the, the, the breaking news write down the crumbling and confirmed that a top diplomatic delegation with the head to saudi arabia on tuesday. they'll sit down with their american counterparts, forging upon what is the political settlement of the street. and 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. one passing without. i'm invited to the talk space ukraine. lot of is the lead. so instead he is locked up next door and the way you building this big of a company, no peace without his in countries in both of those 5, 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 us vice president, that this america under trump is living on another planet. pod rhetoric from the us as the unique security conference leads the europeans on edge. it brings the farms chub, to let me conclude and this becomes difficult. the power struggle might be brewing. can you create a local mass, sad of pharmacies in care of and no longer off to the task of running the country and aspects the last key, staring down the barrel off, emitted treat the you're watching. are you into the option of reaching you live from a new center with moscow? i a michael watching. our next stop right now. we add

a crumbling and it has officially confirmed that moscow's top different might instead of get lob rob, along with presidential aid, will meet with the us delegation in saudi arabia. on tuesday, we are expected to discuss the ways of potentially resolving the creating conflict of a sudden the issue of restoring normal relations is on the agenda. now the question is about agreeing on how to start negotiations for now in this context, because 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 in saudi arabia on tuesday, are from sort a 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 re ignites reconstruct, comprehensive relations between russia and the united states that have been cold and not working properly for so many years because of hostile us foreign policy and live, rob 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, appears to show up whenever we go into negotiations upon the suggestion of our partners. our primary goal is to listen to them before the president's putting in trump during their phone conversation agreed on the need to move past the completely abnormal period and relations between these 2 great powers. 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 counterpart is 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 have gone crazy. i mean, the headlines 10 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 got an extra deadline. do you think that'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 so 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 works. so the fact that we're 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 new 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. got so many concerns, not to mention the numerous sections put on brush up by the west. all of these have to be part of the negotiation. and ultimately the rest has concern over deed expectation, demilitarization and ukrainian neutrality has to be agreed upon by all the partners involved. and so i think that that adds to the complexity here. what could possibly happen. he's a rep for a month between united states and russia, but to get opinions going on a separate cost on a wordpress. and we have to recognize that that's

a possibility in this equation. was also interesting to us. the things that we've seen moving around, right. and we some days this morning, we sold it the 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 conference law prof. reference that today. um, what specific team did he have just 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 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 means 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, by 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 war war war. no, no sort of understanding of, of what it's gonna 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 simple guns combine, yet declared independence from ukraine. and if you ever seem 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 smoking. 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, 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. for 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 into european countries. we have to recognize for binding the hungry also. slovakia is leader. dar many fishers and fractures within the european alliance. not only within nato, but in the 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 negotiation, 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 reading anybody. right? that 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 year mom green is actually playing into the cards 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 onto 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 you faint device and we're willing to take that risk. the problem, of course, is that the start to get up getting countries that are also nuclear powers. 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 blogs. the new blog is very difficult to imagine, may find not actually, right,

how brussels would be able to what the taking in ukraine with what that was that, i mean, just totally rebuilt, how they would survive that 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 here? well, we've already seen the video of secretary of state marco rubio, touching down in 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 to 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 is obviously bad news for vladimir zalinski 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 ukraine 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 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, 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 her to 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 there are powers 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 zalinski 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,

philip opportunities for investors to come in for concessions for the opportunity to get something in with science. 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 here's 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 that 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 of 4 year olds. that's how the chapman

know, the munich security conference 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. now that reaction was likely triggered by the us vp speech in which he took to the podium to tell me your opinions that they've got the power, which is all wrong. designs was met with near silence and shocked looks. i saw all the confidence chapman. well, it was all too much in this order. it's 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 that this becomes difficult.

the i know we were joined by a panel of guests to discuss the biggest movements from unit as well as how the west is having to design the meaning of compromise in an effort changing world. 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 consummate you have demand 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 decide to do with 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 the sub 3 years. 3 years press the 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 bowlful 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 mine young judge, i thought also taking part in the conference. gentleman,

please closely listen to this comment from the indian foreign minister. there was a time and i would 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 double install the brutal dictators in latin america and in africa and in asia. and same thing now is happening in uh

when you train, you know, so there are no elections that a zillion fee is basically a, a, 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, 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 a vassals. the chinese foreign minister was at the munich security conference, the he might have a few statements here, have a listen to what the chinese foreign minister had to say, please. so let me show you around on equal 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? it's not safe because you know, some countries tend to politicize economic and trade issues and treat them as a tool to suppress china. we will see a new change on the drum. we see the different tools being used. now we have detached strategies to go cost, be able to see now child needs that to, to consolidate. you seem to know, you know, you mentioned perceptions about 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 impalas abuse us as, as a piggyback on the trend of russia and using new create as the ultimate beat that you're trying to look up. man has suggested the top rising key of a need to be cleansed. the address was published on the telegram trying to load the party of the former president bush. uncle, well, recently found themselves sanctioned by national authorities. when things are

