they are interested in removing obstacles, to renew you aspects of the russia america. you're talking to ship. many more details have all of that going up on line right now. the author dot com for the meantime. let's get back into our regularly scheduled program, giving them some of the comments. i made it swelling at speculation about a summit between president putin and trump. the criminal spokesman was asked about that or respond to by laying out what pos needs to be paid. there will be a need for a certain amount of preparation in the ministry of foreign affairs. and the main task now is the 1st to assess the date and then restore bilateral relations, which were deliberately damaged by the previous years administration and are now in and deplorable states to carry out figuratively speaking resuscitation measures. diplomats will now start working in the light of the agreement that live ro reached, but the rubio 1st. the american side will tell us who will be the chief negotiator on ukrainian affairs with us after the american side gives its person. depending on who i

we believe that america's strength is enough, together with us, to pressure russia and putin towardsat road to peace is neither going to be straight nor smooth for ukraine. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. i'm joined now by maria snegovaya, seniorfellow with the europe, russia, and eurasia program at the center for strategic and international studies. thank you, maria, for talking to me about this. what are your first thoughts when you have the comments from president trump, orfrom the the comments from president trump, or from the white the comments from president trump, orfrom the white house, saying that the chances of ukraine joining saying that the chances of ukrainejoining nato are ukraine joining nato are unrealistic?— ukraine joining nato are unrealistic? . ., ., unrealistic? yeah, thanks for havinu unrealistic? yeah, thanks for having me- _ unrealistic? yeah, thanks for having me. certainly, - unrealistic? yeah, thanks for having me. certainly, like . unrealistic? yeah, thanks for having me. certainly, like so| having me. certainly, like so many analysts today, i'm a little

and they finally broke the ice in russia. america relations after years of both of these powers, pretty much having no communication whatsoever. and according to the kremlin, this is a major signal that peace has become a priority at the motions. and now this is a powerful signal and we will now attempt to solve the problems through dialogue. we will talk about peace, not warranty. what was the situation with the previous administration? so no dialogue shit more until the end. that was the initial was a little bit of a previous administration, right? another judging by president trump statements, we resolve problems to dialogue. no more. we need a piece of this as ition should appeal more to any recent person or say to deal a temp also gave his 2 cents on his own phone call with a lot of air poles and saying that it was highly productive any later told journalists some things that hasn't gone that haven't gone down very well. and ukraine because he and his defense secretary are essentially saying no to ukrainian membership in nato and no to ukraine's pre 2014 borders. secretary defense

and yet, during this time in russia, we was big, fast becoming the most sanctioned country in the world. america was still buying russian fertilizers, russian metals are russia, uranium to fuel the nuclear power plants in america? um, is there any chance, i mean, let's just say it'll goes, rosie, is there any charles to trade between moscow and then on washington could actually reach pre 2021 levels again or that's it's difficult for us to say right now, but i would say probably not because again, as i, as i said, precinct russia has of the friends and ross who's doing a huge amount of trade. most of the rest of the equipment hasn't really been initially. that was a bit of a hit, but it's, it's money to recalibrate those relationship. india is one of the largest buys of russian orland gas, china who is buying up in smaller the everything that ross that can produce. so as china does across the world. so really i, i think the conversation coming to the negotiating table now for russia, ross who is in my do a very good position. yeah. it's about to isn't, doesn't need to sign a treaty, but the us t

and russia and america are on that train. it's heading towards some kind of a deal. good talking about it's very early days. it's moving very quickly, and president trump is in a hurry to secure a deal with putin and end this war. and europe and ukraine are scrambling to catch up, trying to catch that train and trying to have some kind of stake in this. meanwhile, of course, there's the whole debate about defence expenditure. the americans essentially giving europe notice that don't rely on us, you can't automatically rely on us to defend you. europe is going to have to step up its game on defence. it's going to have to spend a great deal more. mark rutter, the nato secretary general, has said that 3% of gdp should be a kind of minimum baseline, not just 2%. now, there are still countries that are not even paying 2%. britain is agonising over whether to raise it from 2.3 to 2.5, and won't commit to a time where most countries who live closer to russia like the baltic nations, poland, estonia, etc., they are spending well in excess of 3%. and they're saying, actually,

