now the country, the company, and rather has to officially confirm the moscow's top diplomat, instead of getting lobrado along with the presidential aid, will meet with the us delegation in saudi arabia. on tuesday, i'd be expected to discuss the ways of potentially resolving the ukraine conflict of the issue of restoring normal relations is on the agenda. now the question is about agreeing on how to start negotiations. the for now in this context is we're talking about bilateral negotiations, the latest comments that we have from any sort of russian official on these upcoming negotiations that are set to take place. and saudi arabia on tuesday are from sir day lab, rob the russian foreign minister 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, reconstruct 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 in the united states for many years. but there's a show for it. whenever we go into negotiations upon the suggestion of our partners, or primary goal is to listen to them before the president's prudent and trump during their phone conversation agreed on the need to move past the completely

abnormal period and relations between these 2 great power. when 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 counterparts. and of course we will be ready to respond. we will report back to our leaders who will make decisions regarding further steps. everyone seems to, i'm crazy. i mean, the headlines in years ago on social media and phone saying, the end of the whole, it's a minute. it's just around the corner. what's your view on that? is that slightly over optimistic some people even saying we've gotten east a deadline to think that it's actually feasible. listen, i think that 1st we have to recognize this is a historic moment. the fact that us rational bilateral relations were still

abnormal over the past 3 years, especially under former president biden, who cut off basically any contact with his cumberland counterparts. it's really something that we have to recognize of this period of time has been, uh, something that we haven't seen since the cold work. 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 a new frame. however, i think we have to send for our expectations. there are a lot of complexities involved here for us as national security concerns. it's questions over it's kind of part of the integrity over the expansion of nato. are so many concerns, not to mention the numerous things sions put on russia by the wes. all of these has to be part of the negotiation. and ultimately the rest is concerned over did expectation demilitarization, and the new training to strategy has to be agreed upon by all the partners involved . and so i think that that's a, that's the complexity here. what could possibly happen is the rep,

1st month between united states and russia, but to get opinions going on a separate test on a wordpress. and we have to recognize that that's a possibility. and this equation was also interesting. just the things that we've seen moving around. right. and we said to this morning, we sold it visa. mastercard might be coming back and now everyone's thinking good. is this all somehow involved? i don't. so we have to talk about the munich security problem, friends, lot prof. reference that today. um, what specific thing 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 pain union kind of feeling insecure and its position. not knowing if it's gonna have a significant spot or 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 ceasefire in the ukraine conflict. then 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 finish 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, 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, so, and of course we can forget about when the people's republic several guns can then yet declared independence from ukraine. and if you ever seem launched a military offensive against those people calling them all terrorist. so of course slab rob said that these people need to be held accountable. 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 armed to kill its own citizens 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 usual customs and habits, then why invite them at all?

from washington's perspective, how significant a partner about negotiating table is brussels. we're seeing that there's a lot of hysteria coming out of european countries. there's also fracturing and to get a pink cartridge, we have to recognize for binding hungry also. slovakia is leader dar many fishers and fractures within the european alliance. not only within nato, but in the european union itself, and the populace, the people of various european countries are sick of their money going to ukraine and to, and 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 as certainly interested in that decades of rooster phobia. and sort of ramping up this conflict and the futile mongering of a possible russian invasion of europe of the borders. russia has expressed no interest in, in reading anybody. right? the what happened in, in kelvin, 2014 has to be understood within it and circle context. but there's been no

indication that the russian federation, 6, any other military conflict. so this, your mom green is actually playing into the cards of those will seek to create a european wide army. those who advocated 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. brussels to say we're going to send our sons and daughters do pain to fight, and we're willing to take that risk. the problem, of course, is that the start to get up getting countries that are 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. the queen 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 blogs. the blog is very difficult to imagine, may find not actually right, how brussels would be able to what the taking in ukraine with all that, 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 who's coming from moscow now, prof. presidential aids. i'm sure more in terms of the make up 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 wick off, 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 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. the ukraine will not take part. ukraine knew nothing about this. and ukraine regards any negotiations about ukraine without you frame as having no results. we cannot recognize any things or agreements about us that took place without us. now that's a really bold claim that zalinski 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, we 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,

