or the russia has become, as i speak to you, and for the years to come, a threat to from and to europe. frances president rumps up the rhetoric against moscow in a telephone line is the address going so far as to suggest expanding parcels nuclear options to determine who's in the russian brand for the remarks. commas, washington, the 9 says it's no longer sharing intelligence with ukraine, leading to a deepening spot with brussels. it follows the white house officially holding on another tree. for a lot of years, events, these disastrous oval office meetings with donald trump and russia phase. and if it's done, did that is real them, but things in most going to have aren't reporting on ukraine's renaming of the streets in honor of and in for this world war 2, not receive collaborator,

it's really foreign minister responds by stating you look into the we will check in and if there isn't a necessity to publish condemnation of the broadcasting from our international news hub in russia is capital city. welcome to r t international. let's get into our top story. and it is breaking news in a public address on wednesday night french president, that money will my call and declare the russia. it poses a looming threat to vote fronts. i'm a constant, a large and is willing to put its nuclear deterrent in play a municipally. so russian threat is here and affects the countries of europe, affects us. russia has already turned the ukrainian conflict into a global conflict. it has mobilized north korean soldiers and

a rainy and equipment on our continent. while helping these countries to arm themselves. small russia under president putin violates on board is to assassinate components, manipulate the elections in romania in moldova, and it is organizing cyber attacks against the hospitals to disrupt their operations from russia is trying to manipulate our opinions with lies spread on social media and deep down it tests our limits, it does it in the etc, in space and behind the screens. this aggression seems to know no boundaries who can therefore believe in this context. russia today will stop it. ukraine. russia has become, as i speak to you and for the years to come, a threat to from and to europe. this thing quite a be strong woods and not speech from a manual black hole that was widely tempted by the press not just in front, across europe and listening to that. you could a sense that he felt that you repeat was essentially going to have to go way to loading and have to not see the us be the, to essentially support it. and he talked about the events to the shaking the world

order at the moment. essentially the idea that the countries, when the biggest economies and the biggest mike could decide to do what ever they won't do, regardless of how others failed. she said that the needed to ramp up defense spending. now let's be clear. this is not the 1st time that i'm not going to set that. in fact, she has been saying that you received it. so know me. it needs to ramp up defense spending all the way since she was supposed selective back in 2017. but now these would sort of resonating with the of the european meet this. we know that as level glen you were paying commission present as also talked about ramping up defense spending. and you were saying that essential york needs to be like a still poor pine that can deflect others that come to it of emmanuel, my called in that speech also saying that it was import. so you just continue supporting ukraine in these uncertain times. and as you heard in that clip, that's once again suggesting that the only aggressor in this situation is russia

and that you, russia continues to be a threat, not just the fonts, but for you as a whole. he said that russian was still into feeling in other countries and he mentioned them on the hello. so remind me of the country. i made up the movements in the capital k through crest, and he said that the needs to be peace, but russia cannot be the one that dictates those terms on when it came to defense wasn't just talking about re militarize ation. the specifically mention front says, you clear the cache of weapons saying that was a deterrent, because this is all new create and to put the, our nuclear deterrent protects us. it is complete solver in french from start to finish, since 1964. and it has explicitly always played a role in preserving peace and security in europe. but responding to the historic cool of the future german chancellor, i decided to open the strategic debate on the protection by all determines of our

allies on the european continent. whatever happens, the decision has always been and will remain in the hands of the president of the republic, the head of the armed forces. it'll be interesting to see how that remark is digested by the press in europe, because whenever we have heard about the new play, to turn in russia over the last few years, that has the needs immediate remarks that russia is looking to essentially send a new key and for me to another part of the world. so it would be interesting to see how much cool referencing from susan, you to, to terence, done with the press in europe and indeed the united states. and i suggest we can take these comments in a vacuum. it must be seen without bach rolling to the growing risk that appears between the us out of europe on the ukraine conflict. right. a steps. that's why i mean, we all need to sing back just a few days ago. i think most of the was, was watching that press conference in the oval office between the president from j

