let's bring back peter baker. sense of what you think went on in that meeting with keir starmer. we did see a readout from them, or we heard keir starmer welcoming him, being very friendly and saying that they would support ukraine and president zelensky in continuity, in perpetuation. i mean, regarding something with with russia. but what happened with that meeting, what happened with macron, what he may have said to these three leaders, give me a sense of what needed to be said. >> yeah. so this meeting in london was already set up before yesterday's blowup in the oval office. it wasn't directly a response to that, but it's hard not to look at it as an in fact, sort of a rejoinder, a message from europe, in effect, which britain has sort of and sort of not part of, depending on how you look at it, that they are still with ukraine, even if the united states basically is siding with vladimir putin's russia. and you saw that yesterday in a series of tweets and social media posts by one prime minister or president a

peter baker, new york times chief white house correspondent and nbc news political analyst, and evelyn farkas, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for russia, ukraine and eurasia and the executive director of the mccain institute. so. hey, peter. so if you would catch us up to speed on all that's been happening, it seems like things change every second. but the position of zelensky and what the united states is or is not doing to support zelensky, and then what europe is doing. >> yeah, exactly. >> you're seeing. >> such. >> a remarkable split right now. between the united states and europe in terms of its view of this war. right. and in effect, the united states is taking almost taking russia's side, certainly echoing a lot of the points that russia makes. you heard russian officials over the weekend talk about how much u.s. foreign policy has been recalibrated to their liking. they're delighted. you saw after that meeting on friday, dmitry medvedev, the one time caretaker president who is an advisor to president putin, say that finally, the insulin pig that would be zelensky

peter baker longtime russia correspondent said it reminded him of the kremlin press pool takeover.t your takes on where that attack on the press stands and whether we are in much more sinister territory now. >> i do think we are in more sinister territory because you have to look at what is happening with ap. in light of his lawsuits against cbs, abc, threatening the licenses of other broadcast entities, this is all part of a pattern of roughing up anyone he views as either insufficiently loyal or people who have wronged him and he looks at the press as an entity that has wronged him. but what i would say is it's a lot of inside baseball of that ap is not allowed in the pool which means they can't get into all these places. to me it just says that the white house press corps which already does hard work is going to have to work a little bit harder reporting on an administration that already leaks like a sieve. >> donald trump is everything he can to destroy things that would restrain his power. that's the attorney general's he fires, the leadership in the military and the press is