but that is a concern beyond the kind of diplomatic niceties that these are tools between russia and america. and they don't involve ukraine, and this is going to be a problem going forward. okay, thank you so much. i'm on con, reporting from keith. while the us president donald trump, has dismissed concerns that ukraine was left out of talks and re odds, or i think i'm really disappointed in what's happened. i've been watching this for 3 years as to where that would have never happened to vice president. and i've been watching these, these, you know, people being killed at levels that you've rarely seen, not, not even close since the 2nd world war. and a very disappointed i hear that, you know, there's upset about not having a seat. well, they've had a seat for 3 years and a long time before that this could have been settled very easily. okay, we're not going to speak to on the so already i know about who's the co founder of the ukranian security and cooperation centers has also served as an advisor for the armed forces of ukraine. joining us from keith, welcome to the alger 0 news our to w

russia. we understand that. and we have evidence that these numbers are being discussed between america and russia . so unfortunately, president trump, who we have great respectful as the leader of the american people on whom we respect very much supports us constantly, but unfortunately lives in this disc, information space. while the white house has deliberately left ukraine out of its initial negotiations with moscow, trump says lensky has had 3 years to settle the conflict, but has not all the russian foreign ministers forget alive. rough is meanwhile, praise trump for suggesting the bite and administration's purse to ground to ukraine. nato membership is a root cause of the war. but are you going to them? what use president trump was the 1st and i think the only western leader as publicly and loudly said that the one of the root causes of the ukrainian situation was the input in line of the previous administration to draw ukraine into nato. no western leader has said that, but he said it repeatedly. we'll have reaction from moscow. you'll yourself of all of us there. but 1st let's go to m run c

mr has up to reshape america's role kyiv america's role supporting kyiv russia's invasion. ica's role supporting kyiv against russia's invasion. he also said he the also said he didn't believe the ukrainian didn't need ukrainian president didn't need to be involved in talks about ending the conflict. 77 has criticised again what sees in an imbalance in he sees in an imbalance in financial support to ukraine. we are spending our treasure, they are spending their blood, they are spending their blood, they are spending their blood, they are and they are very brave in every way you can but we are spending imagine. but we are spending treasure on a country that our treasure on, a country that very, our treasure an, a raauntry that very, very our treasure an, a raauhtry that very, very far away. and it is very, very far away. and it is very, very far away. and it is ok, but to be is ok, but we have to be treated the same as europe is europe gets beihg—treated. eurepe gets �* money back, beihg—treatea. eurepe gets �* money back, europe is their money back, europe is basically givin

not russia and america. i was so sure i'll just go to washington. well, it's here from ukrainian president reload him. is lensky who says that he's held what he calls very substantive talks with washington, the ends of war and new crime. he prizes what he described as terms of genuine interest in working towards pace. it is useful which the most time i met again blog . i had a conversation with president trump a good and detailed discussion. i am grateful to the president for his genuine interest in our share at opportunities, and how we can work together to bring real peace closer to to it was a long conversation. we discussed many aspects of diplomatic, military, economic and keepers down the drum and president trump informed me of what putting had told him because we believed in america strength is sufficient to pressure russia and putting in to piece together with us together with all our partners. lemme and con joins us now from popular opposite in easton, ukraine. and 1st of all, can you just give us a more reaction from keith we saw and heard

no, russia and america. i would say, sure, i'll just go to washington. the ukraine is top of the agenda. so naturally, defense ministers holding talks now in brussels. the head of the amazing nato secretary general not going to tested any piece. discussions must include ukraine and must find the last and solution to the conflict. we want peace in ukraine right of sooner than later, we move on to creating to be in the best possible position when those folks start at to make sure that they can be completed successfully. and as also the text that says yesterday, the new american secretary of defense that is crucial that ever comes out of desktops at this jewel, it isn't doing no minutes. 3, we cannot have that again. we cannot have put in again, trying to capture a square kilometer a square miles of ukraine in the future. but since his 1st term us present, donald trump has been asking nicely, countries to pay substantially more to the alliance. there's no defense, secretary it takes, it says thomas policy remains the same. the world is a safer place, a for

