are you ready to come along? the frenchman zalinski was moments away from signing an economic lifeline. and instead, he put the cart ahead of the horse and he bid the hand that is feeding a lot of her as the last day refuses to seek peace under washington's terms and faces mounting pressure to concede or step aside as us suspends military aid to ukraine. you should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them through the chickens and we've given them much more than europe in europe should have given more than us. because as you know, that's right there. that's the border. the end appears to be not for the collective west, the republicans. this is the us from long time european allies over your brain and many more issue. the democratic republic of the congo offers the us

a lucrative partnership to access the in bottles, nations and natural riches the r c. ones. washington support against the military accused of loading the central african country on behalf of neighboring rolanda and chaos grips the serbian parliament as opposition, law makers, light and smoke coordinates, protesting, sitting, empties in the ruling. can the from our headquarters in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. this is our t international, a hard lesson for a lot of my zalinski after biting the hand that feeds him as the us has paused all of his military age shipments to ukraine. a white house official told the media that kids must stop the war. as donald trump has directed, the president has been clear that he is focused on peace. we need our partners to

be committed to that goal as well. we're pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution. well, we haven't heard any public confirmation from the white house about them pausing a do crane, but the media sure has been talking a lot about it. we've seen it reported in both blurt, bloomberg and fox news also had its own segment covering that whole ordeal. united states is pausing. busy u. s. military aid to ukraine until president trump determines the trainings show a commitment of good faith peace negotiations. that's according to a senior trump administration telling fox this is not a permanent termination of aid. it is a pause. the orders are going out right now. the official said this in response to granting presence, unless he's conduct over the last week and his words over the weekend. this all comes as washington and t f were supposed to sign ukrainian, rare, or if minerals the last week, because according to trump, i mean, she feels like the us has put tons of time and energy and money and to ukraine. and

it's gotten very little in return, so it's fine to make a profit. and this d o, according to the trump, is the best way to do it. here's the ukraine minerals deal now, dad, or can it be revised? what works? well, i'll let you know we're making this space. you've probably heard about it tomorrow, and i so i'll let you know tomorrow night, but no, i don't think so. i think it's look at, it's a great deal for us because, you know, biden very, very flawlessly, stupidly frankly, gave $300000000.35 more accurately uh, to a country to fight and to try and do things. and you know what happened, we get nothing and what we're doing is getting that all back and a lot more than that. but that they all didn't even get signed at all. because before trump and zalinski could actually even talk about it, zalinski made a huge scene in the white house and got kicked out of the oval office. so what makes america a good country? is america engaging in diplomacy?

that's what president trump is doing. can ask you sure. yeah. okay. what do you mean? i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy it is going to in the destruction of your country. but he's mr. president with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office to try to litigate this in front of the american media. we're trying to solve a problem. don't tell us what we're going to feel. i'm not telling you the issue a check days the year in no position didn't dictate what we're going to fail. you again, really is a people seen huge gambling with world war 3 and what you're doing is buried this written disrespectful to the country, this country. and the you that to you are more that a lot of people said where they should have your coaches in big trouble. so no, no, get it done. a lot of talking. your country is in big trouble. i know you're not let me know you're not winning this from the very beginning of the war. we've been a long and we sample. i said, thanks. you have the bill on the scale. we gave you the president,

$350000000000.00 you we for your military equipment, then you tell us, i don't want to cease fire. i don't want to cease fire. that was with the a guy named bite and who is not a smart person. this is going to be great television. i was pretty shocking exchange and the white house there, but it's not really that's surprising. that's the landscape would have that kind of behavior. i mean, after all, he's used to being the by the administration's golden boy, he's re easiest to getting whatever he wants from the us government, but the times have changed. and now the trump administration is saying that's lensky is biting the hand that feeds him last friday. president zalinski was moments away from signing an economic lifeline, and instead he put the card ahead of the horse and he bid the hand that is feeding in the united states and the american people are tired of putting the bills for this war. president trump once negotiated a deal, and unfortunately it appears that president zalinski is not willing to do that just

