[000:00:00;00] the, the u. s. is no longer sharing intelligence with ukraine, according to a fox news reporter site in the country spicy. this follows the white house decision to officially cut all military age. yeah, after donald trump public route with vladimir zalinski earlier today, i received an important letter from president zalinski of ukraine. the letter age ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible. donald trump announced as the you turned by zalinski who faced the shut down of us military aid . after he tried to lecture the american leader at the white house and the kremlin bowers to use every means possible to help resolve the a randy

a nuclear issue. but and says the process must be respectful of ron refuses to talk it through us resorts to drive. iran will not negotiate under maximum pressure with the united states. negotiation is a voluntary matter. no one can force another to sit at the negotiating table. the . i'm rachel ruble. this is our t international live in moscow. we start with breaking news as the us has halted, sharing intelligence data with ukraine. that's according to a fox news report, a referring to comments by the c. i a chief. the move follows a white house, suspension of military a to to key of a washington currently controls a huge disproportionate number of a key satellites. while there have been no formal statements that you create and

official has and took care of is scrambling to find an alternative military communication system. we spoke to former defense security policy analyst of michael maloof. it says, who says ukrainian armies, capabilities are miserable without washington. their ability to, to uh they, they to, to try and hold onto their equipment is, is very, very difficult. they go through their equipment like raising, i would say the, i'm ours, have been very effective. and certainly the tanks have not been resist the wrong, the equipment artillery 135 millimeter artillery shells. that's the smaller stuff is uh, and the ammunition those that, that has allowed them to and, and, uh, and, and the, the, the, the various missiles 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 stopped. and that has allowed for

a 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. well, this comes as a lot of our zalinski has told donald trump, ukraine is finally ready to seek peace and sign the proposed rare earth minerals deal with the us. the american later made the announcement during the 1st congressional speech of his new presidency. he also marked the democrats and especially one particular senator elizabeth warren, who insist on fueling the military conflict. if you want to keep it going for another 5 years. yeah, yeah, you usa, pocahontas says yes, but i wanted to stop. and meanwhile, europe has sadly spent more money buying russian oil and gas. then they have spent

on defending ukraine. earlier today, i received an important letter from president village k of ukraine. the letter rage, ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring last the page closer. nobody wants peace more than the ukrainians. you said my team and i stand ready to work under president trump's strong leadership to get a piece that last we do really value how much america has done to help ukraine maintain that sovereignty and independence. regarding the agreement on minerals and security, ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you. i appreciate that. he said, this letter just got it a little while ago. simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with russia that i've received strong signals that they are ready for a piece. wouldn't that be beautiful?

wouldn't have been says zalinski obviously had to apologize to some gratitude to the us who has been spending billions of dollars and sending it in aid . and he basically said he was ready for peace. i think zalinski knows he has no way out. there's no way if they helped on election, he would be elected. he is an illegitimate president. they do want long standing piece and you know, there's legal documents, they have to sign. and if he's an illegitimate president, that's problematic. so the years are moving now and the direction of peace is zalinski has backed down from his bloss that he held at the white house. you know, and you know, some things came out about that that he had met with some democratic senators. and now those democratic senators have been held under fire because actually that's a violation of us law to try to work for the, for a late nation before it. yeah. so it's very serious. so i think someone's,

he knows he fumbled and there's no where for him to go, there's but aids cut off the spigot is, is shut down, so to speak. and all the blustering from europe. it's really only great britain and france, the rest of the european nations are really not the coalition coalition of willingness . the storm are called it so. yeah, so we're looking at peace. i think it's going to be a minute. hopefully before easter to the democratic half of the chamber remained mostly motionless. routes from said to our speech while the republicans gave him many standing ovations. some of them are perhaps silently held up signs accusing tromping his department of government efficiency chief deal on musk of lying and stealing. one democrat, was escorted out of the chamber after he tried to have bolt from. last trumpet pushes zalinski to sit down for peace talks to europe is scrambling to be looked into the ukrainian peace process, or part time both the french and

u. k. leaders are looking to accompany is and let us get on another trip to washington. and that's as london's ambassador to the us is urging he have to commit to a cease fire and quote, the 5 the russians to follow. but other british officials have met. there's still no concrete vision for a deal. the research has to consist of united states and ukraine getting back on the same page and presents the landscape, giving his unequivocal backing to the initiative the president from is taking to end the war and to bring a just and lasting peace to ukraine. i think that ukraine should be the 1st to commit to a cease fire and defy the russians a to fall the well, no agreement has been made on walter trace. looks like we all working together with friends and all you can add, always to look at what is the policy to piece?

