u. s. has been ukraine's biggest backer for so many years. don't think this seems like an example of ukraine, biting the hand that feeds it well, you know, is the last case. frustration actually seems to have pushed him to the edge because you know, he's being well side line. he hasn't been invited to re add. uh, washington's policy is changing towards keeps on us top officials and now actually hitting the back of the lensky openly. actually quoting his behavior, unacceptable, as there needs to be a deep appreciation for what the american people, what the american taxpayer, what president trump did in his 1st term and what we've done sense. so some of the rhetoric coming out of key, frankly, and ins, insults to president trump were unacceptable. and so you said yesterday made a lot of news, bad mouth, and trump not a good idea, or is the landscape? what's the, what's the thought process here? well look, i mean, presence on sky, his country wouldn't exist without the generosity of the united states of america. so to say thank you. and if you di

$1.00 to $2.00, he was a new us defense secretary, how to say about ukraine on his 1st official trip abroad order. the u. s. has been the largest supplier financial and committed to support for ukraine. ne, to n d, a u strongly believe supplying more cash and weapons to keep is the best way to end the war. but the us under trump, things differently. we want like you, a sovereign and prosperous ukraine. but we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and caused more suffering headsets also said ukraine must abandon any idea of joining data. and that the us had no intention of sending tubes to the country to support any peace deal. earlier in the day, the native secretary general said the alliances members were increasing their defense spending to reach 2 percent of that g d p. this home where your brain is on the battlefield, the strong that they will be as if you go straight to the table. the greater the chance of getting a good deal for the lasting piece. this is gnome is also russian. besides trying

the now there's a 2 raising relationship between ukraine and the u. s. has been dealt another blow . president donald trump is double down and to ukraine. rhetoric saying the country needs to come to the negotiating table as despite borrowing ukraine's leadership from earlier talks with russia. i've had very good talks with put and i've had not such good talks with ukraine, they don't have any cards, but they play a tough but we're not. we're not gonna let this continue. this is worse to have. it would have never happened if i were president, but it did happen so i got stuck with it and the whole world is stuck with it. and right now you have a country that has it cities, they look like demolition sites. those beautiful towers, those 1000 year old golden domes, that was so beautiful the most beautiful in the world. they say they're all in smithereens. millions of people are killed. i think far more people than anyone understands. and we have people that better get to the table, get it ended, which helps comments come us as administrator and pushes to sign a contr

ukraine. one of his. busy official trip approved the u. s. has been the largest supplier of finance, some of the support for ukraine they to and they use strongly believes supply more cash and weapons to key if is the best way to end the war. both of us under term things differently. we want like you, a sovereign and prosperous ukraine. but we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and caused more suffering. x, it also said ukraine must abandon any idea of joining the day to the us, had no intention of sending troops to the country to support any peace deal. earlier in the day, the native secretary general set the alliances, members were increasing that defense spending to reach 2 percent of that g. d. b. this home were ukraine, theirs on the battlefield. the stronger day will be attending, go straight to the table. the greater the chance of getting a good deal for the lasting piece. this is bo, this of, to russian beside strike target

has been open with his. this is about so much. u. s. military aid going to ukraine has the self induced stance somewhat. i think that there's no real sense that he's self when he's done, but we do remember the date events. he's not speaking independently. now. he is representing donald trump here. and this is something you definitely get from all of the members of the trump in registration. they're always very quick to refer to to donald trump is, is, is the man behind everything. um, but change events when he was here a year ago and he was still a us senate sir. uh, was talking about um, well, from his point of view that the united states simply could not uh, justify the, the amount of funding that was going to ukraine. and the dates of defense, industrial complex could not sustain the volume of you, munitions, and other weapons that were going to ukraine. and that to be on the basis of that, that, that had to reduce the position. now stated by the us administration, is that it's up to the europeans to take over the lion's share of providing the weapons and financial support to the great news, which of

u. s. has been sending when it comes to its support for ukraine or like golf. does that leave ukraine on the back foot when it comes to any kind of negotiations with russia as well? yes, it does. but on the other hand, i think you, you have to remember that it is going to be very, very difficult. suppose that lensky to sell any piece of green to his, i'm lines, i'm to pulse of the ukrainian population. and if he can say, look, and the americans decided this, it, most of me thought we have no choice. let's go along with that. if you can basically plain but for some on washington, that could actually be helped as it is when it comes to agreeing to piece. in terms of keeping ukraine out of the new. if you crane is not a policy to what is agreed, it's salt bound, does it to follow any plan that is decided what's to stop it from just continuing to find so well, i mean the thing is, uh, as i say if it comes to nature membership or us of the precise nature of us on supplies to ukraine. oh, the overall balance between us and russian sources in europe. but these are mos

