cnn's max foster is here with more on this. max, good morning to you. i want to show you the cover of the new york post here in the u.s. today. this, of course, a rupert murdoch owned newspaper. the page says president trump, this is a dictator. the picture, of course, is not max zelenskyy of ukraine, but rather putin of russia. it's just a remarkable situation. i think it's worth remembering that putin was actually kicked out of what was the g8 back after he took crimea, right, which was back in 2014. and now here we are. and apparently the american delegation is saying they don't want to pull. they don't want to call the war in ukraine russian aggression. what more do we know? and what's the reaction on your side of the pond? >> well, it's really. >> thrown. everyone in europe because this whole war was about democracy, defending democracy. ukraine is a sovereign country. president zelenskyy was an elected leader representing european values. there was an invasion into that country and europe stood up to it. made putin an international pariah, stopped