not russia and america. i was so sure i'll just go to washington as ukraine is top of the agenda. so nice. her defense ministers holding torques now in brussels. that hey, this is amazing. the secretary general, not because it said any piece discussions must include your crime and must find the last thing solution to the conflict. we want peace in ukraine right of sooner than later we move on to going to be the best possible position. and when those folks start to make sure that they can be completed successfully. and as also the text that said yesterday, the new american secretary of defense, it is crucial that ever comes out of desktops at this jewel. it isn't doing no minutes. 3, we cannot have that again, we cannot have pushing again, trying to capture a square kilometer a square miles of ukraine in the future. but since his 1st 10 us president, donald trump has been asking nicer countries to pay substantially more to the lines . there's new defense secretary, pete hicks if established that trump's policy hasn't changed. the world is a safer place, a for your place when data i

because the top diplomats from russia and america are set to beat, to normalize relations and find a resolution to the ukraine conflict cabins bitterly understanding that the men's provisions are unattainable and that the new conditions for ending the hostilities and ukraine will be far worse for them to go to of reality the united nations because a lot of the entity in physics, no discussions for settlements, can happen without ts, but yet the tools will go on. he's apparently, he's not even on the guest. and as europe looks for a spot on the sidelines, it is, you politicians hold emotional defaults and powers, but 0 plan of action is developed in a box of hungary text him. i went to slammed them for trying to print off. we're seeing a gathering of pro or anti trump and my frustrated european leaders the want to stop in agreement from happening on piece and you print the well, there was a lot of optimism surrounding this morning's events and re added. we have a correspondence all across the region to bring us the very latest. at the moment it happens. so top story, this our straight

. >> russia will be very confident, super confident, that it can, with the help of america, get some o end the war but on russia's terms. >> when you have america adopting one dominating approach to these talks and you have europe divided or working out how to provide security in the region as well as for ukraine. ♪ >> welcome to the program. well, it's the first time since the invasion of ukraine that the u.s. and russia have held high-level talks. those talk lasted four hours and took place in saudi arabia. afterwards tv's agreed that more negotiations would take place after what has been described as a constructive meeting between the u.s. secretary of state marco rubio and his russian counterpart sergei lavrov. they said all sides must make concessions. all this come amid a failurey of diplomacy, sparked by a change in approach from the new president trump. but this is the kicker. neither ukraine nor europe had a seat at the table today so while he was shut out of the talks in riyadh. ukraine's president, zelensky was in angara meeting his kurdish counterpart. they criticized the

russia. and america was so sure i'll just go to washington. well, the result, tina is from the democratic initiatives foundation, one of ukraine's oldest think tanks. she says a c san dale isn't on the horizon yet despite trump's conversation with him to, to your credit was constantly informed about the i'm going to seconds. we channels of communication between us and moscow. but the 1st school to put in i wouldn't over exaggerated significance because this is the roster who must be either kind of useful post actually to be constructive. and to start negotiations, ukraine here has declared already that they are ready. i mean you creating and the storage is there ready to, to talk about some temporary decisions like a ceasefire. but the rest of these not interested literally in that. that's why i wouldn't. so was a jury disaffected from cold, would you? but uh, the, the, the sense of this for the confidence of this conversation is the more challenging no write it to me because the drum is not full when she is. the prep is grab a presidential el

putting, and that in these talks to take place and saudi arabia, there be negotiators from russia, from america. and that's a lensky again. and his understanding has been invited. all of this. so of course is in the broader context of a dramatically changed us policy towards ukraine, which we just heard. our colleague james base summarize the us now no longer thinks that ukraine should join nato. also saying that europe should be excluded from the peace talks. this is according to trump's new envoy to russia and to ukraine, and also pete hex. of the new us secretary defense saying that the result of these peace talks would be unrealistic for ukraine to get back all of its territory loss to russia. since 2014 very difficult pills to swallow for the lensky as well as for europe, which is why we're seeing all this current con concern, continuing to develop with really us officials not doing much to assuage them. wouldn't even heidi ukraine's presence has been saying that you needs to be part of this and a not left out. absolutely, the landscape says europe must be part of this and we're hearing fr

any piece deal will be between russia and ukraine, russia and america. i was so sure, i'll just go to washington. you know, top of that of a has more and rushes reaction tools this for most good. and there are many positive comments. so russian politicians on the sloan anticipates of donald between the 2 presidents, even de, nobody's calling. it's a breakthrough. many say that old biscuit donald, there's a bunch of them. his absence people here. hopefully they see the trump is actively trying to keep his promise to boot and then to the when you trade. but still, there is no way to go before any turning points in relations between function the united states. because according to the russian side, from street assess, is, are responsible for the to ration of relations for too long. and patient is obviously not an easy person to negotiate with. he never gives into ultimatums. it's only possible that there will be any kind of the so called toe tricks change a criminal spokesman to the troops. coal also has said that russia is not discussing the issue of excha

