. >> the president of finland is hopeful but this is a shift, moving away from the theory to the practicef american abandonment so can you put something on paper to president trump to get security guarantee for ukraine? we will have to see. again the question is money and for trump you need to show some muscle. tom: what you think of the jousting in the conversation? this president attacked the leader of ukraine while defending vladimir putin. zelenskyy is prepared to go back, what is the latest? >> the minerals deal is on the table but ukrainians don't want conditions for russia to move in so without backstops it's difficult for ukraine to sign on . i don't know how to move forward, that's the question. the other question, they are saying is zelenskyy someone we can do business with? will the u.s. be willing to work with him? he has said he's willing to come to the table, will trump insist he is not the person? a bizarre situation where the united states is taking russia's side to replace that leader of ukraine. still diagnosing something that was very dramatic and european response, the

he's suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties and at a great strategic cost with finland and swedend about their own security that they've joined nato. to we're looking at how we get to a ceasefire and then a post-conflict reconstruction plan, extraordinary challenges, peter. i'm not sure i see this going forward in any positive way. the president yesterday talked about not being aligned with either side, trying to mediate the conflict, and i think we found that cushion of -- the that discussion of russia and the threat zelenskyy feels russia continue it is the pose in that setting and why they were talking past each other, and why i think it would have been for helpful, perhaps, for them nod to do that in -- not to do the that in front of the cameras. peter: since the war started in 2022, $175 a billion under the biden administration went to to zelenskyy and his government. zero dollars so far under the trump administration. but trump trying to get some of that $175 billion back with this mineral deal. it blew up yesterday. is that something where if the u.s. and ukraine are not go

you see poland, you see up top finland. these are countries right against russia.right against putin himself said that one day i am going to reunite the old russia that included most of those countries. okay. and with that, he is looking very much toward expansionism. this is not being made up. this is what putin himself has said. the nato countries, for that reason, are very worried about this, very worried about this. and for that reason, for that reason, they are much more likely to get together and do their very best to protect ukraine, because if ukraine goes, they believe one of these countries could be next. and not to be self-serving here, but what about us? what about the us? here's where we get to the real issue for the united states. it's a question of our foreign policy. donald trump has gone on record more than once saying he believes in america first. you've had that. you've heard that. that's a very isolationist characteristic, if you will. as far as he's concerned, russia and poland and france and germany, all those guys can work things out themselv