how do we create a lasting and durable piece in ukraine, sir? is that any short piece may become a pause that will simply allow boots in time to re um and then to re invade. to london and paris seems to present a united front while discussing plans to send peacekeeping troops to crane after the complex ends. but that unity only extends so far with the u. k. back and away from the french president microns proposed one month truce. this river surfaced after a london summon aimed at projecting european, the unified support for ukraine following bottom regional unexcused disaster is meeting with trump. all right, let's cross it now to a journalist and former british ambassador to is becca, stan at craig. marie craig did have you on the program with us. trump announced as he spoke to the us congress, that zalinski has sent him a letter saying he's ready to seek peace. the us present added, he's also received positive signals from russia. how close do you think we actually

are just seeing the end of this conflict after 3 years? well, i think we're actually getting quite close to sega and then to the conflict because i don't think a conflict is sustainable, that the united states is going to continue to fund it, beat up on top of which the but all, only ukraine in some light and this must be rock bottom amount. you can troops because the supply lines from the united states off the cups, they know it's only a matter of time before the nation effectively surrenders. and on top of which, that, you know, that with that the hundreds of billions of dollars in total of ages to ukraine, which is very difficult to cancel a lot of which has been stolen. and they live in the country with stainless spec adoption. so i don't think the military situation is sustainable,

fully contained an awful lot longer. i'm really, it's been for in these interest of the hopefully you can use the negotiate to piece steel as soon as possible. and i also don't think also has any serious interest in pursuing of the wall loan to towards what you might call a total victory. you know, it's not just as defined as aspirations uh, within the u. k. and then they are, they are limited. so i think we do have the circumstances now where we can, that will be helpful, but this terrible will show the finish. yeah, you're absolutely right. russia has been clear since the beginning about its goals for the special military operation at craig. the, let's get delivered a somewhat half hearted apology, expressing his regret over the showdown that took place on friday with compensated

bands at the white house. opinions really been split on who's to blame over that spot. it usually follows along political leanings. i'm curious of your thoughts. what did you make of what took place on friday at the white house? but certainly fairly unusual. but i think it's very important to watch the entire thing, which is you know, 40 or 50 minutes long donovan just lots for the last 5 minutes, which skip. i draw the my slate to view of of the end. go and don't barely explain. the continue the annoying behavior of the landscape in negative thing type of thing, but because put to him of a but you know, bad about how to know. so we go the bit, but most people. so it's unusual of course full. the substance of diplomacy to be conducted in, in public. i've seen diplomatic meetings often times of diplomats over 20 years and

not i've been in diplomatic meetings which are in supply to be the let's, let's move but tim doesn't unpleasant. the not for me. which would not public because, you know, you don't normally have a situation where you get into the substance of what you're discussing while the tv can, is it still doesn't it? because quite remarkable. it will sense possibly it's the facing because an awful lot of diplomacy is, is very dis, almost very often what's said in public. no. after a diplomatic meeting between 2 countries, there's always a public communicate issue to menu. so i will put it. so i've gloss very often these are completely on to that, but they often they just will. both sides agree is best presented to the public competitive relation that told what really happened during the meeting. so especially to abide human rights. he always finds, you know, business ministers are coming out to meetings with say, besides saying yes,

we'd be very serious human rights concerns. and actually they did no such thing. we're going to be to a body of the best say within the meeting, this of we think we're going to have to say this off to what's to out domestic audience. you don't mind? do you think so? it seems to be almost these to assess it. it's not unusual in the science of diplomatic terms, but but it to be public because especially of youth. yeah. as really must see tv and then trump certainly understands the value of that. um, it does seem like trump has riled up all of america's allies, or at least most of them. christy of freelance of the former deputy prime minister under justin trudeau has said that the british nuclear weapons can be used to protect a canada against a trump. it was quite an interesting statement. what do you make of that? the let's with dr. new it does, but it's, you're getting weapons come p don't be used device, american consent and corporation. and they helped actually very business and you to

weapons were supplied by the americans. and so this the doctor, by the, by the americans, what is called the craziness where we offer anyway. but we're talking about conflicts between new united states and canada and the u. k. but one of the things which i think has really upset the western powers of the united states. is it something his people have absolutely broken the for all to official political class and media consensus a by you came including, for example, they, they have pointed i, the ukraine, isn't that democracy? i'm just not just about the elections were cancelled. you know, the 11 political policies have been banned, including the policy but 10 seconds in my last parliamentary elections and the policy. but what i'm the most but one presidential election from use papers being

banned television and major stations cutting buttons. a church has been by the 2nd biggest church in the country has been bound to go to the claim, but, but, but this is a rule for democracy. so when denise ukraine is absolutely not a democracy, because it is not a book based on the emperor's new clothes, aptitude about this for trump administration, hopes that you know, all these narratives onto the, what's the world has invested a so much effort into pursuing and promoting these, these onto not attempts to cost a few of the us to say it's all starting to fall apart. you recently commented on a guardian article that was written over 10 years ago back in 2014 on the us dragging into the u. k. toward war with russia, i believe it was the late john pilcher who wrote this article. so now here we are 10 years later those roles have seemingly reversed with the u. k. trying to, you know, pull the us into

