6:00 am
us protect this phone, existence was only exists the a moment for the history books. it's taking place right now in saudi arabia, us and russian representatives a holding tools and a host of issues from normalization of ties to piece ukraine. also to come the key of is bitterly understanding that the men's provisions are unattainable and that the new conditions for ending the hostilities and ukraine will be far worse for them. i turn told realities about the united nation. platinum is that i'm seeing that nothing can be achieved without kids participation. i thought that he failed to get some invite to the meeting in europe ones as well. it fits him to the school emergency tools in paris with some heads of states fails
6:01 am
to deliver and results. but they do convince hungry for brussels is the ultimate goal. we're seeing a gathering of pro war, anti trust, frustrated european leaders. we want to stop in agreement from happening on the international life of, from our h q here, and we'll go, it's just going to pm a welcome to the program. well, for our breaking news, i've had straight to saudi arabia because talks in the capital have kicked off between, you can see the 2 sides. americans on the left side of the table, the russian dedication on the right. and what a range of biological issues on the agenda it is, the actual mental view crane conflict that is at the very top of for a possible meeting between trump and pearson. while the cabinet says nothing is in the diary quite gift,
6:02 am
there is no clarity on the dice. have some preliminary assessments when emerge regarding the results of today's negotiation. but we will learn about this later after the dialogue concludes. as for rushes, commitment to peace, this position has been clear from the very beginning. and president putin has consistently reiterated in his readiness for peaceful negotiations since the 1st days in fortune. unlike many other countries, particularly ukraine, which has turned away from peace talks and europeans who have always talked about war and the need to continue the conflict at any cost, including the previous washington administration, which also supported the war until the last ukrainian. therefore, this commitment for peace has been evident from the start. it is important for us to achieve results. of course, we prefer peaceful means to accomplish our goals. additionally, pollutant has repeatedly stated that he is ready to negotiate with zalinski if necessary. or however, the legal formalization of any agreements requires serious discussion, taking into account the reality related to the possibility of challenging zelinski
6:03 am
is legitimacy. or the 2 sides have been talking for a bit of a 3 hours now. all political corresponding, equal pissed off on she's throughout to re out yesterday. and now gives us a sense of what we might expect to hear. we are currently in this improvise waiting area inside of the same palace where the negotiations are still continuing. i think they're actually happening right above us right there. on the next floor, we were allowed to get in that room for just a few moments and we saw rushes 40 minutes to elaborate. the residential envoy. you do, you will truck off on one side of the table and the us delegation headed by us secretary of state, marco rubio, on the other side of it. you do have quite a lot to talk about. it's been a long time since delegations of such high profile between the 2 countries and met
6:04 am
the relationship remaining. thoughts was already on the brink of collapse. and now this is definitely a positive sign that they are talking to each other. so of course, the conflict and ukraine is one of them, but both sides have been stressing that they are also going to be focusing on normalizing relations between the 2 countries. and of course, also preparing for the meeting between the presidents, between environment food and donald trump. we don't know exactly when that's going to happen. we don't exactly know if it's going to take place here in saudi arabia, but surely we will find out soon because the 2 leaders did agree to meet during that phone conversation, which happened a less than a week ago, is astonishing. the face with which events are unfolding less than a week ago. they, they, they talked and now we're already here in saudi arabia and the delegations are
6:05 am
already talking to each other. and like i said, it's not just a possible peace deal with key if that's up to discuss it. the issue of weston sanctions back 5 and has also been raised with american companies recording losses of hundreds of millions of dollars off to patching up that businesses accepting the russian market. so paving, the way for that return is on the table up supporting to one of the members of most, cuz it's kind of cation of react. of the can. i mean, is very important to discuss the joint economic projects. we will discuss joint projects for their assumption of dialogue in general, and will certainly move along the political track, which is headed by mr. lever off. and mr. lewis called respectively. and in the economic track, i have been assigned to leave and i believe that we will reach a mutual understanding. and this mutual understanding will be reflected in joint projects. for example, we know that a number of us oil companies want to return. therefore,