yet. well, a lot of people in the trump administration are saying that they have to be able to speak with someone at the helm of ukraine's government. it's actually ready to negotiate, and zaleski just does not seem ready to do that. on top of that. so empty keeps talking about security guarantees. we heard from you case a prime minister recently suggested sending british troops to ukraine as part of that security guarantee. but you weren't vice president j events. he doesn't agree with that. he says that this rare earth minerals deal is going to be the best security guarantee that someone's can can get. it can't come to the oval office and say, give us security guarantees. we won't even engage with you about what we're willing to give up. that's been the ukrainian pastor when that pastor changes as president trump said, when they're willing to talk peace and the present trouble with the 1st person to pick up the phone. the very best security guarantee is to give americans economic upside in the future of ukraine. that is a way better security guarantee than 20000 troops for us from some random country that has

a photo of war in 30 or 40 years. the security guarantee. and also the economic guarantee for ukraine is to rebuild the country and ensure that america has a long term interest. you're not going to do that if you come to the oval office in salt the president and refused to follow his plan for peace. once he didn't say, sorry or anything, he seems to be hiding his embarrassment behind silence because he hasn't even made any official comments about that stunt in the white house. since that happened aside from saying thank you to donald trump on twitter. but like i said before, the trump administration wants to work with someone who's ready to negotiate, who's ready for a peaceful resolution to the ukraine conflict. and based on once the once the recently told western leaders in london doesn't seem like he's the guy for that. he says that piece is far away on the horizon. do you will do for the key and agreement to end? the war is still very, very far away. and no one has started all the steps yet. the piece that we for see in the future must be just to honest and most importantly,

sustainable. she us name on the backdrop of all these events. we also heard from the kremlin spokesperson, dimitri pest golf. were pointed out that no sort of negotiations between russia and ukraine can even happen before diplomatic relations are restored between the 2 countries. although none of that might even be necessary based on what trump has made cleared as a landscape. and he doesn't have the cards or the us vice president says zalinski needs to engage on piece plan details that washington and moscow are already working on keeping call tomorrow and said, i am ready to adopt your plan for peace. you can come back. i think that if he called and had a serious proposal for how he was gonna engage in the process, look, there are details that really matter that we're already working on with the russians. we've already talked to some of our allies. he needs to engage seriously on the details. all right, we can speak now to eliza mcneil or a veteran war correspondent and political risk analysis of elijah, great to have you on the program with us. what impact would halting us military aid

to cry and likely have on the battlefield? or thank you for having me. well, it does everything because uh, from 2020, to the defense secretary and going to austin, told us that the all 15 nations gathering in wrong stain, germany planning, conducting supplying, orchestrating the war in ukraine. and what did he ask? you didn't understand that he really believes that he is to stop in the west. well, inevitably because he was allowed to speak in front of the the parliament. he was the golden boy indeed because he was offering himself the country and you crying in full. and i guess says, but now with a different present in the there is a different agenda. there is no longer needed for more because there is a new president who wants to have haysman or so after squeezing the resources of

the country, the human resources, the ministry resources, and also the 3rd treat. now the aging you president was saying, now i want your natural resources. so what savings get didn't understand. first of all that you're, he's waiting and not the shadow your is being capable. we have running the war and the former yugoslavia in 1992 and we only succeeded to support the subs the garage and the boston. yeah, would you mind the very an age, but we did not manage to finish the rules without the americans. nato is america without america, zelinski doesn't have a chance to continue with the no resources in europe. your is incapable of defending. it says the industry is now. busy managing to produce enough what things to defend europe and the landscape is going to be cut out completely complicated

and understand the role of the game. there are reports that the training military could keep funding for months without further us military aid. if a zalinski does, in fact, want to keep this war going and they think the crane has a few months left in a i don't think your brain has days because it's, i remember been in april 2022 ukraine was just about to signing the deals. in east on board when bodies johnson stopped to ukraine from signing it because he said that the americans want the war to continue. now it's america, he's out, the dns will not continue this war on their own. nato asia, united states is designed by the united states. it is the one that was financing supporting, encouraging to ukraine on its own doesn't have one chance to supply several european countries. and the u, though, are pledging to massively wrap up military support for ukraine. is this just virtue