to tulips, that they've been frozen out completely, that the tools are taking place between russia and america and crane simply isn't involved. now. keith caleb's was supposed to give a press conference yesterday with a lot of his lives, giving you credit and presence, that actually didn't happen at the request of the americans. now that just goes to show you that either donald trump or somebody high up in the warehouse at no price conference. oh, that he was very worried about the questions that he was going to get a balance, the us relationship and his current state. all of this is happened over just a few days and ukrainians are really from how quick this is a little change from ukraine being a from an storage highlight of the us and the us supporting them in diplomatic ways to vis. now, where you go, donald trump accusing landscape of being a dictator and having a full percent approval rating amongst is electra or the causal this happening is fighting continues. what's the latest from the front line? the weather's real push has been taken by the russians against ukrainian forces as taking

in our minds, the way that we look at the world are we look at russia versus america is, is that bradshaw was down here in america was up here, right? this is, this is our american. see those. we have a tendency and had had been educated to think that where the greatest nation on earth doesn't enter into the mind of an american. it's just like the world was created. you know, in the beginning, uh, you know, you have, you add them and even then there's george washington. and then there was america and then we thought of, you know, 2 world wars and where the greatest country on it, that's how it seems that we talk about those to the world versus the bad guys. and these guys are, you know, uh against us, really actually seeing all these movies of, of russia being this dark jury place and depressed and everybody's starving. and it's a really a horrible, more of a life the when i came to visit in february of 2023 i was, i was really shocked. so 1st of all, it's just beautiful. i got here after the operation was well underway. and i thought, well, i'm really going to be discriminated against pe

firstly, where ukraine says at the table, because they're all conversations taking place between russia and america. about you crate. the do not involve you crate. so that's a big concern. and the 2nd one is, is the special amboy keith kellogg's that keeps? keller was here. he was meeting with security with military people are also met with a president, so landscape. now when keith keller got his job, his official title was a special ed boy to the russian federation and ukraine. but now he's being referred to as a, the special and boy just to ukraine. the russians objected to keith kellogg. they said that he was a to pro ukrainian and so they was supposed to be a press conference. i mean, it was going to be a key press conference between zalinski and keith kellogg. but the american side, we're hearing said that that press conference requested that press conference is not happened. so the generalist will arrive. and then there was no statements from those a 2 man not but goes to show you that that is a reset of this relationship, whether it's a fractured relationship or not. we talked not all right,

s. president and mark the 1st contact in 3 years between the leaders of russia and america. the push limit is global. there to secure the heads of states agreed yesterday during a telephone conversation that they themselves would continue to contact and are looking to a separate meeting. and we also agreed that instructions would be given immediately to the relevant aids so that they can start the necessary work. now, of course, the work will be started quickly. it will be necessary to wait for certain developments. it will be possible to talk about where, when and so on interest, which was an important conversation, considering the situation of the last several years when there has been no high level contact between moscow in washington. but of course, that lack of contacts did not contribute at all to the search for any supplement options. the previous us administration held the view that everything should be done to ensure that the work continues. as far as we understand the current administration, and here's to the view that everything must be done to stop the war and fo

history in the making with the piece on the table in saudi arabia because the top diplomats from russia and america are set to beat to normalize relations and find a resolution to the ukraine conflict cabins bitterly understanding that the men's provisions are unattainable and that the new conditions for ending the hostilities and ukraine will be far worse for them as adults of reality, the united nations because a lot of the wednesday and fists, no discussions for settlements, can happen without p f. but yet the tools will go on. he's apparently, he's not even on the guest. and as europe looks for a spot on the sidelines, it is, you politicians hold emotional defaults and powers, but 0 plan of action is developed in a box of hungary text him. i went to slammed them.