defense and elusive as the lensky of you. quitting with your own, the full because it really was a historical moment of complete and utter disasters most when it came to diplomacy . and since then in the last few hours, we've had the confirmation that the us is now we stopped sharing military intelligence review credit. and i think that says, gosh, choose your mind in regards to how foolish relationships are at the moment. michael, i'm saying that europe needs to be ready if the us pulls away and michael, rolling back, then i'm not saying all you know. well, we know that trump wants to put these terrorists on us, but they don't. good for us. will continue to speak to him, but clearly he is concerned that the white house and donald trump is moving in a very different direction to what we so under the by did an administrator and then he is now giving a clear mooning to you that you are a century needs to pull, it soaks up and it needs to essentially stand on it. so, and he saying, you know,

that essentially as europe is gonna have to go it alone, because once the piece is signed for ukraine not to be invited by rusher, again will certainly require long term support for the ukrainian ami. it may also involved the deployment of european forces, and i want to believe that the united states will stand by us, but we must be prepared if this is not the case. whatever happens, we need to equip ourselves more to raise our defensive position for the sake of peace itself to the, to we need to do more strength in our independence in terms of defense and security on the future of europe does not have to be decided in washington or in moscow, unless think if you heard what michael was saying, you'd think that all of the pod stuff is coming from washington or even from the kremlin itself. but let's not forget in the last few days, the russian for an intelligence service is released information and it says the b u is behind some of the events that we've seen taking place here. romania with the,

the, a central attempting to stop one candidate choose from trump, from running in the presidential election here in may. but also that the you is massively concerned about those leaders in europe who are proved from, from like his way of doing business on this specifically mentioned, victor open is hungry and also robot feet. so offices lock in. interestingly enough, victor open is that the lease a palace in paris right now, having a self, but with president macintosh, the stop button bostic speech. and that is a head of an e. u summit on thursday when only does will come together to discuss the debacle. and of course not moving away, not pulling away olsby us from europe when it comes to the big issue of not just ukraine, but also issues like terrorists. well, hun gary and prime minister victor or bottom saves the you will not be able to lead

your train to victory on the battlefield with item or it can support. and the piece must be the priority. if the warring parties failed to defeat russia and help ukraine when in 3 years, when the americans were still on the side of continuing the war and now the americans are no longer there. therefore, the pro war camp is much weaker. why do they think they can win this war? now? i would like to get an answer to this. what makes the positions of the french and supporters of the were justified? earlier i spoke to some french this on the money on my trans come boss of comments earlier on what may be behind them of all these people now playing the very bad game because of no one of them are completely definitely best showed that the on the right way. and so the trying to to, to gave some information august, no information, best stories to that could use countries. but of course, a huge fan union is not a military union. and could, can seen from the,

from you can and from suite which are nothing the same as the ends. and so. ready there is no reason for, for. ready ready for, for feeling about that, and of course there are 2 camps in france and as those who say that russia is not able to, to catch over the territory is which of any baby by the koreans. and on the other, on the other side there is a can with that say that's the you're, the person, i mean is goes to pass the syllabus to feed and the people are fed up with all these kind of things. reason why they're doing this is not ready to go to war because i don't think the european armies have the means. i know a lot of french military today. what they're watching or video is coming out of you create in the rush up every day because they don't know how to, how to, how to go into battle field today. they don't have that training. so they're, they're, they're quite concerned that they wouldn't go to war. and especially if you kept the number of warheads, i mean, russia out numbers all of them together. so i think what is important is just

underneath that, they want this as an excuse to get more money to go to the markets, to get money to bit out their economies. it, let's not forget that with that, i mean it mental math concept. 2 things interesting tonight, he said, we've got a special appreciation of truth that he's, he said it himself. truth is whatever he says he doesn't believe in truth. he has the special vision if truth. and the 2nd one is, he said, even if piece arrives early in ukraine, we still have to build this great military. so he's on the war mongering side. he wants to go get some, some of these 800000000000 euros for war. 800 dealings that nobody in the you got to fight against poverty, to fight for education, to fight the closer to protect our borders. none of that came for many good reasons . and now the war is supposed to be this, this great reason it's, it's a, it's preposterous. just throughout the earlier london and par, us present to the united front while discussing plans to send peace keeping troops to ukraine after the conflicts. and,