a direct conflict with russia. how would you explain that dramatic shift a genetics? not that isn't it? i'm and i should say that just um the drum pill. joe was a, a friend of mine and at the time he both that talked to go, i actually didn't, didn't really quite agree with him. i thought he was being over dramatic, but in fact, the people's items. i was wrong. but we not have the situation with the u. k. is doing this. it's the militaristic safer that thanks. i think you have to see this in pop in terms of kissed alma's political position to, to, because domestic political position. he, uh, his popularity ratings are as low as any prime ministers put that a big, you know, he's, he's being extremely unpopular and sadly, history to be submitted to visit us and buying the drum for the, you know,

rolls of gold. but generally speaking, best as a section of the busiest population that responds well to that, to it's a cheap way of gaining popularity to set them difficult to well with the, i mean, what would you say would go to what with the, with the idea of the business tommy is a by 70 percent of besides the video clinton unami, let me let him know besides progressing on it. uh so, uh this, this is all not starting plan the, the autonomy of my time then not going to will that be 1 pm. the defense pulling back to me idea of putting troops and u. k. so all is the same thing and belligerents but i think you've got to see it pop the in terms of attempting to recover the domestic popularity because it makes no sense whatsoever. and the bill will a daughter as low as he says,

he's finally ready to sign that proposed rare earth minerals deal with the us. what do you think made him change his mind because it was the intention that he was going to sign up on friday at the white house before that spot to place. do you think that he'll actually follow through? i think he probably will expect it's money if it made him change his mind because money is what makes print them is kolinski. do any of the uh the uh the idea of the flow of america money. uh well uh will and um is obviously that excuse me, what a one to the uh on the golf 2 whole days and you can because they've been living high up this american money for a long time. i've spent a couple of years ago for the winter 2 years ago, i say to the winter and the stopped in switzerland and the summer i was staying and

just on the roads. there was a bit of a chalet that costs $12000000.00, which have been bought put cash, bio ukrainian administer, who's official savvy was i think about $40000.00 a year. the, you know that the flow of tests, but it is what's most amazing. the zelinski to want to go back to to them. yeah. hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars per exit u. k has a 100 year deal with ukraine and supposedly that gives london access to kids. natural resources. i mean, how can ukraine a piece both of it, supporters as well. exactly that there is a specific clause uh in the uh you can, you create an agreement under which the u. k. m, u, k. not to set up a joint working group for the exploitation of the manual. this also is, i think a couple be fine, but um the events cuz promised the same minerals to an awful lot of people. but in

many of us mendoza come down to the control anyway as well. so i'm on, on top of which one of the strange things the battle this is you came by no means has the largest supply of the son in the world, but it's something like 748. and in that sense, the other countries like australia in the countries to which the united states has much easier access, which compensate and minerals available. russia has the same manuals available. china has the same in those available. um, exactly why this is seen as such a, you know, a hugely important development. i'm really not quite sure. plus, you would really probably be a man, and that's the minimum qual, with decades, and quite possibly 2 or 3 decades away from the full commercial exploitation of such minerals. anyway,

so this and the leaves are of the of the mingle wells has the solution to the conflict all what's going to provide be incentive for people to stop sign tonight? i, i don't see funded quite, quite call to comprehend. yeah, that's exactly what it, what i wanted to ask to, why do you think the discussion has now shifted to natural resources? went over the last 3 years. the western discourse really has focused on largely on the loss of life and military threats that this war has brought up. but now here we are discussing natural resources what, what, what explains the shift post that goes back to the site, you know, almost approach to diplomacy all the trump days in which is a transactional and is interested in in money. and i think the whole this of your credit is democracy business

a fight for democracy transaction. cool. all that now it's, it has as effectively been exploded. so once you left with the, you're left with a back to the results of that sentence. almost all bull since history of being a buffalo in effect, full of natural results. it's a so perhaps isn't some of the steepest one. but the, you know, the idea that these are worth the millions of people fighting for hundreds of thousands of people dying full is of course, obscene. yeah, with trump pulling back a to you, crane european countries are now publicly attempting to take initiative in the ukraine conflict. what could they possibly achieve at this point using as well, they could make the little mazda bit sound, so i guess they could. um they do provide a certain amount of minute t h 2 a to you. okay. um a lot of the bedroom,

