trying to encourage him to be sure to double the both of the a leadership had a hand in the remaining and prosecutor's decision to open a case against the presidential candidate kalynn georgia school. that's according to russian intelligence. president 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 him. vladimir zalinski refuses to seek peace under washington's terms and faces mounting pressure to concede or step aside. as the us suspends the military aid to ukraine. hungry strikes again and its aiming for peace to budapest throws its weight behind trumps that says into a do you crane. and deluxe is a proposed 20000000000 year old military aid package from brussel to 6. yeah.

plus chaos grips. the serbian parliament has opposition. law makers life smoke, renee's protesting is sitting empties in the ruling count the i'm rachel ruble live in the russian capital. you're watching r. t international. brussels is on a war path against a european leaders who openly support us. president donald trump, that's according to russian intelligence services. it says the leadership, back to the romanian prosecutors decision to charge presidential hopeful talon, georgia school r t correspondence. charlotte dimansky has the details. the following shows ask you, this is the man who talked the 1st round of the presidential election in romania in november of last year. but those election results have been unknowns by remaining

is constitutional 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 russian interference. 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, you repeat and b were crap sort of declared war on known systemic need is these a need is that all conservative that have shown that they support donald trump in the white house. and these are leaders that refusing to follow the instructions that have come from brussels and this a suggestion that there are a number being told between including hungry victor open and also slip back as well

. but feet. so 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 romanian prosecutions office of essentially being directed directly from brussels itself. and from the top mentoring to the european commission, president goes to the land who is apparently demanded that everything is done to stop patrol jessica from being able to participate in that election to take place in may. so that, that isn't a re run of what happened in november. i'm not speak to the polls show today that is southern like she was held georgia school monday was seen as being a finished tons of it just a few months ago when, once again, because we have such change, the polls and we saw that supports out on the streets pay in bucharest on saturday

when thousands upon thousands of romanians came to the capital city to show their support to the candidate that is 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 of and what evidence there is a t h to change the quote on yesterday. this is what he had to say about lose 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 rushed 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 with some of the georgia screw supporters, including a previous presidential candidate judge simon, i've described what's happening here in romania as essentially making the country into a but not with public. also suggesting that you repeat and union has had it's the key thing is all of those allegations against calling georgia screw saying your opinion was hey, 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 paulo. and so many accusations now coming up against the european union. it's not the 1st time we've heard accusations like this, but now we have this incredibly strong statement from the russian store and intelligent services, saying that they have evidence that in fact, do you opinion on a slip on delay and specifically,

is behind this attempt to bring to mind, many romanian speaking should be that president down the hard lesson for vladimir is the landscape after biting the hand that feeds him as the us has paused all military age shipments to ukraine. the white house spokesperson told reporters that key of 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 blur. bloomberg and fox news also had its own segment covering that whole ordeal. the 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 if we're supposed to sign ukrainian rare, or minerals the last week, because according to trump, i mean, she feels like the u. s. has put tons of time and energy and money into ukraine, and it's gotten very little in return, so it's fine to make a profit. and this c o, according to the trump, is the best way to do it. there's the ukraine minerals deal now, dad, or can it be revised? what, which well i'll let you know we're making this space. you probably heard about it tomorrow night, 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, bite and 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 bill 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 is what makes america a good country? is america engaging in diplomacy? that's what president trump's 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. with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office. 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 is issue a check today's the year in no position to take what we're going to fail. you again

. the use of people seeing you gambling with world war 3 and what you're doing is very dis, disrespectful to the country, this country. i'm the you that to you are more that a lot of people say where they should have your big trouble getting an hour. so no, no, not a lot of talking, your country is in big trouble. i know you're not only know you're not winning this from the very beginning of the war. we've been long and we have sampled. i said, thanks. you have the wrong, these can we gave you the president, $350000000000.00? you will you 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 in the white house there. but it's not really that surprising that zalinski would have that kind of behavior. i mean, after all he's used to being to by the administration's golden boy is easiest to getting whatever he wants from the us government,