because obviously we know right now that 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 the wednesday to play some part in these negotiations at large? 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 lens, he 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 get 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 us enterprises, sell off opportunities for investors to come in for concessions for the opportunity to get something in with science. and of course, what he ultimately was 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 there . so i think ultimately we have to understand that zelinski has his own agenda, 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 whatever bilaterally or multi letter that he can do to try to get

a leg up in these negotiations. a nightmare for europe. that's how the chairman of the munich security council or conference right to describe the new us administration's approach towards the continent of this vash. it was in a certain sense, european nightmare. but at the same time, it was also a very enlightening conference because we learned from the speech of the us, vice president, that this america under trump, is living on another planet pizza. if they didn't come. now that the action was likely triggered by the us, the speech in which he took to the podium to tell the repeating that they've got the power. it is all wrong. dirty vans was met with near silence and shocked looks for the conference. german wiley was too much for him to take 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 very, yeah, well, we're joined by a panel of guests to discuss the biggest moments from unique as well as how the west is having to learn the meaning of compromise in an ever changing weld. 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 the conflict and 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, nato ally, they're probably the most dependable ally, historically pulling you can complete,

you turn, you have multiple voices coming from the european cots and that you have a man like, or bonded who wants peace. you have people like the germans, the european commission, who are more pro war, continue in the war and you have a lot of countries on the side trick. it was smart since the beginning of the conflict. 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, 3 years press the origin, the 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 wanted to see a protracted work. of course, the indian foreign minister, a sort of mind john john carter, also taking part in the conference. gentleman, please close suite and listen to this comment from the indian foreign minister. that was at the time. and 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 global top. 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 w installed uh, router, uh,

dictators in latin america and in africa and in asia. and same thing now is uh, but happening in uh uh when you crane, you know, so there are no elections that a zillion fee. is that basically a uh, of a dictator? do i do us uh, funded and armed it denazi's and ukraine for more than a decade. so in the munich security conference, you know, they talked about, you know, the thing was, most people are world and i, that's what they really have to work towards. and if you look at your opinions, they just realized that the, they're just a vassals. the chinese foreign minister was at the munich security conference. he, he made 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 a tool to suppress china. we'll see a new change on the term. we see the different tools being used. now we have detective track, pseudo cos, maple, so seen how child needs that to, to consolidate. you seem to know, i know you make simple sanctions by the regards to you. the issue of the claim. yes, we have seen how the whole for the past couple of years now we have seen how beautifully and palos have used the us as, as a piggyback on the turn of russia and using new create as the ultimate beat that in ukraine. it may or has suggested the top brass and key of need to be placed. now

the address was published on the telegram channel of the ponti of a former president bush angle, who recently found himself sanctioned by national authorities. 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 a conscious citizen, working for the victory, 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. but while the bottom is the last key says, there is a very good reason he has inhaled elections. apparently, the people don't want a change of government while those who disagree with ppo stands on and that can simply give up their citizenship a. this is what's really very important. i'm right it, you know, to speak about the lexus. if you want, you bring us,

don't want totally done to along because the freight because otherwise for the lose the 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 our country. it's about for today. really. the question is to survive. the question is to save ukraine, our independence, our people, our homes, and the if somebody doesn't like they can choose and other citizenship if they want. now when it comes to getting another passport, the issue is not as easy as the last key has said. that is because you create in man of conscription, age are bad from leaving the country without special permission. it has also become commonplace for recruitment officers to forcibly send them to the front lines.

pensions on the streets is rising, and with it, it has been cases of us twice, the nation that attends against and listening to offices. for example, one woman recently blew herself up near a group of military recruiters. she killed herself, an officer, also injuring 6 others that we spoke with football, ukrainian secuity service, office of a city prisoner off. and he said that zalinski wouldn't allow elections because he knows he wouldn't when. and this is the change of government in ukraine. it's a rhetoric will also change all the dogs will be set on the loser, including failures on the front lines and failures with mobilization. they'll pin the actions of the conscription office on the defunct of government. they will say it's zelinski is fault. they are the new government. they have shrugged it off. it won't happen again and so on. they've turned the page there starting from scratch, hoping that good russia will forget and forgive everything. and with