is signaling given around, economies are struggling if they can send a to to brain. why are they pledging to, to send more support to we've lost more than one trade in europe. and this will do it to this sanction that europe has imposed on russia. now in europe indeed is have a serious problem with the people. and for a 2 or 3 years ago, we've been told that it is a just cause it is a question off. he did not send the laws. it's a question of vine use and southern the the see they need to shift. now they all the one who carries the lensky who doesn't understand the and the fact that getting close to the united states, you buying your wings. so he and he's full, that the united states is going deductible ever. now we went to america with the

promise that europeans all going to support him. but morally, yes, they stand with him because they are in the same price that on the same problem all standing, the population that we need to continue. there's more but the americans today, almo profit, but your brain has dropped 20 percent. so this cherry tree, there is no point of view. grain recovering any inch. there is no points of crank. continual europe is musing financially at this time to stop it. do your opinions, understand that they called for a meeting of 19 countries excluding the baltics. we'll have a direct borders with russia, but then to, to note about how to support ukraine for them to continue the war with down the us . the reaction of that is key in the last 48 hours is clear, he is now begging to sign the deed that you went through the united states. and so he says, no, a width conditions of security guarantee. now he's ready to sign with valid

conditions without any conditions and without any demands because you are being told him without the united states, nothing can be done. right. we're going to live with our lives and magneer, political risk analyst and veteran war correspondent, elijah. thank you. a thank you that a summit of ukraine's remaining allies in london on sunday. the british prime minister pitched a plan to eventually deploy original troops to ukraine. but care storm are admitted . such an ambitious move will be impossible, without washington's support is willing will intensified planning. now with real urgency the u. k is prepared to practice with boots on the ground planes and yeah. together with all this, europe must do the heavy lifting. put to support pace in appleton and to succeed. this efforts must have strong us back to

a long time. western allies are drifting apart over ukraine. president trump has accused europeans of doing too little to bring security to their own content that says keep a sponsors across the region. want to keep it fueling the war, but it's all leading to an apparent collapse of the so called collective west. it should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them through the chickens. and we've given them much more than europe in europe should have given more than us, because as you know, that's right there. that's the border. if i'm saying they just, they were a lot smarter than joe biden, because joe biden didn't have a clue. he just gave money hand over fist and they should have been able to equalize with us. in other words, if we gave a dollar, they should have given what we gave the $350000000000.00, they probably gave a 100 it's official. the west is now divided. there is the united states on one side and you are on the other. and the black sheep of the family is no longer

russia. we should spend less time worrying about putting in more time worrying about migrating rape gangs, drug lords murders, and people from mental institutions entering our country. so that we don't end up like europe. this is shawna slay. it's a slap in the face to europe as it still recovering from that aspect meeting he had with vladimir zalinski. european leaders were shocked and appalled by the oval office brawl, some pets, things, the landscape and labeling trump and co bullies. while washington is trying to broker piece europe cents for him behind the key version, declaring its support for the war. so continue. maybe european leaders are still saw or over the us vice president's comments at the munich security conference, where he laid out what the been doing wrong. like suppressing free speech, losing control over immigration and refusing to work with a hard drive parties in office. and i believe deeply that there is no security

if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that guide your very own people. you cannot win a democratic mandate by censoring your opponents or putting them in jail. we heard very clearly during vice president balance of speech in munich, different examples of how these european partners and long time allies in many cases are, are actually implementing policies that undermine democracy. that shows that they don't actually believe in the voices of the people being heard and implementing anti freedom policies. we're seeing this in the united kingdom. we're seeing this in germany. we thought with a tossing out of the elections in romania. so there's something fundamentally deeper here that shows a huge difference in divergence between the values that president, trump, and vice president bass, are fighting for this guy. and friction is split out into different areas, jeopardizing the existence of major western organizations like nato and military alliance. that's supposed to guarantee world peace,