but that unity only extend so far with the u. k. backing away from president microns propose one month cruise. well, berlin say's its ability to deliberate german weapons. the key of is already stretched to the marks a 0 sum, as you know, that there have already been deliveries from the bundles of air to ukraine. but their natural limit has been reached. after all, in the context of the new framework conditions, we need to increase our own european defense capability. germany is not in a position even physically, never mind, politically better in mind. the coalition of uh, the new chancellor will be a very precarious one. and he, in fact uh, is dependent on the pop, the all power schultz to even be in government at all the collapse. so the center in the election results in german, they were such that politically,

germany is really and feeble debt to late, has pulled out of what you might called the london track, the one called to the, to by key or star. my, i don't think and i speak from a historic experience that the french will be a major military play of. they haven't been before chased out of west africa just the other week in, in total. and uh, of course, in 1940 they, they folded like a jeep 10 and surrender, leaving bridge on the last month standing. so i don't have high hopes. so the french military independence, the polls upset. they will not be sending their forces to ukraine. so really storm are is up the creek without a paddle, as we say here, because britain only has 74000 soldiers, only has a 140 tags. russia has 9000 tanks on 9000000

men and half of our 74000 on the front line, come back troops, their hair dressers, and, and the ambulance personnel and firefighters and clocks on type us. so there's an element. i've got to tell you of complete unreality saturday out about all this posturing in your to george galloway as well as c i. a chief has confirmed that the us has hold it sharing intelligence data with ukraine. the move follows the whitehouse suspension of military a to get my colleagues donald quarter and rachel ruble. talk through the details right here. while it's official, the c i a is finally pausing military intelligence or uh, sharing with ukraine. and this is something that we heard from the head of the c, i a himself, in the appearance that he made on fox news. can you tell us anything at all about

the intelligence on ukraine and russia? sure. well as what the president trump said is, he asked for a pause. president trump had a real question about whether president zalinski was committed to the peace process . and he said, let's pause. i want to give you a chance to think about that. and you saw the response, the president zelinski put out a statement saying, i'm ready for peace, and i want donald trump leadership to bring about that piece. and so i think on the military front and the intelligence from the pause that uh, that allowed that to happen. i think will go away and i think will work shoulder to shoulder with ukraine as we have so done. what does this mean for kids? what washington controls the lion's share of strategic satellites and space and for the longest time they were used to provide the ukrainians with critical military intelligence. but with these recent statements from dc, i directed the ukrainians are scrambling to find an alternative. and also we have to understand that this initial refusal by vladimir as

a landscape to sign off on this rare earth minerals deal that trump has been trying to push through for the longest time. this is also raising the possibility of basically the united states in you on most specifically cutting the ukrainians off from the star link satellite system, which would be catastrophic for the ukrainians who are already facing the feed after defeat on the battlefield every day. it, so does this follows another significant move, of course, that pause and sending military aid to keyboard or the chances they will get this back on track. well, this all came, of course, after zalinski is fiasco in the oval office last week that it was obviously offended washington and the trump administration. pretty bad. but trump, administration officials seem to be trying to send the signal to the landscape. it's not yet the end of the world for a health physician, which i think if we can nail down these negotiations and move towards these negotiations, and in fact, put some confidence building measures on the table. then the president will take a hard look at lifting this pause to. now this also comes after zalinski seems to

have bought just from his former hard line position on all of this because he's told donald trump that he's ready to sign off on this route, or if minerals deal. and he's ready to negotiate something that the u. s. president was more than happy to hear were beginning of the earlier today i received an important letter from president zalinski 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 the sovereignty of 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 is at 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 happen. now, who knows? this could be a stepping stone to this highly anticipated upcoming meeting between donald trump and waterproof. okay, another headline story space really foreign minister has claimed ignorance after it was pointed out to him that kid has been renaming streets in honor of a nazi collaborator, giddeons are promised to look into it. a good one.