but the times have changed. and now the trumpet administration is saying that once he's biting the hand that feeds last friday, president zalinski was moments away from signing an economic lifeline. and instead, he put the cart ahead of the horse and he bits the hand that is feeding in the united states and the american people are tired of putting the bills for this war. president trump wants to negotiate a deal, and unfortunately, it appears presidents a wednesday is not willing to do that just yet. well, 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. this actually ready to negotiate and zaleski just does not seem ready to do that. on top of that, the landscape keeps talking about security guarantees. we heard from new case prime minister, recently suggested sending british troops to ukraine as part of that security guarantee. but some of us lice, president j d 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 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. i think 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. they secured in 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 any kind of the oval office insult 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's done to 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 a 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 keep an agreement to end the war is still very, very far away. and no one has started all the steps yet. we have the piece that we for see in the future must be just to honest and most importantly, sustainable to us and so on. the backdrop of all these events, we also heard from the kremlin spokesperson, dimitri pass 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 lensky and he doesn't have the cards. the suspension applies to all us military equipment is not currently a new crane, including weapons in transit, on aircraft, and ships so of or waiting for

a delivery from poland. military cargo to crane has already been cut off through a polish logistics of according to prime minister donald task. well, the full damage isn't immediately office. i'll be a since trump inherited a promise to delivery from his predecessor of nearly $4000000000.00 and weapons from us stockpiles. a crucial question is whether the us will cut off ukraine's access to satellite data are graphic here. so it's a disproportionate number. washington controls compared to other nations. while there is no formal word or you printing an official has hinted, that cube is scrambling to find an alternative military communication system in case starling systems are pulled from the ukrainian armed forces. we spoke to former defend security policy analyst, michael maloof, who says the ukrainian armies, capabilities are miserable without washington or their ability to uh, to uh they they to, to try and hold onto their equipment is, is very,

very difficult. they go through their equipment like crazy. i would say the, i'm ours, have been very effective. and certainly the tanks have not been resist the wrong. the equipment artillery 155 millimeter artillery shells. that's the smaller stuff is. and the immunization those that, that has allowed into and, and, and, and the, the, the, the various imbeciles that they, that they're able to use the drawings that they've been able to use. there's also the question whether they're star links will also be a will also be yes stuff. and that has allowed for very effective communication. so they've gotten communication capabilities and intelligence that they wouldn't have had otherwise. and the europeans been supplied. but the united states did so all of that could go away and then that will really bring the war to a to a grinding halt. very, very rapidly. i think for the us,

vice president says alaska needs to engage on that piece. plan details that washington and moscow are already working on the 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 going to engage in the process, look, there are details that really matter that were already working on with the russians . we've already talked to some of our allies. he needs to engage seriously on the details of the washington looking to knock vladimir as a landscape down a peg. hungary is. busy busy for cutting aid, same piece talks must become a priority. the administration of us president donald trump suspended american military aid to ukraine. the positions of the us president and the hon. gary and government align instead of supplying weapons and continuing the war, we must achieve a ceasefire and begin peace negotiations as soon as possible. i or as a debate heats up with washington hitting paws in europe. boeing to boost support.

a new pole reveals equally divided settlements among the public. well, a slight majority of respondents from various european countries believe more funds of flow to key of that into the enthusiasm takes a nose dive when they're asked if it's their country that should foot the bill. all right, let's cross now to senior research fellow at the global policy institute, george samuel a, a george hungry has been very vocal about it. support for trumps force for peace. why is this the outlying position among most european states? hungry is the one country that has consistently acted like the grown up in the room from the very beginning of from february 22 on hungary has urge the peace hungry has urged the europeans to go out and try and work something out with the president . putin and hungry has refused to go along with the, the transfer of

a more material through its country. it said that they will not contribute anything to the ukraine's arsenal and will not allow it's their true to be useful. all of us do a transfer will materials to your grades. so hungry has also been very much opposed to the use sanctions regime. every time the you brings full with in other around the science of hungry is always subject that so long before trump return to power hungry has been absolutely in the forefront of opposition to this war. yeah, we saw budapest blocks that propose 20000000 euro military aid package to key. if the, if all the unions states aren't on the same page about ukraine, why is brussels even pushing these collective packages? well, i think what the accounting on is that they will be able to apply pressure on hungry . they've done that before. that when it comes to some of the, some serious negotiations such as ukraine's like section to the e u,