a clean slate they will decide to negotiate. but for this to happen, the government should be changed 1st. if given the opportunity to vote, ukrainians would certainly take the lensky down. another thing is that zalinski doesn't need elections. i think he is well aware that they would be like death for him. and of course he will resist the elections until the last possible moment. as long as he can, so i don't really believe in the possibility of ukraine having an election. the question is, who among the external players will support to lensky further? if let's say the u. s. refuses to support ukraine and leaves at only 2 europe. then there is a chance that ukraine and its current state will not even make it to autumn. and to the middle east, now let's see. do i have boss combined has been killed? and then the idea of drove the strike on a car in solving lebanon of the attack took place on monday morning, and the city will see dawn and comes despite an ongoing ceasefire between the eas

roll and bay root. with all the details. here was archie, steve sweeney. around 11 o'clock this morning. it is writing for instruct, struck a call here in the city old sit on a southern lebanon tony river. now you can see the remnants of the call behind me completely destroyed. we know that there are a number of casualties according to some media. one of the people that was killed in the vehicle was a senior pick up from how my see how the city of resistance organization is. well, it appears to be escalating. it's addressing that we're being a number of full names on a tax among assessments in the south. our. this is just a day before the end of the extension of the c 5 agreement. it runs out on tuesday of february, the 18th, and it said, do it, does it pay to be an officer in those hostilities we were on the ground yesterday

on sundays? nobody's all who is waiting for his open fire on, on, on civilians, men, women and children holding a number of people hostage and killing a 13 year old go now for the wedding, remain on the ground. the lady policies refused to allow it to be recovered. that was an appeal from the authorities for uniform on the international red cross to help with the recovery of that body. now, as we understand on monday morning, the 40 has now be recovered to the people that were held hostage. they have also to be released by the big question is whether is well, will actually withdrawal its full season. so all eyes really are on a choose i to see whether it is valid this about agreement, whether it withdrawal the full states policies, the liberties government said by president joseph howard. would they be assisted? mostly by that deadline, the committee, the overseas,

the implementation will issue statement last week, saying that he expects that as well will leave. the big question is, is what remains? what happens next? this is steve sweeney throughout the in sit on southern evidence. i think he's rolled out where benjamin that the guy who has threatened mass, a quote that the gates of hells will be opened of the prime minister's comments came during the bilateral meeting with the us secretary of state in jerusalem on sunday at the allies highlighted how the vision for the mid least was wholly aligned with michael rubio, adding that washington back stellar view to the health presenting it as a module for the weld. the nations founded in the ashes. and then the aftermath of a horrifying crime against humanity stood from its very inception from the very day of its birth, against threats,

from every angle in every corner. and has served as an example to the world of a pluralistic society, a free enterprise, democracy and one that if there were more israel's in the middle east, more countries like that, the world would be a safer and a better place. and this is what we hope for the region and for our planet. well, the statements followed the meeting with things really prime minister. his 1st stop on surprisingly on the us secretary of state's middle east tour. guys. i was at the top of the agenda and a strong show of unit $2.00 to $10.00. yeah, one will be able, underlined what they called an unbreakable alliance between israel and the last on the trump's leadership and enjoying statements. they reaffirmed their common strategy to eliminate have massive military political presence and guides on the whole. so thank you asked for its role in securing the release of 3 more hostages on such a day and made it clear is ro will not back down until all remaining captives are freed. let's take a listen. we have

a common strategy and we can always share the details of this a strategy with the public, including when the gates of hell will be open as a surely will, if all hostages are not released. until the last one of them, the guides of the how will be open nathan, yahoo essentially echoed trump, who had issued and ultimately to my head of subsidies exchange from us must release old hostages at once, smelt in stage portions as the current deal dictates, or else hell will break loose effectively ending the ceasefire. and so now as also back trump's bombshell propose a widely condemned to take control of guys on after really catering, it's hold on to 1000000 residents. so let's take a listen while he, i to say why joyce is the largest

the risk. but if not we try to get him on his way home us. we try to be so we so let me get out of why. why not give guys one was a choice now with more than 48000 palestinians killed in the guise of war. antonia always suddenly presenting from one as an act of salvation, likely a necessary step to fulfill his ambition to change the face of the middle east. as he reiterated on sunday. it is clear to everyone that we are facing opportunities to achieve victories, that we never dreamed of. perhaps even in the near future, we will achieve all of these which would change not only the situation for israel, but also change the face of the entire middle east. well has the initial phase of they faced by agreements between these role that have us near as its end