there are tools taking place between russia and america about you crate that do not involve ukraine, so that is going to be a very, very serious concern moving forward. now keep kilo is the special envoy to ukraine when he got his job. in general. he was actually the special invoice to ukraine and the russian federation. but russia objected to him at cooling him, pro ukrainian. so now he's just dealing with the ukranian side. that was supposed to be a press conference that press conference didn't happen at the request of the americans . so there is this rapid reset of the relationship that keeps. kellogg says he is in ukraine to listen and report back to donald trump. but there's a lot of frustration coming from the ukranian side, particularly when it comes to these negotiations that taking place without ukraine and wrong cause i was just there keeps his won't kremlin spokesman dmitri pascals had to say about the deepening risk between the us and ukraine. utility per the underscore. film. visually there's always low interest to this page. ok, this code is you must have been especiall

but i'm trying to understand what should russia give over to america? i mean, the roster is the most sanction country in the world. they've tried to destroy the ruble. they've seized, confiscated will stolen the 350000000000 euros or of russian money. they blew up the north stream pipeline. i'm trying to understand, what should russia give to the west and return to whatever the rest is going to give to russia? can you help me get my head around that? you know, i've, so it is a of a subscribe to what you just said, and i always read the rates also towards the russian colleagues adobe to kind it so it's now not the time of the time. i have deep respect the russian capacity to part and uh, and to, to restart. and that's the concept of, of friendship that plays a tremendous role interaction history and also contemporary international relations . but this is now the time uh to, to take a hot co approach to rushes and national interests. and uh, what, what is known to attend the, from the russian side is so low denija security arrangement that is needed for t

there are tools taking place between russia and america about you crate that do not involve ukraine, so that is going to be a very, very serious concern moving forward. now keep kilo is the special envoy to ukraine when he go his job. in january. he was actually the special envoy to ukraine and the russian federation. but russia objected to him at cooling him, product, ukrainian. so now he's just dealing with the ukranian side. that was supposed to be a press conference that press conference didn't happen at the request of the americans. so there is this rapid reset of the relationship that keeps. kellogg says he is in ukraine to listen and report back to donald trump. but there's a lot of frustration coming from the ukranian side, particularly when it comes to these negotiations that are taking place without ukraine. and we're on con, which is their keith. okay, uh, we're just going to return back to you quite in a moment. i just want to bring you some breaking news that is just coming in to us, please. in israel say they're responding to reports of a boss explosion. this has taken

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 enough site in any negotiation? small and round? let's take a look at what's happening on the ground because fighting is continuing. a top russian military official says troops and making and what on says in the coast region. it's been occupied by ukrainian forces for nearly 6 months. that amount, of course, whatever happens on the ground, will give one or the other party to leverage in any seas file. if that's to come about what is happening, what's the latest? because russians are claiming that they've re taken large pots of tower tree of the and the ukrainians are claiming that they have be back in fish, fight thing in test russian forces. now, russian pulses do include also north korea and forces are fighting on the part of, on behalf of the russians. now, cost like you say is very, very important is russian territory. it is been occupied by ukraine right now. and in any ceasefire negotiations that her treat be

it was a meeting between russia and america. it came to us as a surprise, and i believe it was a surprise for many. all right, let's go live now to troll stratford, who joins us from chief and ukraine. charles, good to speak with you. ukraine, as we all know, not involved in these conversations that took place in the all. what's been the general reaction that you're hearing there? we spoke to a member as an excuse policy, a member of parliament, the chief of this country's foreign affairs committee. a gentleman called alexander murray mara's co earlier today, and we all spoke his reaction about what he saw which was going to be achieved in re all the and he really didn't. mentees was in any ways, he said absolutely nothing. he said, the reason for that is because the ukraine and rushes goals are completely in irreconcilable. he said that they would die immeasurably oppose in their positions, basically echoing what zalinski has been saying that any kind of deal, any kind of agreement behind ukraine's backs will not be recognized.

