foreign minister on his us culture parts have spoken via phone washington's request by the mirrors, lensky fumes of the ongoing dialogue between the 2 powers. if the dialogue will be in such a manner, which now demonstrates united states to rational pricing. yes. so we are not very happy with it. to be honest, but this is part of the same figure. also pushes for the european army to be created, saying those troops can then be deployed in ukraine. i really believe that time has come on forces of yours must be created. an account with a key have reportedly turns down an american proposal for a promising continued a money provided key of allies, the countries natural resources to be shipped to state side. such a deal is increasingly being pushed by telling us officials i think that is when, when, as the american people have a stake in the recovery of ukrainian economy poses con port. and we will go to the other side of this concord than the, the us for sharing the benefits, the regular catching the program from today across the world. welcome to most school on the mobile user on and off on ou

so lensky is already given away the most important thing. he sold his soul to the devil to ask for the issue of rare earth metals. the resources that are located on the territory of ukraine from work today on the territory of domestic lugen skins, upper regia regions. and this is not an easy question at all. as this is an issue in which the lensky has, once again to save the whole world, is coming. and specifically donald trump and his team solve these rare earth resources. and here we are currently located in the territories where military operations are taking place. today. no one can tell us exactly what the price will be for the extraction of these metals. if it were that simple groups and ukraine or foreign companies would have been involved in this implementation long ago, if it were profitable and even more so in the amount that zalinski claim size. therefore, this is another deception on the part of the landscape. as for zalinski is entourage to these are absolutely lost people today they are the enemies of the ukrainian people who w

the lensky is in the amaris during these meetings right next door. so at any rate, it's finally a time that we're seeing here where i us, head of state is on the same page with mosque after years of russian officials calling for peace negotiations. and washington for that many years has pretty much just not given them the time of day until now. and it's now time for the landscape to take a backseat. apparently it's an interesting question though i don't think so as long as he's there. but you know, at some point you're gonna have to have elections to along with key and they are opinions also scrambling for a seat at the negotiating table. but washington hasn't really showed very much of interest at this point. and some officials even said that brussels isn't going to even be there. so we've got a lot of information here, so i'm confirm some unconfirmed. a lot of reports. we're gonna have to see how this meeting turns out. we'll have a nice speaking with the former director of us into governmental affairs about these latest developments. so steve, gai

g defense will be meeting with the lensky at the may next security conference, as a lensky will be there on the table. the president made that clear. so i think that there's been a lot of like a fuse and unnecessary um, upset by many europeans on something that has been a trajectory for quite some time. they need to invest in defense. theresa, you mentioned that the forthcoming meeting between j. d vance and ukrainian president board and there's a lensky um, ukranian president zalinski said that you're will have to unite behind ukraine so it can protect itself. what do you expect to come out of the meeting between vance and zalinski? because you mentioned just a moment ago that it seems as though vance may be softening his tone when it comes to kind of rhetoric we've heard from the us before this conference. well the devil is always in the details. and the us is actually taking kind of an unusual approach with the best in the treasury secretary bus and travel to ukraine. so the he was there on the ground and met with the lensky as well. and there's this kind of transactional approach tha

so lensky lifted the band on sending ukraine's greatest resource. it's rich black, us to foreigners, within just a few years, around 40 percent, his nation's arable land phone and into the hands of the west and equity funds, pension funds, foundations. and they are still literally reaping the rewards, but not content with selling what's above ground. now's the lensky is picking the easel to you. ukraine has gold, coal, tedium, manganese, oars, and rare earth metals. ukraine is very rich. on the map you see the real volumes, but there is no price for it. this is big money, very big. so it must be protected. if we're talking about the deal, the americans want to make less negotiates that ukraine is only in favor. yes, i see its fun line collapses on the summit trees. so the man who refuses to read the constitution, i'm faces people at the polls, but can read the face of a sick and tired trouble to wow. says he'll give it all up. even though it's not his to give the land it's mineral, wealth, atmosphere, water, and other natural resources within the te