and i, i did the 1st of all, i didn't know about it, i would check it. and you know, that's probably know, you know, from know that because it has dest bus, it's your knowledge that's, that's clear. but we will check in and if there isn't a necessity will model you should come to me. nation no problem about if i want to check it and we'll do that. yeah, we reached out to these really for ministry, i'm asking if they followed up on sar statement and if it's ro, plans to issue any condemnation, but so far, no response. and yet there is no shortage of evidence. in the last 3 years, at least, ukraine has renamed treats avenues and squares of to figure is tied so nazi crimes likes to fund bundle. everyone should have a tool, petro, it'd be a chunk of all involved and work crimes, holocaust atrocities,

or ethnic mass occurs. the latter was even personally awarded the iron cross by hitler, hard to believe the top diploma of a country founded in the aftermath of the holocaust, representing the jewish people. who were the primary victims of hit? there was genocide, was unaware of this, or was it just inconvenient to address versus for ministers? folks? person has whole dial star statement question. and how is really the end of things, both in key of ukraine, animals, because russia who have failed to report these facts back to jerusalem. the facts are not, say, not new. and certainly not hard to verify. the russian ministry even compile the total materials on the issue, addressed directly to get it on sar in english. but it's been just negligence. so part of the road of parking because while is rose for ministers days and where it was silent on ukraine's glorification of not sending figures, voices within israel's own political circles are openly using knots and rhetoric, his israel's vice. because parliament referring to palestinians from gaza as sub

human. take a listen. but the, during our meeting with european and arab states at the parliamentary assembly of the mediterranean, it was obvious that no one wants to palestinians. everyone justly pushes them into israel. they might know why didn't egypt take the when it made peace with israel? no, it's all the time because it didn't want the egypt knew. it would have to deal with sub human scum who behaved like barbarians showing. nobody wants them, but that's who sub human is come. that's not just the human eyes and language is a term directly tied to not see racial ideology used to justify mass extermination . and yet this isn't as really empty. so when israel's foreign minister claims ignorance about ukraine, glory find nationalist with a not to link past. it raises a much bigger question. this is really the know where these things brought because it allows the same thing, the same rhetoric at home and dangerous precedent and still no response from these

really foreign ministry. we're waiting. what are the leaders mentioned in cairo on tuesday to adopted a gyptian plan for gals as reconstruction. it's implementation. busy costs $50000000000.00, but there's not suggest displacing promise to means in contrast to donald trump's, of gallons or with the or proposal. israel has rejected the move, accusing regional neighbors of using the flight of thousands for political for 77 years. arab states of use palestinians as poems against israel, condemning them to a tunnel refugee status. now with president trump side, if there was an opportunity for the guidelines to have free choice based on their free will, they should be encouraged. instead, arab states have rejected this opportunity without giving it a fair chance and continue to level baseless accusations against israel. when a different political scientist on research and my ged buttress told us,

he believes the displacement of palestinians as part of a bigger is really plan. a as a is any part of it, but it's doing it directly and will it be a part of the independent palestinian state, the historical map of israel, and they want to have uh, the $36.00 the is waived in, in parts of the parts of living in parts of jonathan and parts of egypt. so that is collected, you can the on long term plan it distracted you to expand with a great that is what the trump administration gave them a free hand to see what the different plan even from in says, says in one of these press releases as well. as having a very narrow eh, directory, now they need to respond. so piece,