there are tools taking place between russia and america about you crate that do not involve ukraine, so that is going to be a very, very serious concern. moving forward now keep color is the special envoy to ukraine when he go his job. in january, he was actually the special invoice to ukraine and the russian federation. but russia objected to him at cooling him, product, ukrainian. so now he's just dealing with the ukranian side. that was supposed to be a press conference that press conference didn't happen at the request of the americans. so there is this rapid reset of the relationship that keeps kellog says he is in ukraine to listen and report back to donald trump. but there's a lot of frustration coming from the ukranian side, particularly when it comes to these negotiations that taking place without ukraine and wrong cause i was just there. keith, french president and manual non crawl is dear to travel to washington on monday to hold tunics with president trump as european lead as seek to ensure they play a key role in negotiations and the conflict in ukraine. i call and says

to negotiations, they don't have a seat at the table when it comes to negotiations between russia and america over ukraine, that they all being frozen out. and they're being frozen out because uh, they are not willing to give up the rest of mineral site. so would you said to be with trillions of dollars in return for us a that was something that was lensky is willing to talk about. but the deal that donald trump is offered, certainly the initial deal isn't good enough for ukraine. but beyond all of that, that is a feeling that the us trump, the us present. donald trump is simply repeating all of the russian distant probation lines that have been coming out of russia's in full scale invasion, began in 2022. the zalinski is a legitimate president. that is the unpopular and the, the us and europe has a band and ukraine. so now it's all about trying to figure out this new reality, the reset of the relationship with america. well, that means so you create and keeps. caleb's visit was very crucial because he can take those words back to donald trump, whether he has any sway over the u. s. president

we're looking here at the 1st high level meeting between russia and america in yes, that's right. the us peace delegation has been confirmed. trump special on board in the middle east. steve woodcock says he's going to the, to saudi arabia with his colleagues and reported to be there is also national security advisor. mike waltz and we've seen secretary of state marco rubio already arrived there in saudi arabia. and this is all with the goal of building trust with mosque out and making progress towards peace. and want to talk too much about that in specifically, maria, but i am going to night i'll be traveling there. and. ready the national, secure. ready the advisor, and we'll be having meetings at the direction of the president, and hopefully we'll, we'll, we'll make some really good progress with regard to russia. ukraine. yeah, so this, the us delegation is heading to saudi arabia. we have this time to go confirmation now that mario rubio, the us secretary of state, has touch down in saudi arabia. what, what about the russian side at any word from moscow? well, there had been

it was a meeting between russia and america. it came to us as a surprise. and i believe it was a surprise for many. charles stratford has more from keith. christ president below him is that is key has yet again said that any deal agreed in totes that he crane on pops off. will not be rec, realize, despite the relatively positive tone coming from us and russian officials in re, uh we've been trying to gauge the moved ways. members of zalinski is policy members of parliament here in kids. an aust, one member, what he sold the outcome of these 2 scenarios would be us absolutely nothing. absolutely nothing at best. what can happen, the negotiations might start, but i don't believe in the prospects of such and negotiation for very simple reason because our goals, i mean, russian and ukraine's goals are irreconcilable. they're diametrically opposed and put in the rush, or they have never, you know, if you look at the history they have never conducted negotiations on this negotiations versus go wins on to say that that would be no territorial concessions by you gr

there are tools taking place between russia and america about you crate that do not involve ukraine. so that is going to be a very, very serious concern. moving forward. now keep color is the special envoy to ukraine. when he go his job. in january, he was actually the special envoy to ukraine and the russian federation. but russia objected to him at cooling him, product, ukrainian. so now he's just dealing with the ukranian side. that was supposed to be a press conference that press conference didn't happen at the request of the americans. so there is this rapid reset of the relationship that keeps kellog says he is in ukraine to listen and report back to donald trump. but there's a lot of frustration coming from the ukranian side, particularly when it comes to these negotiations that taking place without ukraine and wrong cause i was just there. keeps said, i had an, i'll just say i am 23 fighters. take the streets of chicago and east and the all c clean up off to the seizure of the city. the question. one of the nice nature depleted countries in the world. it's here that the indus

not russia and america. i was so sure i'll just go to washington. when he came supplies of red rock, minerals could be the key to a piece deal according to president from the minerals of bible components. and many new technologies. and ukraine has potentially huge reserves and condra pulled from it. don't ask region this use mines adult, the landscape of ukraine's east, but the mining sector could be powering up and going into production again. ukraine sits on 12 trillion us dollars with the breast minerals needed to power technology, including lithium and titanium. it could be arrival to china, the world's biggest current supply. and that's interesting to the us, which is wary of china is rise globally to the famously transactional us present. donald trump says he is found the deal he wants to make with ukraine to help. and the wall, so we're looking to do a deal with your brain with giving the weapons and aid in return to read of materials and ukrainian presents. without them is lensky is open to the idea of russia. it's pot says the alms for mine