where's the lensky is saving our country? and they are all active participants in the murders and ukraine. the extermination of the ukrainian people, and the murders of all our citizens and ukraine. and in russia, everyone who can talk about supporting the zelinski regime today is completed in the genocide which will go down in history precisely as the genocide of the ukrainian people. and the formula for peace today looks very simple and it is already been announced. not only by me, but also by the united states, this is a temporary cease fire. and then elections that must be monitored by external foreign parties and only after the elections. can the next government be interested in truly bringing peace to ukraine and writing a truly legitimate, legally correct agreement with russian? and the fact is that this drug addict from the streets and alcohol like was not invited to these negotiations. but why should he had been invited? he has simply lost his mind today and is an illegitimate president. in fact, he has been illegiti

come on your end with about a quarter lensky regime to play now. so why not take upon your day or are involved in the genocide one that all the resilience can this will go down in history as the genocide of the training and people advisor then scan for all of those of keeping the receiver taking part of this are actively passively condoning this genocide when you kind of say that, why does a black sloop nice? black is white difference to be as things today. the bottom is some of the number of months ago, and if it keep their issue, there are people that should be 7 things. somebody full of useful us toward all these for the non right to international communities in june. come on the, on by day provide me your, the museum, see how trump has opened the eyes of many people to announce the policies pursued by savanski. can i ask you that? and if, as many all saying the be peaceful settlement of the conflict, but at least the cost has been charged to, let's not talk about timelines. but that is an inevitable se, but that will be elections in ukraine and

a european army to confront russia's threat at the munich security conference. lot of here's the lensky urges here up to shape its own future as washington signals. it is cutting back is commitment to european defense. also coming up the latest hostages released by a mosque begin their joyful review and years with families. peggy deco shan and 2 others are back in israel. hundreds of palestinian prisoners are also freed in the exchange. and germany's chancellor pays tribute to the victims of thursday suspected car ramming attacks in unit 2. people have now died with 37 others injured. the melissa chance, thanks for joining us. german chancellor, all of shelves says defense spending must increase significantly to counter the threat from russia. speaking at the munich security conference, he also responded to controversial remarks from us, vice president j events who urged europe to open its doors to far right parties. schultz said, germany has the right to decide how it deals with far right hate speech. i also knew that ukrainian president was letting me as lensky when warned that russia

uh now, the lensky said behavior is well really unpredictable. at this point, especially the following, the events had been unix security conference, most on washington are about to begin their talks on the settlements of the crating costs as well as the lensky is c, the left on the sidelines. at the moment, she looks to be a loose cannon. if you will, mind you. even before donald trump took over the oval office, the united states had asked lensky to limit his tried souls to not to drive off, but royal price is, well. trump said that the oil would play as leverage on russia, if it did not sit down at the negotiating tables. and as he seems to have done just the opposite. in this case, he drove up oil prices and damaged the american interest as well. now despise it, as jesus self destructive ashton's, he continues to enjoy support from the european union. but most of the officials there seems to be well blind to the fact that the reactions of the key of regime are actually hurting europeans themselves. after all, the latest, the fact does indeed h

so with the lensky or at this point. absolutely. if you, it's all, just keep you to go to most of us can, you can negotiate with anyone. but zalinski is illegitimate. he has no right to sign anything. but if he wants to take part in the negotiations, i will send people who will conduct these negotiations. the issue is the final signing of the docking. it's. this is a very serious issue that should guarantee security for ukraine and russia with a serious long term historical perspective. and there can't be a single slip. everything should be polished. but if there is a desire to negotiate and find compromise solutions, let anyone negotiate there. naturally, we will strive to achieve what suits us, which corresponds to our interest in terms of signing documents. everything should be done in such a way that lawyers confirm to us the legitimacy of those people who be authorized by the ukrainian state to sign these agreements. we will soon be a part offered lady to mon try has been to the go to well carried on the stick, if you will, for

the trump is looking to show it was in lensky the door. it's amazing the change in rhetoric, we're seeing what a contrast 3 years into the conflicts. and in fact, especially from what we're seeing now from washington, i'm from what we've just had. it is in fact, uh, washington's policy towards key of now. and everything has been developing so rapidly in the last few days. we've seen the much anticipated talks between the most kind of washington in re add up to 3 years of silence between the 2 nuclear powers. and you know, the previous us administration, the vitamins, ministration factors, tend to blind value to everything. us top officials a now say out loud and polanski just seems frustrated. you know, he hasn't been invited to re add a now trumpet be suing a different policy towards keith, then divided administration. actually, j. d vons also had pockets lensky, stating that he's biting behind the feet that he's attacking the only reason this country exists publicly right now. and it's disgraceful, and it's not something that is going to