or at least peace for its members. the majority of whom are in your yes, as the you was, which is financing. most of them they chose means means that are no longer aligned with american interests, according to some like senator mike lee who has been begging the government to leave the blog sites in just how much it spends on a foreign goals and values. and he also wants the us to leave the united nations. in fact, is a leading a group of lawmakers who introduced legislation calling for a complete withdrawal. after all, the one is another international organization made up of several countries, among which the he was is again, the biggest spender, and many are starting to wonder why include a 11 loss. it's time to leave nato and the you in, i agree. as invested or to the un, i saw how the huge and wasteful you and bureaucracy took $19000000000.00 us

taxpayer dollars every year and used them to advance its anti us anti israel and pro terror agenda. this should end. it's not just about the money now. it's about the values which are no longer shared by europe and the us. something which was made very clear when the un secretary general didn't take washington's pro. israel stands against gaza and have lost several times. and this led to many of the us government wondering why it's even supporting the united nations. no more blank checks for the united nations. americans, harder and dollars have been funneled into initiatives that fly in the face of our values, enabling tyrants betraying allies and spreading bigotry with the d fund act. we're stepping away from this debacle if we engage with the un in the future. it will be on our terms with the full backing of the senate and an iron clad escape clause, actually is the trade war between europe and the u. s. and you have the perfect recipe for the voice or a separation at the very least. trump is going ahead with

a 25 percent increase in tires on your p, in cars and all things as he said. but i love the countries of europe. all countries, frankly, a little different, but unions been, it was formed in order to screw the as, let's be honest. the european union was formed in order to say, so that's the purpose of it. and they've done a good job of it. but now i'm president. the wasn't for them to screw anyone quite the opposite. it was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship as simple as that. as of now, it seems the long time allies differences outweigh any similarities with europe, and the us moving into completely different directions. now, while washington can afford the splits and the set to save a lot of money, the same time besides for europe as it likes the funding and authority that us

springs to the table. so it seems that in europe will have to make a tough choice, either back down or take a risk and go it alone. so i missed the deepening transatlantic risk that appears a somewhat unlikely figure. it has emerged as a messenger for the european union in dealing with an increasingly uncompromising washington. is that our website r t dot com for the full details on that, but plus 20 more stories, the central africa minutes route with neighboring rolanda. the democratic republic of the condo has appealed to the us offering a lucrative deal that it says will benefit both sides. a u. s. d r. c. partnership with not only reinforced supply chain stability, but also serve as a model of responsible and ethical resource development. one that aligns with american values in global leadership and secure and transparent trade. the moment

is ripe to deepen this relationship and formalize a long term economic and security partnership that benefits both nations presents and explicit gauge off at the c has indeed offered access to the country as minimal resources to the united states and exchange for security assistance to contact the into the city, which is related to the fact 5, the one that is known is that the d s. c. position significant is off. many rules such as bold to tack to them and cobalt. the democratic republic of congo is 1st in place 8 and 10 to the mining fund the we the like sort of one di, brazzel, nigeria, china as well. so the reserves from the d r c really can attract many of the wasted countries. a force in the office middle is being smuggled in to the one that illegally the d. c presidential spokesperson to nesa lama, saying that it's phone this failed deal offer and it doesn't really exist support.

it's also save that to the united states, and you need to buy minerals from the c directory instead of getting it from the one that ever listen to this. setting the record straight president, she said katie invites the us, whose company source strategic, raw materials from rolanda materials that are looted from the d. r c and smuggled to rolanda. while our populations are massacred, to purchase them directly from us, the rightful owners. and it's not just for the us, the offer is also extended to europeans and to all parties involved in sourcing smuggled blood stained raw materials from rolanda. echoing the same same to me is presence just because you criticized existing. you rotate negotiations. what to one to describe in the agreement that draws access to minerals like to and goals as an absolute scandal, the presence of his vac. those minimal, i'll be glad to come in. it's a publication and very bad taste for one that continues to hide behind the m 23,