has spent $357.00 in the 8 for ukraine. yeah. will you bring up a good point? i mean, the u. s. has been the key of regimes largest backer over these last several years . doesn't that seem like you have spiting the hand that feeds it well? you know, so let's case frustration seems to have actually pushed him to the edge. you know, he hasn't been invited to re add, he has a now we're seeing a change of washington's policy towards k of a new west top officials and now actually hitting back into lend space, a paid cleaning, his behavior unacceptable. there needs to be a deep appreciation for what the american people, what the american taxpayer, what president trump did in, in his 1st term and what we've done sense. so some of the rhetoric coming out of key, frankly, and ins, insults to president trump were unacceptable. and so you said yesterday made a lot of news bad mouthing trump, not a good idea of or is the landscape? what's the, what's the thought process here? well, look, i mean, prisoners, lensky, his country wouldn't exist without the generosity of the united states of america. so

u. s. p. all consultants, levine, molding ukraine's public image for decades. so the fact is that there's been americans working in ukraine in politics and has proven consulting since, i mean after 5. so here you see a lot of poor the cramped up on the phones as well studying united states, for instance, born here in order to learn new skills and to bring them back to work here in the print. overall, i think there's been a positive for both the korean as well as for the americans who've been able to also benefit from getting to know that you're creating counterparts. there's no actual separation between t r firms and the government in ukraine. government in the united states and the government in, in, in the u. k. so many of the staffers in these p r firms, real estate between the british governments, ukrainian government and various p r firms will, if you look at the ukraine crisis media center, for example, that's funded by the us government, by the european union, from by different embassies and that is pumping out government this information to media outlets and has been since 2014 the, the presence of a c, a is more through cut outs like the national endowment

the hundreds of billions that have been provided so far in this conflict, but also to kind of move forward then the u. s has a vested interest, not just to protect ukraine and ukrainian to protect us financial interest there. i think that's, that's a good result for everybody. i think it also lays a good ground work for the us to restore peace and prosperity relationships with russia as well. i think one of the worst things that we've done at this conflict, and there's a lot, is that we have pushed russia and china closer together rather than keeping good relations with russia and continuing to, to keep good financial military and policy relations. they are. so i think this prospect of doing something financially and investment wise with ukraine opens the door to return the good business with russia as well. the more i look up, the details of this needs and more questions i have. the propose agreement states that the us will have the economic and governance, right? so any money to have makes from its resources and it will decide where that money is spent in ukraine, where what do you expect the money to be invested as well as it can in reconstruction of

on the other hand, has been fractured at times. trump labeling him the greatest salesman on us for his ability to extract hundreds of billions of dollars in u. s. military a to ukraine. with crumbs and food and seemingly in the drivers seat of these new negotiations. the landscape tried to spend the developments as a sign of american ukrainian unity viewed him was so silly, a medicare we believe that americans power is enough to together with us together was all partners pressure of russia and putting towards pc which is not in the dawns of international diplomacy. so lensky increasing the finds himself with opposite partner isolates, and with ukraine's aspirations of nathan membership. now incentives is facing the reality of having to make concessions fall great to then each country and the hundreds of thousands who has made the ultimate sacrifice for it would have a want mike level l g a 0 for inside stores. okay, let's bring in august. joining us from moscow is vladimir something called an independent political scientist and an associate professor of international relations of the high school of economics. and brussels is to raise a fall on the founder and direct

ukraine as well. because i think many of nato, a worried about the future of the transatlantic alliance, whether the u. s. is committed, as it has been since the foundation of nato, to step in and support europe if needed. so big, big questions about the international order to otherwise, diplomacy is dom unsettling times is i think how many people here many diplomats will describe the situation will hit more, i think, specifically on ukraine in the coming hours. because a presidency lensky is going to speak further today. he's also going to speak with a big speech on saturday here. but we're also going to here in the next hour or so from j defense, vice president of the united states sites making one of the big speeches here at the v like security conference. all right, that's out here is diplomatic editor james base. joining us live for munich, thanks so much james. i shifted u. s. foreign policy will have major consequences for europe, and that's according to the 2025 munich security conference report. it says donald trump's presidential victory has buried the us post cold war. a foreign policy consensus that a grand strategy of li

u. s. k i d, and reveals that list of expenditures don't include meals for. i'll tell you the affiliated estimates in syria from dennis wheeler to ukraine. we look at how the agency has been spending billions to further washington this agenda under the guise of humanitarian also in the program coming off the yalta conference, which brought together the postwar allied leaders of churchill f t r on spelling parks. it's 80th street. the meeting was pivotal in the creation of the united nations and to come to us the nuns broke today to reform that to the face is arts international. my name's unit illegal in 30 minutes of using views starts. not the oval office is cracking dawn on us a id. by so miles washington's regime change agency, you will must cause already threatened to shut the rates as part of his efforts and leading the new government, the efficiency department, the white house press secretary, or the lead i'd were selling the big sums. i've gone a look at the waste and abuse that has run through usa id over the past several years. these are some of the insane priorities that that organization has been spending money on $1500000.00 to advance the d. i in serbia's wor