bunch of stuff like ought to be shelves does mostly come from within the open union . they could, they could provide that to keep it going back to provide more cash uh, to lubricate the ukrainian government. makes capable going. i'm stave of defeats a little bit longer, but i don't think there's really much appetite for it within your be what would be interesting things as you're seeing a, a split between the feel like know the nice send us peons in southern eastern europe and you've got countries like hungry and slip back here, which are the which one of the tool in, in, in, in stay. but you've got a manian who was winning the presidential elections has been disqualified because he was against the war in the ukraine leading to appendix the beginning. and false, and cancellation about selection for

a while. but you was, you've got the kind of phased nationalist set, the bolts under blank wing of, of police politics advocating a, you know, fighting to death and actively join the meeting with we've joshua so, um you, you got just an interesting split that's opening between the bolts it, eastern europeans and other eastern europeans who, who all build these speaking against the will. there are some of underlying it is calling for re armaments, which would force the you to borrow several $1000000000.00. if that would only just prolong the war a little bit. what is behind this for? so i mean, what kind of conflict a 0 potentially gearing up for think did we come to the fundamental point? which is the kind that as a,

some of the putin as adult petula and the use of the, the, the munich analogy, the idea. but it's rough uh, gauge and scanned in ukraine. then they'll show which to comb code the whole of your, of the, even though i mean, that's simply fung to there's no evidence a tool to address or having the territorial convictions into your left. and then i'm quite sure that's a dozen times the territorial admissions into you. but if you listen to business politicians and you'll be busy, some newspapers you will see, but they are talking of russia having to be stopped in ukraine. otherwise, the, basically those who will invade b, u k. and some of us to lamely amone's us. and,

um, but with that being consulting to go. so i don't think russia but has the, the ability even if it wished to, to fight its way to pull together in states and indeed speaking not to the uh to them, but this, this case. and this has taken hold of the political and media closets. and it's based on 2 to to, to go to full stuff. the 1st one is believing that putin is like kids. let them actually wants to come to the world was peace and those moods that have to come to the world works whether he's not pursuing some of my goals. he's just found to be the measure of decent government to, to invest some people. and the 2nd mistake is believing that dresser is militarily big enough to be upset to the hold of you of that anyway,

which claim the bus it is not so but that's been that a tip. it's been pushed and the course again, it's all to do with popular honestly, i'm just the do with the fact that the military industrial complex as historically, always been the best and easiest way for politicians to access corrupt, pick back. so it's always goes back to money. all right, we're going to live with our journalists and former british and bastard too, is back us down at craig marie craig. thank you. thank you. i'm turning now to the middle east and rushes and assistance that the iranian nuclear issue must be resolved diplomatically the kremlin spokesperson wait. in the following media reports that vladimir putin couldn't mediate talks between to ron and washington, a substance so far, there's only an understanding that the russian position on the problem is that iran's nuclear dossier must be solved exclusively by peaceful, political and diplomatic means. and usually we believe that there is potential for this, since the rain is our ally and

a country with which we are developing complex, mutually beneficial, and usually respectful relations. russia is ready to do everything possible for this. the u. s. knows this is the kremlin as spokesperson has not the director confirmed the spot, the crumbling spokesperson has said that putting in the house said the president, put in as always, support a diplomatic solutions and means to resolve issues between up to one and a washington and according to the kremlin and spokes person is subject to present putting as always support as such a think. and also donald trump, according to new sources, has expressed willingness to talk all these issues with your one on this, asked present, put into and mediation between the a one and the united states. and he has expressed his interest in talking to you one on all of these issues during a phone call with the president, puts him back in february,

and also via his representatives during a high level talks in re alls, between the representatives of a washington and musket also, according to the russian presidents, advisor during the talks angry, all saw the 2 sides of washington. the most kind of degree to hold separate talks on you one above the time. and the formats of the negotiations is yet to be decided . he ran a foreign ministry spokesman um on monday in a press conference in response to a question regarding a fall, a rush had offered any kind of a mediation between the one in washington to to have one on washington said that's definitely that's quite natural for countries to offer assistance, loan money each other or given the significance of these matters. it's possible that many parties will show goodwill in readiness to help with various problems. iran's nuclear issue has been discussed between russia and the us as an

international issue. but what matters is that whatever is to be done about iran's nuclear issue, will definitely not be done without your rants. opinions about the, our russian friends are fully aware of that issue off the door and meanwhile it was the government as folks a person um is this punch in the ma jerone has said that's a one that does not reject negotiations with washington. absolutely, but it rejects negotiations. andre maximum pressure attached to fish or add that iran will not negotiate under maximum pressure with the united states. the meaning we will not negotiate under pressure and threats. guess negotiation is a voluntary matter. no one can force another to sit at the negotiating table. it is a conversation that must take place between individuals and ultimately lead them to a goal. so it is voluntary, not compulsory. and naturally, we will not negotiate under maximum pressure. iran isn't willing to witness the