so lensky better move fast, or he's not going to have a country left. talk about shredding the old narrative in the headlights or whatnot . the trump and making good crystal clear where he stands on so landscape. he's dictated for washington in to financing a world. could not be won. many people have known him for at least 15 months, ever turning up some of them over to it. and you can see lots of devastation, lower turning and finding that home is completely destroyed. that's nothing but ruins and stuff of 11 on plus thousands of residents of return home to the devastated villages. the deadline for the id after withdrawal goes by, as israel remain in the area and also in the program. the multi point of world on display is the g 20 farm, and it has meeting kicks off in south africa, where russia's pop, diplomatic leads investigation from moscow. by the way, the 1st time it's all taking place on the continent, the, or that just off the non am here at most ago. we all live on worldwide with already a ton of updates for you here on the channel. and before

so lensky is quoting for international unity, mostly more needs now. and i know how we stand strong about 2 feet of a line, ukrainian unity. i know you training encourage on our relations with partners on the european solidarity and on americas pragmatism because american need success just as much as we do. success brings us together. i unity is the strongest safe god of the future. a future not with putin. so with peace, and this is a choice for the whole world, especially for the strongest nations to stand with. guten was peace. the right choice is peace. i think everyone for the support. and let's go to like the situation and keep in mind con, joins us from that. so around what's being the reaction ukraine's all this back and forth. well, there's been 2 real reactions going on right now. first the, this is now a rapid reset of the relationship with america ukrainians. i'm present soleski now understand that there is a donald trump is quite pro uh the kremlin, and that's the 2nd reaction. they a cooling donald trump's comment simply a part of the rus

but all of them is lensky hudgens. and national unity saying the piece brings us together. his comments come off to trump, rounded him a dictator who was responsible for causing the war and the 1st place, mostly more needs. now, none of us, we stand strong on our 2 feet are relying ukrainian unity. i know you training encourage on our relations with partners on the european solidarity and on americas pragmatism because american need success just as much as we do. success brings us together. our unity is the strongest safeguard of our future. a future not with putin. so with peace, and this is a choice for the whole world, especially for the strong destinations to stand with guten, with peace. the right choice is peace. i think everyone for the support but its present trump has doubled down on his criticism of silent scale while addressing a for an investment. somebody sion florida. it dictated with that elections. so let's get a better move fast or he's not going to have a country left. gotta move, gotta move fast cuz that was going on the wrong direction. in the meantime,

so lensky, i guess he's trying to remain relevant on the sidelines. he says that without p ever these talks, well, they mean nothing. so the ukraine will not take part. ukraine knew nothing about this. and ukraine regards any negotiations about ukraine without you frame as having no results. we cannot recognize any things or agreements about us that took place without us. while the whole free money trained from washington to keep house, essentially now ground to a hold, according to various reports with us has told you, crane is now time to pay up the bill. is it numerous? washington to report to the wants, key of the conversation with 500000000000 for prior assistance. that's even bigger than germany's wells. will one reparations on request, ukraine's railroad minerals various infrastructure, oil and gas resources. and yet, as the tide tonnes rushes on, pass it up to the un. no, says any possible agreement with must go now will be much worse for kids. and it had been in the past, a visit with some looking p. f is bitterly understanding that the menta

is it c. lensky is backed into a corner. i don't see any way in which he's going to be able to really, to change the situation wrong. david, i'm going to bring in what all the figure out, what all the current to in this, which shows that perhaps with donald trump, you can, you can have a successful outcome. and that's the host of this and re add the, the saudi crown prince. mom had been so mom he gets a lot of benefits out of oh, out of this, does he not? well, perhaps depending on how this goes, but i don't think the saudi sub position themselves as we're going to come up with the solution to this doesn't involve all of these parties. but it is that you hit the one area where i would tell you, i don't have a lot of defects for to use about the saudi government. yes, but i mean, you have expertise on trump, i'm just offering to host this may, may, may, may be maybe good news for the saudis, who were trying to get all those things, for example, that very worried about the trump panel on casa, and this is a transactional presi