6:06 am
it is necessary to establish a dialogue in areas not only political, but also in investments in economics. on the one hand, we have some losses. and then the other hand, our economy is growing by 4 percent per year. and the european economy is either not growing or best is growing at one percent. therefore, many of our colleagues believe the sanctions on the contrary actually contributed to our economic growth. they contributed to our independence in our sovereignty. it is absolutely obvious that president biden's policy has undermined confidence in the dollar and is actually created many threats to the american economy. divided ministration has created a very wrong narrative. in fact, the sanctions helped russia become more independent, but they heard the dollar and heard american companies. many american companies have simply lost significant future revenues and lost their market positions. they understand that chinese companies are replacing these positions of american
6:07 am
companies. therefore, is very important to note that the by the administration gave a lot of this information, a lot of wrong messages. our dialogue allows us to tell the truth, the russian economy is developing well. and we also need joint projects, including, for example, in the arctic and then other countries is precisely joint projects that will allow us to be more successful. the policy of containing russia of limited and russia has obviously failed. and this too must be honestly admitted. i believe that there will probably be progress not in the long term, but in the next 2 to 3 months. the atmosphere in the beginning of the dialogue were set by a positive call from president putin and president trump and this atmosphere to hear each other's concerns. to understand each other, the by the administration did not try to understand russia's concern. it had its own ideological dogmas and positions. and what we're seeing so far is still very
6:08 am
early, and the american side is ready to listen to russia's position, ready to understand russia's position. and that's where the dialogue begin. let's all this is happening as the landscape on his own to of the region of the u. a. he had to, to, to kia for, to sent around an upcoming prison, a swap between moscow and t of i'm sensing of pools. the blue eyes are on we have right now why he is not on the guest list. so let's keep detroit muscle in the event saying that without you quite and at the table, the torques are meaningless. to say 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. in the meantime, washington's handouts, the key of seem to have been put on hold. in fact,
6:09 am
some report suggests that the us has told us ally, but it's now time to stop settling its debt with the number of $500000000000.00 being folks around. now to understand that scale bucks more than the reparations, but john many have to pay out all to weld $1.00. donald trump has previously suggested that ukraine could hand over its wet, of minerals, oil and gas resources. this one has some infrastructure, like ports. and as the demands on kids grow, daily rushes, i'm positive, you had noted that any shoot should do, will have fall was comes then had previously been on off in the way it's a moving team is literally understanding that the men's provisions are unattainable . and that the new conditions for ending the hostilities and ukraine will be far worse for them. certainly we didn't. we all see the developments after the entry into office of the republican us administration. as we have called for over many months, diplomacy has finally been actively brought into the game. regarding
6:10 am
e u. countries in the united kingdom are absolutely on faithful to their words. some of those they cannot be a party to any future agreement on the resolution to the ukrainian crisis whatsoever. present a european politicians are incapable of strategic thought or to view the divides within europe. don't conceal the fact that in the event of a ceasefire, they intend to re on ukraine and to prepare it for the resumption of warfare. ukraine today has irrevocably lost, not just crime media, but also the net scan. lugens people's republic, and the carson ends up rogia regions of the self proclaimed ukrainian presidents, a lensky loss legitimacy. last may, if you drag the country into a conflict for the advancement of others geopolitical interest at the cost of the lives of hundreds of thousands of ukrainians. lottie, unlike hauled invoice or shay to talk to contributor tar, ready to get a take on the state of us russian relations. the eventually will be a meeting between president trump and president pretend um,
6:11 am
so this is incremental and it's been described as the talks before the actual negotiations. i think it's a check in a lot of trusts was broken during the, by the regime, of course, between washington and russia. so this is a rebuilding of that trust to even have these talks. now is a lindsey he's been counting his chest because he wasn't invited, but frankly, it would have been useless to invite him because there's a couple of things with that. so when skis, the illegitimate president reprint. so when you're talking about wanting a lasting peace and legal documents being signed, how can an illegitimate president verify that? so, because the us was the primary funder of this war, it was a proxy word constructed right basically via ukraine, right? and left space that it was a money laundering operation for the buy and were same. but when it comes to concessions on both sides of love to know what russia is expected to give to the western side. because you know, no stream is being sabotaged. 350000000000 euros of russian money on the foreign