which is why l do not talk to this terrorist group. my priority is peace. i want definitive piece for my country. for that, i am ready to put a pools on my will like desires on these people, save all these recent hours, but the president believes that this is the best solution for the conflict and begin with the offering. his people's resources to wisdom is, will help conbal is it to be seen with the emptiness city it has continued its evolves following the form of government and because of the capital of north and south keith, it is not to me too much resistance from the family and just a few days ago, at least 11 people were killed and 65 when did, when explosions rock to the city of chicago with the eastern d. c, during a riley for the into the city and so forth. is the united nation estimates that as many as 3000 people have been killed, many say the data

a tool is much higher than that. you also know that the total displacement in the entire region or rate is through to add some more than $4000000.00 companies before the latest prices, abrupt the casts are ups and the serbian parliament with fist fights and smoke grenades. taken over the opening session, a brawl started after opposition members challenged assembly president ana bernabie . ch z. a left party officials were denied access to the speakers podium to voice their support for student protests over a deadly train station collapse in november. the banners stating serbia will rise so that the regime will fall were waved, and the argument descended into pushing shelving and tear gas being tossed. 3 m p. 's were reported la, hospitalized with smoke, inhalation. one of them is said to have received a head injury from a sunburn age. the and the

verbal war is gaining steam and brussels against the european leaders who openly support you as president donald trump, according to russian intelligence services, and claims the u as alarmed new white house policy could week and long term economic and security ties. and that washington is relying on nationally conservative leaders such as romanian presidential hopeful calendar just due to the tools for change. all right, let's cross live now to our to correspondence charlotte dimansky. charlotte. what more do we know about russian intelligence? what is uncovered? when yes, that's a statement we just handled the russian intelligence services outlining how they believe your opinion is behind those charges. it will pull. that guy's calling shows. jessica, this is the man who talked the 1st round of the presidential election in romania in november of last year. but those election results we've been unknowns by romania is

close to official court just a few weeks later with these accusations of russian interference today that has been new evidence shows that in fact that they was rushing into favorites. and in fact, the promotion of his campaign being paid for by a pro european policy. regardless of that, jessica is now facing many charges, hey, in romania, as he attempts to run again in the next presidential election, which is due to be held in may. but russia's for russia's intelligent service, saying that this is european b were crap sort of declared war on known systemic need, is these a lead? is that all conservative that have shown that they support donald trump in the white task? and these are leaders that refusing to follow the instructions that have come from brussels and this the suggestion that there are a number being called between treating hungry victim open and also slipped back as

well. but feet. so, and of course that presidential comes that he in romania calling shows. yes. cool. now, russia's intelligent service, also going on to say that the charges brought by the remaining prosecutions office, of a sense shaping directed directly from brussels itself. and from the top mentoring to the european commission president goes, sheila land, who is apparently demanded that everything is done to stop to jessica from being able to participate in that election to take place in may. so that, that is, is a re run of what happened in november and not speak to the polls show. today that is, that election was held georgia school monday was seen as being a finish kinds of it just a few months ago when, once again because we have such huge support and we sold that supports out on the streets pay in bucharest on saturday when thousands of on files over millions came

to the capital city to show the support of the candidate, those who are just who has been in court this week. appealing the allegations against tim. she says that his lawyers don't even have access to the file to find out exactly what she's accused old on what evidence there is. i c h to change the quote on yesterday. this is what he had to say about those allegations against him. one, i am innocent too. it is a political case. and 3, i saw parts of the case on antenna 3, which we do not have. my lawyers do not have. we do not have the details of the case. that is why i would ask comrade prosecutor dancer rush forward. sure. let's go to give me that access to because i do not have the details. i will continue to tell you that it is a political case that has been investigated. i am innocent. we are moving forward.

we are the people. we are romania. it was some of the shows as to supporters, including previous presidential candidate groups. and then i've described what's happening here in romania as essentially making the country into a but not with public. also suggesting that you appear in union has had it's vicky fingers, all of those allegations i gates calling just to saying your opinion was a months ago in the lead up to the european elections back in 2024. also instigating and deciding who the candidates were that they wanted to be nominated and visited into the european parliament to many accusations now coming up against the european union itself. the 1st time we've heard accusations like this, but now we have this incredibly strong statement from the russian foreign intelligence services saying that they have evidence that in fact.