so lensky. how is it come to this? is that what a difference? 3 years makes sense from what we're seeing now is in fact, washington's policy towards k. as you know, something we've been thinking about these use. and now don't trump is open the saying and you know everything's been developing at a rapid pace. we've seen the much anticipated talks and re, as we've pulls up off to 3 years of silence between mosca and washington. and you know, the pre, as the previous finding, the item administration turned a blind item was this, that now trump is open the se, and you know, the landscape seems to now guinea and everything is crumbling for him. that's a stalemate for ukraine on the front line. i mean, you know, even a state of mind he's losing continues to lose territory. and now trump and he's also hasn't been invited to react to now trumpet is doing this kind of policy towards the of, as well. and this really seems to upset kia from savanski in particular. and you know, on us vice price president j. d fonts. also it was right to say that the landsc

was the lensky is c, the left on the sidelines at the moment? so looks to be a loose cannon. if you will, mind you. even before donald trump took over the oval office, the united states had asked the lensky to limit his tribes. those too not to drive off port royal price is, well, trump said that the oil would play as leverage on russia if it did not sit down at the negotiating tables. and as he seems to have done just the opposite, in this case, he drove up oil prices and damaged the american interest as well. now despise it, as is a self destructive, ashton's. he continues to enjoy support from the european union, but the most of the officials there seem to be go more into the fact that the reactions of the key originally bar actually hurts in your opinions themselves. after all, the latest, the facts does indeed hurts european interest as well. oh no immediate turn. the directory action from zelinski is european fans at this point in time, but we should hardly be expecting any reaction any time soon. because for the e. u officials, they're darling can do absolutely anythin

and also you talked about the 5 presence lensky was in turkey today. so i want to ask you, what are the avenues available for going forward for zalinski when it comes to all of this? what are the next steps as far as what you see as well. uh, you know, no one can predict how part this will behave and what are the ridiculous statements rush i will make because that nothing looks satisfactory for them as for the across. so as for the invade there. so i think presents the landscape leadership and the consultations, but he made at the top level with recently us punk this and you partners are lead to nice to um, very tough times where uh, as i said before, ukrainian nation will back him up with the statement that is con, to be, as somehow of peace, it shouldn't be durable, less than beast as it was. space is by also stay and secretary of the us. so for a, for the cheap and bad b, e u a us and ukraine has to be on boards. it's looked ross. i hope that the dictates their rules because they are the invaders. it has to be absolute politically. so. all right, th

there's a lensky thing. why aren't you more actively pursuing peace? but as you say, when you look into the details of it and the money that's been coming in, so your credit is shutting off that, you know, that's ukraine is the hold it to us. let's say it directly. so if that stops on europe is not willing to do this. he knows he's in a hole here. he's no longer of any use to europe or the us as he and he's committed crimes and some more crimes. so if, if you know, is the landscape probably trying to figure out an exit route, among other things, right. um, i don't really see him running for president again. i think he wouldn't be elected . obviously there's a ton of people he's, i mean he's basically sacrificed a generation of men for what to give rare earth minerals to the us to give 22 percent of the land to, to russia. yeah, he's in a very bad position. par rate, the e u is undermining its own democratic values. that's the blogs admission us vice president. judy balance kicked off with us in munich, a security conference, as the new trump team infor

so lensky was due to be meeting with the us, vice president j. d vault. is until you would that me thing is not going to take place on friday. it seems to be an issue with the scheduling. but we also know that j. d. bronx has been a huge the critical of ukraine in general and it's role in new rule. so we were expecting that meeting might be a little bit fiery between the 2, particularly given the context of everything else that's being said. now your family does also seem to be frightening about the noise is coming out of the, from the white house, saying that no ukraine has to be involved in the negotiations. this copy a situation of russia and the us deciding together the feature of what happens to crane and also that you will see in the dusk must be at the table to almost something the feet just suggest that it's wrong that they could be left out of bed and we've been hearing from the gym and chancellor fall off. schultz, who's been talking about the support his country wants to continue giving you credit despite the facts about support is incredibly u