6:12 am
exchange is stolen is most functional country in the world. we've been knocked off the swift. there are probably any direct flights out of most go to any countries to roubles being pummeled. what is russia supposed to give the concession table? exactly, and you know, despite all of that challenge, rushes still groaned its economy as the 4th largest in the world. and the rubel actually is still holding on strong. so i think what you're talking about is you're bringing up some valid points, but russia doesn't know russia needs trusts to trust the west again. and in order to do that, there needs to be some concessions by the us. end of the biggest one was nato, right. they've already said and told me that clear. so to the department of defense, the heck is worth he's. he's said look, there's never going to be ukraine. part of the data. it's not gonna happen. they don't qualify anyway. and you know, remember when trump ran, he talked about dismantling nato. and so your opinion leaders are quite shaking in
6:13 am
their boots. and then of course, there was a bounce meant by both the vice president and secretary of defense saying to your pay, look, you're gonna have to pay for your own defense. the us is, is now, you know, we're not going to be your big brother anymore. you're on your own. yeah, so to speak, you pay the bill. look at the u. k. prime minister kissed on. okay. he's be, you know, he's been absolutely pro. busy for such a long time. now, what are the western press? spins that different lee, but kissed all over the 2nd. okay, we're going to send troops to ukraine. we're going to send troops to your crazy. oh, what a trump side. oh, now we're going to send troops to be a piece, contingent, inter ukraine, right? the guy, it's flip flopping off to saying we're going to support you credit for the next 1. 100 g is more weapons, more cash. wait, what? oh now it's peaceful. you know, i mean, he's kind of like blowing in the wind, that guy and you go to wonder why people in the u. k. tax paying citizens are so tired of him. when he bought pension it was, were freezing to death in the winter. could you sending money instead of the pension? is he sending it to ukraine? so you're, he's in a bad state, isn't that the 3 oil companies, b, p. show and,
6:14 am
and chevron have made a close to a trillion dollars. collectively since the war begins. so for them, this has been a boon. of course the north stream disaster also gave them an economic boom which was a, besides being a disaster, it was a work crime committed. and we know that the us, i mean that reporting was, was sorted out and that investigation was done that the us had something to do with that. yeah. so, you know, i think what trump is trying to do is okay under the biden resumes mistakes. huge crimes were committed mistakes or made money laundering happen. now we've got to entangle this and try to build trust again with russia. yeah. kind of happen. the one global pad, what's going on with show the developments and them at least is the in you a number of the books heads of state to gather in paris on monday for an emergency meeting. and they would try to come up with a game plan on how best to deal with washington shopping,
6:15 am
the tool on baron baldwin's in any settlement of ukraine conflict. but it seems the meeting failed to yield any concrete results, though it did prove to hungry of hardly the brussels is intent on finding the flags of all that there are those gathering in paris who have been constantly point oil into the fire in the last 3 years that are followed or failed strategy in the past 3 decades, you 40 countries that have continuously posed a threat, escalating the war with their policies today in paris, or we're seeing a gathering of pro war little anti trump frustrated european leaders to want to stop in agreement from happening on peace and ukraine value and contrast that we're supporting donald trump's efforts and the us russia talks which for european lead is seem to be at loggerheads at reason of what to do next. and the way feature not being able to come up with any concrete plans, despite the fact they met that, that emergency meeting here in paris,
6:16 am
that was an old european lead is no, it was just a select few me this of countries like poland from germany and also the u. k. being invited to low into that now the case prime minister kit, stall them up, put things together. plans to send peacekeeping troops to ukraine. that didn't go down well with everyone. but here's what salma was like to do. your must play its role. i'm prepared to consider committing purchased forces on the ground along side up as if there was a last in piece of agreement. but the must be a us back stop. because a us security guard said, this is the only way to effectively, to, to russia from attack. can you create a good? but okay, so let me say with god bless you ripped,
