that laptops don't know who to, why that tails for any more. meantime, it looks like trump is all but done with you, craig, and he's looking for peace. he's looking to make a quick buck on the mineral resources as you are. looks pleased to try and continue with the will of jeffrey. can you just help me get my head around that please? a while it's hard to get one's head around because europe cannot continue the war ukraine. you cannot continue the war in the bottom line. that what happened during the last 30 years, i've been a part of because this is a 30 year us project is that the united states said were you in a polar, we do what we want. we expand militarily, where we want, we expand our influence, where we want i, in 2008 the us said, now we move made over to ukraine to georgia. i and a, this is a replay, by the way of the pry me and more of 185321856, almost at the blueprint. and of russia's said, no, i, that's not going to happen. i. the point is, europe got into line with it. the u. s. i. strategy is if i could call them added. so it's the exaggeration in my view, but the us strategist said will wi

the us trump administration has suspended ministry, supports and system toes and sharing with you craig, i just left you with the latest scrambling to fill the void by calling cool for an increase of ministry spending across the board. the c i a director says the decision to suspend, intelligent sharing is temporary and the washington expects to resume is corporation with key if, if progress is made on peace negotiations with russia, we have taken a step back and or pausing and reviewing all aspects of this relationship, but i just got off the phone before i walked out here with my counterpart, ukrainian national security advisor. we are having good talks on a location for uh uh for the next round of negotiations on delegations on substance. uh, so just in the last 24 hours, uh, since the public statement from zalinski. and then the subsequent conversations which i'm going to walk inside and continue. i think we're going to see a movement in very short order. the u. s. is arrested in charge of africa national accused of being involved in planning, a bombing that killed 13 us service mem

craig steube. give us your reaction to all this between the us and ukraine? >> trump them $350 billion, one hundred billion dollars of that is completely unaccounted for according to the numbers donald trump has put out, congress has appropriated $120 billion and each time we try to put any safeguards on the money we appropriated to ukraine the democrats and joe biden would refuse to do that so there's no accountability whatsoever on the money we sent over there but on the front lines they don't have ammunition, they don't have the things we've sent, where is all the stuff going, donald trump is right to ask questions about that and want to have oversight about that and not want to be in an endless war in eastern ukraine where we are funding, it's time for the other european countries to step up. is great for donald trump to be asking these questions and being a military guy i thought president zelenskyy was very rude and disrespectful and that white house meeting. maria: clearly zelenskyy made plenty of mistakes, so much so that donald trump threw him out of the offi

trump has said he wants to do. so um, if i could let me address the recovery of craig's territorial integrity question, because i think it's been clear, be clear to me and many others i think for at least like the last couple of years of this war, that neither side has the capability to achieve their maximum of war objectives to military means alone. so we've known for a while that ukraine through military means alone, it's unlikely to be able to restore its territorial integrity. that does not mean that you give up on that as an overall or objective. and you certainly don't do with donald trump did, which is conceded to the russians before you ever sit down at the table. the trump administration has said 2 things. they said would be ukraine cannot restore the territorial integrity and it should give up on that. and it should give up on a to membership. the problem is those may be things that you say in private, or those may be things that emerge during a negotiation. but when you do that, before you ever sit down with the adversary, let's be clear, the adversary is rusher, not ukraine. you have can see that you've ta