giving them the free hand related to the the idea is continuing with its sweeping rage and the west by expanding to additional neighborhoods of janine city, the palestinian red crescent society sites for people who are injured some by live amo, and others hospitalized. after a legit be things, israel's kicked off it's military operation in the northern westbank last month the following bulldozers and for the 1st time tanks to the area of palestinian human rights groups say this year so far has already seen nearly double the amount of westbank properties demolish compared to the same period in 2024, across our thanks. estimates thousands have been displaced from all the best journalist. i'm coming to them home in the jeep point sites. israel settlement plans also prohibit residents from rebuilding their homes. that is the lowest back . i know they are 670000 sits like this. i want to see me doing better studios on

this. if you want to show us the forms, i'm about a custom fit for the scene as an extra one. if you go to the most of the respective discount janine apple cutting door shops, you find that to the assume that they put the some ex media aside and jump value. and then the guns are they don't as homes get out of the people and allowed him to go back home to rebuild. toyota was stuck to their homes. actually one is the all wheel drive. they've got a senior visit us off of the oldest back area. see, which goes to a 6 to dress up of those back to and all the way to control it to a construct what they bought, a special a homes on the clinics on a school. if someone will start to build a very going student that's hoping to widely during the last few months and this also, and that's why the government now moscow has reiterated that the are really and you could have issued must be result diplomatically follows media reports that allow them or puts it could mediate talks between to run and washington. the substance

i've got so far, there's only an understanding that the russian position on this problem is that iran's nuclear dossier must be solved exclusively by peaceful, political and diplomatic means. if we believe that there is potential for this extensive rain is our ally a country with which we are developing complex, mutually beneficial, and usually respectful relations. russia is ready to do everything possible for this. the us knows that. remember, good man. well, the kremlin spokesperson has not directly confirmed that, but said that putting has always support a diplomatic resolution of differences between a want and the united states. according to new sources. you as president, donald trump, himself asked preteen to mediate. he expressed interest in talking to you one about all these issues, both during his phone call to poaching back in february and via representatives of the high level us are russian meeting in re off just days later. moreover, the russian president adviser has confirmed the during the meeting and resolve in moscow and to washington,

they agreed to conduct the separate talks on your lawn. however, the time and format for such negotiations is yet to be decided to the reigning foreign ministry spokesman smiled. the, when asked me for russia, had offered to mediate between $101.00 and washington said only it was natural for countries to offer their assistance, loan money each other. 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. so what matters is that whatever is to be done about iran's nuclear issue, will definitely not be done without iran's opinions. our russian friends are fully aware of that. meanwhile, everyone's governess, spokes woman faults and them a 100 or one is said that he want does not reject the negotiations with washington . absolutely. but it rejects negotiations under maximum pressure. what type of fish or add that they, ron will not negotiate under maximum pressure with the united states,

meaning we will not negotiate under pressure and threats. 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 insults that the ukrainian government inflicted on their president zalinski. so negotiation is voluntary, naturally, our approach is to negotiate. if it is honorable, a model which happened was all trump condone to the maximum pressure policy on your warranty or in his 1st or mean office. maximum pressure campaign is parts of the trump administration's efforts to force to walk into negotiations, bringing you want to spoil exports to 0, and reducing its original influence. the rain and officials have on numerous occasions announced that the maximum pressure campaign is a failed policy. during his 1st term in office, donald trump,

unilaterally withdrew from the train. celia back in 2018 us president, donald trump returned to his maxima pressure campaign on the wrong last month. just week sanford must go and say, one signed a landmark, a strategic partnership. agreements, problems, executive orders said that washington woodrand pop the sanctions on avon aiming to disrupt its so nuclear program, conventional initial deployments and, and that's work off of so called original proxy groups the science side, a lot of issues to resolve including nuclear deal sanctions and us how to use real, a 16, a balanced approach. death respects its sovereignty and ride sondra international law. say one does not trust the west, but if russia is a guarantor, then the deal has a chance of survival and not as a rough for the mid week use run up, keep an eye on or social channels them for updates analysis. i'm plenty more besides reverie. see that screen on black. our team will go to that us all them by

the the, [000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to the cross talk where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle is the clock ticking for ukraine's former president zalinski. it certainly