there's a risk. lensky is tougher comments. the continued late to news conference will antagonize trump pollings for them. and as a told me in the circumstances, plain speaking is justified. i think within your administration there is a premium on frankness and times a very hard you create a new spacing, is essential choices. a so presidency landscape tells it like it is. and i hope it gets hurt. here in munich, the very real differences between the us and europe in plans for peace and ukraine . i've been further exposed. that's the reason europe and foreign ministers will hold a meeting here in the coming hours. james space out is era munich. the high stakes talks between russia and the usaa continue despite growing concerns from you, us state department has confirmed that secretary of state market review is held a phone call with russian farm and assistant gala for off. and it's really a re offend america's commitment to ending the wall, becomes just hours of us invoice ukraine told him unit security conference, but you would

there's a president or form a president lensky whose time has expired. who denies any calls for elections? he says that he's crazy and people don't want elections to love. i'm elected the president. so sort of a huge crowd. yes. the reaction to these, these called the nations from the european union and from you. great. and being human. lots of people to see uh how focusing going up the compared for the next round of elections and they take their lessons from the situation around the world . right. all senior correspondent is about that because they have thank you. all right, off the 8 years behind bars are russian citizen nice on the big nick has been released from the us prison. he's now back here in the event. it was a great one. c, arrive time, his parents with that to see that sounds arrival and must go. i've been excited. he still can't believe he's is finally back in russia. the nice put ocean yourselves know he's not at the store yet. attorney is now pretty stressful. on the more spreads to a state. so many other states here this semester. well,

and now the lot them is lensky is having to take a backseat conversation. you will be involved um, interesting question though i don't think so as long as he's there, but you know, at some point you're gonna have to have elections to along with key of it also looks like the european union is scrambling to get a seat at the negotiating table, but washington didn't seem very interested in this with some us officials even saying that they're not going to be at the negotiations at hall. this kind of echoes what we just heard. russian foreign minister circ a live, rob say about about the, the european union's desire to be a part of this negotiating process. he mentioned what the finished president recently said at the unit security conference, which he said that, you know, it would be beneficial for the you to have some sort of truce that would buy time for the content to continue to build up. it's military spring. this is like flashbacks to the uminski agreements, which were brokered between european powers, germany and france and russia on the other side. russ

there's a lensky thing. why aren't you more actively pursuing peace? but as you say, when you look into the details of it and the money that's been coming in to your credit, shutting off that, you know, that's ukraine is the hold it to us. let's say it directly. so if that stops on europe is not willing to do this. he knows he's in a hole here. he's no longer of any use to europe or the us as he. and he's committed crimes in some more crimes. so if, if you know, zalinski is probably trying to figure out an exit route, among other things, um, i don't really see him running for president again, i think he wouldn't be elected. obviously there's 10 enough people he's, i mean he's basically sacrificed a generation of men for what to give rare earth minerals to the us to give 22 percent of the land to, to russia. yeah, he's in a very bad position. once, as, as an apparent backup plans. lensky aside line to his own decree, the funds ukrainian negotiations with the russian presidents. the cab chief now. so you see, once direct talks with lots of my posts in, b

if given the opportunity to vote, ukrainians would certainly take the lensky down. another thing is that zalinski doesn't need elections. i think he is well aware that they would be like death for him. and of course, he will resist the elections until the last possible moment, as long as he can. and so i don't really believe in the possibility of ukraine having an election. so, the question is, who among the external players will support to lensky further? if let's say the u. s. refuses to support ukraine and leaves it only to europe, then there is a chance that ukraine and its current state will not even make it to autumn. well, russia has requested a meeting of the un security council because the decade is paul. since the body adopted a resolution looking for peace in the eastern region of ukraine up system. and the french representatives became self proclaimed republic slipped. and that's going to hans on the 24th of february we had launched it's large scale invasion of ukraine, file 18 view, and charter and international law. i recall that russia had spent some