6:17 am
always he's going to need the us as a back stop. well too many cooks, boy the broth, that's what we heard from the us special and boy chief calla guntee. he might be white because they couldn't come up with a plan that they could all agree on. we have the usual folks like president macro and holding not meeting saying you needs to spend more money on defense stuff. also what we heard from this level and delay in the european commission president saying peace through strength. what she means is we need to keep building weapons and buying more weapons. and that of course, is music to the ease of defense contract is a germany's law. just defense contract to saying actually this is the entire reason why your opinion does, haven't been invited to that summit, the big boys summit and read between russia and the us. and that's because they have and funded that defense for decades. now, if you don't invest,
6:18 am
if you're not strong, they handle you like kids. if parents have dinner, the kids have to sit at another table. the us is negotiating with russia and no european is it the table, it is become very clear that the europeans, all the kids problems for minnesota all. so at the best thing that at some point you will have to send it from steve crane at possibly off to being requested by the united states to do that. and he was like, well, that's something we will need to acquiesce to. nature's chief saying europe is willing to step up to the plate, but again, new details and lots. the points. new details will agree sold in, not meeting in paris inside was need a stool that this was the gym and chance to all of schultz who said it is not the
6:19 am
time to be discussing the future. if you claim with that ukraine, this is for this for food, and it is completely premature. i'm completely the wrong time to have this discussion now and finish. i'm even a little irritated by these debates. if i have to say, people are talking here about possible variance of outcomes over the heads of ukraine is just about the outcome of peace talks that have not taken place. and with which ukraine has not said yes, it does not sound at the table ship. i think this is highly inappropriate to put it bluntly and honestly, we don't even know what the outcome will be. well, the meeting in paris was just a sideline. and so i go into what we don't know because there was some agreement made. and it seems that you will be in need is, are flaming, rammed almost like headless chickens. after the announcements that we've been seeing, coming up from the white tests. and you can imagine mostly this will be, have left paris. i'm wondering what is going to be the outcome of the tools at the
6:20 am
big boy table. i'm not 2nd place later today in the, at audio we were joined by funnel of guess about the ongoing talks and re add on the ways that you are a bond. ukraine might fit into page and i see that regardless of what b u. r b. and lee does want to go get you over to installed it a be a good, a mock up front doorstep by the trunk bed ministration story was us policy on i totally think these dogs, i think would be the weird for a meeting between us president donald trump and russian president vladimir, people to know that most of the brand new this done with the movie had really cool president drunk, donald trump's edwards, and the water you create. the new prime minister has said that the concrete cannot be found on the bachelor feed and that dialogue. and diplomacy is the only way to
6:21 am
bring police officials and brussels. they haven't even been invited to the salary towards where they've held an emergency luncheon and powers. i'm sure there was lots of caviar and champagne, all smiles, but they all are pretty panic, but i did have a frank brussels right now. it looks like it's been getting given a dose of reality from washington. what, what do you think is going to be brussels role professor in this? they don't have much choice, do they? they were a part of this war. they enable the war. they try to help bite and remain in power. they are a part of the team bite and they really can't expect anything else. but i think what is most important is that this the feet for the united states as your previous . yes, right. the pointed out is a result of the never ending warms in the finest on any rock that dirty war, syria and libya and elsewhere costs to across the world. it is weak in the united
6:22 am
states. it is a we can do it as we can. europe severely, especially the one ukraine, and this is simply unsustainable. the united states is the readings because it has no options, but the europeans are to fully understand that the, the only way for it is to end the war. obviously we have the munich security conference. so just this past week in germany, you saw europe. a lead is what, what i mean, the chairman of the security cameras, he broke down crying out the podium. i don't know if you sold that, but the, you know, the trim and officer blubbering, but he got a hug. at the end of it, he was feeling better by that point. let me ask you call. if i can. so lensky spoke about his delegation being the chinese team in munich, just for a moment guys, have a listen to this, please. it was terrible. uh, the meeting was with one the, the meeting was important. he also met with the head of my office. andre, your mind, it is important for us to talk and involve china to help put pressure on putting to