which again hungry, had objected to that they found some way to get hungry on board. so i think that what the accounting is that they can apply pressure and hungry is it's a small country, it's economically vulnerable. and so if the e u of the class that well, you know, we're really going to cut you off from all kinds of uh, your bmw funding. they think it a long ariens we'll get on board, or at least we'll app stain from voting or, you know, just, you know, they take a coffee break as the boat is being taken. a majority of the european population does seemingly support continuing aid for ukraine. but they are less interested in having their own governments, increased funding. why do you think that is? are they just not facing reality of where this funding comes from? well, the problem is that the road is essentially an american protector of the europeans

. have been getting a free ride from the americans for decades. so when they say we're good, you know, we need to do this. we need to do that for ukraine. what they mean is that the americans do it, and that's why they talk to often they beat the chest and in the hero it posturing because they know that nothing much is expected from them. because they've never can never contributed very much. they barely contribute anything to their own military upkeep. they know that they were talking about the assistance the ukraine is going to be up to the americans. and i think that's really been the, the thrust of the, the trump years. well, you know, even, you know, long before he return to power in november, trump has said the nato is essentially an american protect trip these, these states, they, they do nothing for the united states. they do nothing even for themselves. they rely upon the united states, and that's why they like and say, yes,

we should do more for your grant, but you know, they might back. yeah. you know, don't know. i, you know, we, we don't have the money. i'm afraid. george, at the us, vice president j. the vance has been very vocal about his european partners approach to ukraine. i want to play a clip a 1st and then i'll ask for your comment afterwards. let's take a listen in the craziest part about this. sean is that sometimes you'll have european heads of state who in public will pop up their chests and say, we're in it with president zalinski for the next 10 years and then a private. they'll pick up the phone and say, we keep this kit go on forever. he has to come to negotiating table, so i honestly don't care what the europeans say in public what it, what i care is what they say in private it. yeah, george, what are your thoughts on that statement from the vice president or? well, i think that's a easily, he's been very honest, the europeans talk out of both sides of their mouth. so, but essentially they know that they themselves cannot do anything for um,

ukraine. and they know that it has to be the american. so when they make these public statements, you know, we gotta, you know, we have to do this, we have to do that for you crime. what they really mean is that the americans do it . so when they do, you know, who went to advance stokes about, oh, they pick up the phone and say this, the, you know, they were trying to curry favor with chrome. but essentially they kind of saying, we don't have anything to do to ukraine. you, you have to do it so that way, you know, we can do it. we don't have anything, you know, mean, and we're not prepared to give up on nice, comfortable, lifestyle, all 6 week vacations are universal health care, you know, uh, guaranteed um, unemployment benefits. we're not going to give any of that up, it's up to you. americans. just go ahead and do it. looking at the conflict at its current stage now 3 years in how this is a debate really affect the situation on the ground. what is very hard to know um, because at the moment its seeming lee that the europeans are going ahead

without the americans. i say, well, we can, we can do it. we're going to do all this. um, you know, it cannot be done. so maybe they think, but the trauma with only in the, in, in the last minute change his mind and it will support the europeans. i think, i think that's unlikely, but i think it seems like almost like they, they playing chicken and say, well, we're just going to go in that way. you know we, we don't going to wait for the americans. we're going to do dual this where you great, they don't have the capabilities to do this. so i think what they're hoping for is, you know, trump is mercurial and he will change his mind and say, okay, well yeah, you're right with going to give up when you claim we need to continue as before. i think it's unlikely, but that's, that's the only thing i can make sense of because your cannot kind of do this on his own. me right, well, wait and see senior research fellow at the global policy institute. george, send me all the george. thank you. thank you. on the chinese people as

merchant i'm getting sure and yes i can. sure to just not last on. i don't want to leave it because like, you know, i did about the obviously if i, you know, sign, i'm allowed to do it's not the 1st time we come to the front with the labs. but this time it all seems a bit unusual. god knows why, maybe it has to do with the overall vibe or the presence of kind of causes drugs. but actually for the 1st time since the s m, i started, we've travel head to make a film, not around the water side, reflections on it about its symbols and meanings. it does feel unusual, the