russians foreign minister at his us count about hold a telephone call that in washington's request, lensky is coming to tell them that a distinctly different future lies ahead with america. now looking for a piece unfolding with an if the data will be in such blights manner, which now demonstrates united states to ration. yes. so we are not very happy with this, to be honest, but this is like the signature, st question, the days of washington to allow support for key advocacy me to be over as trump improved and told ukraine's hope for nato membership is done while the us so it's just not realistic. would you crate to consider taking back russian territory? returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. meantime here, okay, and leaders are in panic mode. scrambling to be included in peace folks on ukraine as a representative from the trump administration side of the e. you will not be sitting at the table. can you, can you a show this already in the ukrainians will be at the table and eur

foreign minister, is us count them on hold of the telephone, pulled out to washington's request. lensky is coming to terms that a distinctly different future lives. i had put america now looking for peace and full in some of the dialect will be in such a large menu, which now demonstrate united states to professional i think yes. so we, i don't very happy with it. to be honest, but the interesting question. yeah. the days of washington's all out support for kids certainly seem to be over. as trump, including top ukraine's hope for the state. so membership is dash for the us. so just don't realistically ukraine to take back russia's new territories. returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic object chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. i mean time, europe, and rulers are in panic mode. scrambling to be included in peace told one who cried as a representative from the trump administration says that you, you will not be sitting at the table. can you, can you a show this audience that ukrainians will be at the table? and europeans

and he's our guy, donald trump, is how cool is that lensky tied to how? so while united savanski also would be ukranian, instead of charging alto old russian language, he actually elections and he will soon find state media that was so having different stones on the call and fixing ukraine. and you know, it's fall from democrats. ok. so meantime the top 2 guys in america are essentially so i mean, so and see, i guess that calling a spade a spade, but considering how angry brussels is with trump, maybe america's 2 top guys are loading that. right, right. well, us national security as well as of my quotes on the la must have joined it. not everyone has is gotten the message that the era of an endless grinding war with death and destruction on all sides costing hundreds of billions and costing hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives that arrows over. yeah, and just as an important subject to that is that we look at the type of a, the europeans are providing. and it's often in the form of loans it's being repaid with the interest on seas rush and asset

so i think part of what's happening is that the lensky feels left out. he understands that the, our power is bigger than him. that are at the table. he's basically that the kids stable and the bigger powers are trying to figure things out. and so let's, he says, i want a piece of the action. he's going to go to other regional partners. of course, ukraine has an economy that has suffered in this war time. he might be willing to sell up enterprises, philip opportunities for investors to come in for concessions for the opportunity to get something in return. and of course, what he ultimately once is, as he said, if he's not a part of the negotiations, he's not going to agree to anything. which means that he's willing to carry this on . he's willing to continue to have ukraine in a state of absolute war. and taking people off the streets and carrying them against their will to the front lines to die for him and his the ruling class of their. so i think ultimately we have to understand that zelinski has his own agenda, the, the rulers and gifts have their own

johnson you claims lensky is actually a lot like trump himself. let's not forget to johnson is reported to have the rail, the piece still for ukraine. back in 2022. he said now that new queens just keep fight. calling you k p. m test almost jumped on the bandwagon will quickly comparing savanski is the suspension of elections to britain's own policy during world war 2 was western position soon to this event used defense. that was a sol, opposition voice. so back prime minister says the support for the war has weakened the block, a single source got my desk with the exception of slovakia and hungary, the european union supported the war and ukraine for 3 years. it has not listened to our objections or in the strategy of exploiting the war in ukraine to we can. russia is not working. they did not listen to the fact that a conventional more of a rush. you can not be one or 2 arguments this tens of thousands of russians like ukrainians are dying needlessly. we were told that you crank and only negotiate the serial can give it a strong enough to do so.