6:23 am
end the war. i think this is the 1st time china has shown interest. i think that this is largely due to the fact that all processes are speeding up. now regarding china, we've always said that we are ready to have the presence of serious players. but at the negotiating table, at this moment, there will be those who are ready to take on the responsibility as guarantors of security, with both assistance and stopping putin, as well as investing in the reconstruction of ukraine, that he's saying it's the 1st time, but china has shown an interest in helping to resolve the conflict. but if i remember they, they propose their own piece plan back in 2023. so lensky for guessing or is brain riddled with swiss cheese and too much contain these days. karl was zaleski, is grasping at straws right now because he has been abandoned by his main sponsor, the united states. now ukraine's act came like a jolted site check. the but china has always said it's for peace and they have proof set the peace proposal that russian president vladimir put and also said
6:24 am
would be interested. now, what were china could play a constructive though is in the post war construction. you know, ukraine is completely wrecked and there's not gonna be any money coming from the trump. administrator is what helps bill ukraine. trump already set you for a need to pay off in terms of minerals for all the us a he has received in the past where it's china is always interested to build infrastructure in places like you pray that will allow china to come next further to europe. through the duration language, as part of china is spelled in go initiative. so in that way, there's something you can can look forward to to the post war piece process. all final for this i was the night on sunday cuba tact, one of russia's largest oil pumping stations, causing serious damage to the facility which might take over a month to fix russians, deputy sec, security account some time and highlight the but the late to strike, hit infrastructure this past year and by various us on your pin corporations. well,
6:25 am
this is what the company in charge of operations or the crap can sky oil pumping station located in the cool cause. this region of coupon is the largest c p. c, oil pumping station in the russian federation, or shareholders of the international consortium, including representatives of companies from the us and europe. that'd be notified about the terrorist attack on the civilian facility by u. a. b's. this is a yet another terrorist attack. let's call it what it is which was executed by the key of regime in the early hours of months. a bunch of this time for then skis, militants have actually targeted american and european interest trends. and let me tell you why. first of all, the ukranian drones are filled with the metal projectiles and explosives attacks the facility which pumps mainly oil from american and european companies. fruit cause i started the boston scott oil refinery is the most important hub for the
6:26 am
transportation of oil for the caspian pipeline. consortium, also known as c p. c. it's located approximately 230 kilometers away from the port of northeast for which russian oil is pumped. so an accidental attack is absolutely out of the questionnaire because it's really far from any other fuel and energy facilities. now, as for the shareholders of the caspian pipeline consortium, well, they include international companies, the, where the us ownership and as 224 and quarter percent says $62400000.00 tons of oil were pumped for the cdc in 202411.7 percent of which came from russia and 88.3 percent from cars like starting now. zalinski is a behavior is well, really unpredictable at this point, especially the following, the events had been unix security conference, most going,
6:27 am
washington are about to begin their talks on the settlements of the crate in conflict. was the lensky is c, the left on the sidelines at the moment? so looks to be a loose cannon. if you will, mind you. even before donald trump took over the oval office, the united states had asked the lensky to limit his tribes. those too not to drive off port royal price is, well, trump said that the oil would play as leverage on russia if it did not sit down at the negotiating tables. and as he seems to have done just the opposite, in this case, he drove up oil prices and damaged the american interest as well. now despise it, as is a self destructive, ashton's. he continues to enjoy support from the european union, but the most of the officials there seem to be go more into the fact that the reactions of the key originally bar actually hurts in your opinions themselves. after all, the latest, the facts does indeed hurts european interest as well. oh no immediate turn. the
6:28 am
directory action from zelinski is european fans at this point in time, but we should hardly be expecting any reaction any time soon. because for the e. u officials, they're darling can do absolutely anything, as long as it hurts russia. while we are just getting warmed up here, this tuesday pen to move to come throughout 1000 special pools from re out. so do stop by that nation. the, [000:00:00;00] the