difficult at the front, when it is necessary to unite the authorities, are 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. being wise, lot to me is the last case as there is a very good reason. he hasn't held elections. apparently, the people don't want to change of government while those who disagree with kids stands on that can simply give our best citizenship. this is what's really where important. i'm right it. you know, to speak about elections if you want to ukraine 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 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 it. lensky has put it. now that that is because ukrainian man of conscription age are banned from leaving the country without special permission. it has also become commonplace for the equipment officers to forcibly send them to the front lines. tension on the streets is rising and with it they have been cases of assassination attempts against enlistment offices. for example, one woman recently blew herself up near

a group of military recruiters. she killed herself and an officer also being during 6 others. now we spoke with forma, ukrainian security service officer. bassetti pros are off. he said that zalesky wouldn't allow elections because he knows he wouldn't when. what is up with a 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 zalinski further? if let's say the us 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. let's head to ease row now this monday mocks the grim milestone of the 500 f day since the have mass attacks on israel. back in october, 2023. raleigh is being staged across the country, demanding those still being held hostage in gaza on not forgotten. all right, let's cross live to ortiz, middle east bureau chief, maya for an auction now, who joins us now from the heart of one of the protest in tel aviv my eyes. good to

have you do. i mean, now there's still a lot of, i'm the applied to all the captives. can you take us to the feelings and that most the protests right now the, you're doing to mike? well, emotions are running high here at television, hostages square families of this $73.00 remaining at 16. they've friends. so they've been just ordinary citizens all making they've always saved her here to nights the one thing urgent action from the government. they are not happy with the current phase exchange still be of calling to ring. the hostages home. now monday, march $500.00 day since they are over 7 to tax wouldn't come out to milton's cost increase, roll and kidnapped $251.00 people. so for 182 hostages have been returned. 141, i live 41. the fees with $73.00 remaining cub tibits is due and at least

2 of them i believe to be alive and clock is ticking for them. at the heart of the coming ration today as 500 minutes fast, one minutes for each day and contribute to those released have shared harrowing accounts of the time in the gaza strip painting a picture help in humane conditions and families. of those still held, some of them are gathered here tonight and just ordinary citizens, they say time is running our best calling from the start button to maintain yahoo! we have been able to speak to some of them tonight. let's take a listen to what they have to say. came here today because after 500 days, we can do nothing about this, they know 500 days in health. you gotta show you gotta spend the message there, there need to need to come home. it's about the pressure of the government that the

we show the support with the families and on the other end the showing some sympathy and the appreciation to the family that's make those victims. we still are waiting for the 2nd phase of the deal, which has not been formed, which is not even starting to become uh to take form. and so it needs to happen a file, as you can hear, lots of anger and frustration in the meanwhile is real. security cabinets meet monday evening to discuss phase 3 of the gas and seeing 5 deal. this is one of the remaining hostages, dead and alive. also pace to be returned and the 2nd phase for phase v is also meant to signal the end of the war. something benjamin cynthia has resisted fearing backlash from his fall rise coalition partners, especially the finance minister molto, who has threatened earlier to raise the government and leave the call. listen if the war doesn't with you. but it's washington calling the shots right now.

president trump, to the leasing, who insisted over the returns. but the 2nd phase is absolutely going to. this is full taishan and the strong ones to see proof on mondays and it really isn't the case. it is you to lead to ty roku, negotiate details with well allowing folks to continue and attend yahoo is making strong warning to have mosse. 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 they surely will. if all are hostages, are not released until the last one of them. oh here and it's on yahoo is echoing trunk. who issued a blank ultimatum ahead of the last postage exchange. release everyone at once a hell will break loose a direct press to and to cease far speaking with another events and from the whole

thing goes trumps controversially. one to really cade guns to 1000000 residents and bring the territory on the u. s. administration take on this thing. ready voice lars, to the risk but to be much was as not as we try to get him on his way home us. we will try to be so we to get out with over $40000.00 palestinians, killed and hundreds of his really soldiers and hostages lost as many to make it and died inc. tibbetts, tate in the guise of streets in napa. suddenly the framing of trump plan as a sole patient is actually raising eyebrows predicts on you. he's most focused on

his political survival rather than the lives of the faith of guidance. meanwhile, the discussion health plays for gangs making headlines. a nice role. it has been mix that's a mass, has agreed to relinquish control of gaza to the tally studio for sealants they allegedly confirmed and alexa sends to the p l. o. well, we cannot seem dependent. please verify this information. our service has confirmed and a real agreements exist though, you know, in the middle east verbal deals mainly, but they send yahoo as we want to dismiss this idea in system gases for life week tron supply. his laser state responding to the news, he moved down on the vision of a new gaza with its faithful relocated, and slend refer from the face of the hostages. god them, and the war itself. all now hanging the balance back to my wife's hearty midlife bureau chief, my f in austin are bringing us up to speed that.