so he's head simply to listen, but voters, lensky, the you kind of present has been clear. he wants to take him to the front line whether that actually happens or not. he wants the us to see what is actually going on. most of these visit was taking place. the russian attacks taking place on a decimal way here. several people have been injured and so there's a lot of pressure on ukrainian troops in the east of ukraine to any area of across where the russians are pushing and making gains against you. fighting forces, okay, and run. thank you so much for that reporting from keith. let's cross the washington dc speak to our white house correspondent. so how are you hearing anything from your end about this possible meeting between trump inputs in this month? and yeah, what we're hearing is that it could be uh, in the next a couple of weeks or, or even sooner. but the bottom line is when it comes to this, these comments that have been made by donald trump, a, this is not being received well, particularly by the political adversaries of donald trump, here domestically, namely, th

i mean, vladimir putin has said that he doesn't mind if the lensky is at any future negotiations. but the main thing is that russia does not seize a lensky as a person who actually has the authority to sign off on any sort of legitimate piece deal. if you're stupid to go to most of the sky, you can negotiate with anyone. but zalinski is illegitimate, he has no right to sign anything. but if he wants to take part in the negotiations, i will send people who will conduct these negotiations. the issue is the final signing of the documents. this is a very serious issue that should guarantee security for ukraine and russia with a serious long term historical perspective. and there can be a single slip. everything should be polished, but in the coordinates with the constitution of ukraine. the president of ukraine, even under martial law, does not have the right to extend his powers. only representative authorities have the right to extend their powers, which is only the right of the countries parliament. and the president only has a 5 year term. that's it and nothing else. further, his

so lensky said they discussed opportunities to achieve peace and ukraine's readiness to work with us. earlier. trump's defense secretary pete hex, it laid out america's proposal to end the war during a needle meeting in brussels. he says, joining the organization is unrealistic for ukraine, and keep, should've banned in hopes of returning to pre 2014 borders. all right, let's go now to mike hannah was live for us in washington dc. now mike, uh, president trump, after he spoke to russian president vladimir putin was quick to speak to ukrainian president for them or zalinski. what more do we know about that call? yes, let me 1st date that this is a complete breaking was established protocol because under the bite and administration discussion with russian officials would be held off the consultation with ukraine. in this particular case, president trump phone put in directly and subsequently spoke to the ukranian president. he says, says trump, that the conversation with a vote demand zalinski was very calm, very peaceful. he said that the truly the shed, the view that a piece must be a

without them is lensky is open to the idea of russia. it's pot says the alms for minerals deal as some have deb, this is a sign of the us slowing down the simple for ukraine. the biggest commercially viable array of mineral deposits. i'll also in the territories, russia has a hand ext away the west of the will rages. they include the hands that zachary's you. together. they all with a 6 trillion dollars or 53 percent of ukraine's rack of mineral deposits. but with that much money involved ukrainians, click no development of resources until the full and to the war and complete russian withdrawal. ukraine. a strategic resources only after the war. and uh, we can do it only when uh, the territory of ukraine will be de occupied when it will be liberated because manuals such resources are right now are located in the territories occupied by russia. donald trump, i said maybe ukraine will be russian, maybe not a statement that is confused many here and, but even if the will ends tomorrow, ukraine has to be safe. an open said business, one of t

i'm not sure the lot of recruiting has to meet was lensky. i think that, you know, this war has been funded by europe, by nato. and by the us, that funding has been pulled by the us and is about to be pulled. i think for the most part by europe. um and you know, he made his last kind of counting of chests by wanting more of 16, he wanted more weapons and 1400000 from a troops from europe. that's never gonna happen. sure. your nations are not going to send 1500000 boots on the ground. and so you crane. so i think he knows he's probably better look at one of his villas and try to escape the bill. that's what someone's, the problem is doing right now. what do you think donald trump will try and get him involved publicly? i'm sure that will come out, but privately is trump thinking, you know, walk for all these years of stalemate. joe biden, not doing a lot. we need to get this on the road on the way to do that is with a lot of are putting on the risk can follow get involved. but if you don't, you don't. right. but i think i think um donald trump

and of course for water is the lensky. i mean, this isn't really all good news and based on what he's been saying, making up these fantasies of russian invasion of europe to try and cause tension between russia and the united states at this critical point. and a potential a peaceful resolution is obviously not very happy about all of this, but trump, i mean, is really not find that he has said time and time again that he perceives mosque out to be 100 percent dedicated to peach. the process in a way or off the you want to stop by the i see that we spoke long and hard with for a very extended, very big powerful machine. you understand all in a long time. they've done it before, but i think you'd like, i think you would like to stop. that would have been a big problem for us is also really surprising wise. the landscape would feel frustrated after the way that everything's went down. i mean, he is not even on the guest list in saudi arabia. meanwhile, is the lensky is in the united member out in the united arab emirates righ

because from what we've heard on multiple occasions. lensky himself, he was actually opening fruit and engaged in named, quoting a guess, fly them f, pete. and you might remember those moments as well, but overall from what we see now, the relations between russia and a, the usps of someone in prison. but of course, we'll have to wait to say, let's speak to a retired us army lieutenant colonel of international security consulting on this earl rouse, musing. you're most welcome, sir. another significant coal on particularly so. i suggest, given a high level must go, washington summit was agreed during it. according to the russian foreign ministry. are you surprised at all? overhead foss tie is, are being re established. um, it's uh, perhaps a little surprised, but then a lot in some ways not. i mean, trump is a took initiative right away. yes. to promise 24 hours. but i think we all knew that was not feasible. even a 100 dave's that the, the general kellogg it's in the state. it's probably not feasible. but um, but we're making some see some very, very good moves in it and i think guess

and on the trunk wells that lensky says very clearly. the one donald trump is in a russian. this information bubble that he's power takes russian lines almost to wholesale and he's hit back saying that actually i am the legitimate president. busy of ukraine for institutionally, that is actually correct on this. i did that of i didn't go a full percent approval. racing will a pull type old came out just a few days ago that gave put it about 57 percent. but let's take a closer look at all of this. uh, with my colleague charles ratford. winter and ukraine seems particularly be to this year made was perhaps quite a cold realization. the tree is off, the rush is full scale invasion. the country can no longer rely on its friends to defend it, but any cost. many of the it's a shows the 3rd part those, cuz it seems to me that trump statements are a little too bold on ukraine. he doesn't understand the reality on the ground. we try and help our ami our economy in any way we can. but it is clear we are a little desperate because we understand that

for the presidents lensky has said that. busy donald trump is in a russian, this information bubble. and if you listen to what donald trump is, is saying that the exact lines that are coming out from the russians is accusing of . busy load them is lensky of being an illegitimate president. somebody that hasn't the elections into place constitutionally under the state of emergency. uh, there are no need for elections until the war is over. so his legitimacy, at least, and ukrainian eyes is still that, but it's a about donald trump now putting pressure on ukraine. this is almost a reset now of the relationship between america and ukraine and ukrainians. a findings that they are feeling certainly that they're being frozen out of the tools and saudi arabia, for example. it was america, most of that was the think about you christ. i know you claim your presence the sites that's the real say now is that there is a reset between the relationship between russia and america. and what does that look like? and does ukraine have a big e

i, a, it's the, the intention to meet me is the lensky at munich, and stopped the process. but this could take some time because let them use the landscape in an interview just in the last few hours. a said he would consider lunchbox with territory that they have seized in the dorm bus, something that russia is unlikely to agree to. so there's a great deal of negotiation. but certainly from the podium in the white house press briefing room, the press secretary seemed to suggest there was some quotes for optimism. the president just recently got off the phone with president zalinski of ukraine. his truth is as follows. i just spoke to president zalinski of ukraine. the conversation went very well. he liked present it, proving wants to make peace. we discussed a variety of topics having to do with the war, but mostly the meeting that is being set up on friday and unix were vice president j events and secretary of secretary of state, marco rubio, will leave the delegation. i am hopeful that the results of that meeting will be positive. it is time to stop this ridiculous work,

in fact, right before the special military operation began, lensky use the conference. so deliver the final blow. yeah, your present. i have instructed the foreign ministry to convince somebody to budapest memorandums taking a treat countryside. if it fails to take place or refuses to provide security guarantees to ukraine, good idea of what we're going to attend. the closest signed in 1994 is no invoice. well, when they did, it was a lot of skill was clueless, the was certainly was as after so many years of warnings and requests not to escalate the tensions along the russian border. but they did unless it and now when were seemingly approaching the end of this, not this, europe has a problem with it. and also what the us, perhaps the tide is indeed turning as a make it a break of situation boils in the west looks like it's going to be one interesting conference. but now, $211.00 on where authorities have denied and a rainy and plain from landing at bay rude airport. amid the shaky cease fire protesters waving has the flags have blocked an access road to the airport? in
