citizens in ukraine.owhere to be seen because zelenskyy is not in the white house right now. we do not see how the relationship can be mended. helena: very good to have your reporting. thank you. let's go now to our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse. james, we were just discussing the reaction, including from the ukrainian press, but i just wanted -- speaking to ukrainians there, what are people saying? correspondent: if you are watching ukrainian tv tonight, it was reported in quite a straight, measured way. they simply referred to a mineral deal that was not signed, but of course it is the spectacular way things broke down in the oval office which has shocked many, and there are a lot of people expressing their shock online. here in kyiv, the people we spoke to are actually quite proud of the way blood muzoon ski -- volodymyr zelenskyy stood up to a shouting assault by the president and vice president. this is still, nevertheless, a high-stakes visit for ukraine's leader. this was not about purely

we are really are right now and it is a dire situation for ukraine., we know that is something president trump likes to do, referring back to what specifically former president biden and president obama have done in the past. was president zelenskyy ever going to get what he wanted here today? we've heard from president trump all week that he was not prepared to entertain the notion of a security backstop until there was a peace deal done. he said that again in the meeting and that was a key demand of president zelenskyy i've had of today. guest: absolutely. and that is a key expectation for all ukrainians. we have had experiences throughout these 11 years of war if you want, with russia, less intensely before 2022, a full-scale invasion after 2022. but we know that unfortunately, we could entrust everything the russian leadership was saying. so that's why the population expects some sort of guarantees this time around. if there is a cease fire, we don't want this war to rekindle at some point and russia will be in yet a better position after having r

and ukraine would be so much safer as the neutral state that it was that would have protected ukraine. because neutrality is not a danger. neutrality is a protection asked sweden, finland austria during the decades that it had neutrality, not the nato period of the last year. this is ridiculous, they were safe with him trial of the austria's safe with neutrality. but they chose the block approach that's on the safe on line. you can read how it seems at times of change from says the landscape needs to well make ending the beloved shed. his top priority, otherwise he's not welcome in washington, a trump reinstated more than one c repeatedly set. the goal is face at all costs. so you can read about that, right? there were dots. we dot com for now. the program around to or presidential elections and up costs you said to take place this saturday a to candidates bought that are going by and i go to the zoom barge buying to lead the nation over now. as far as senior correspondent on location. the hard. yeah. is the land of tremendous potential spots it's. it's small size. it is a lush power.

and still respects trump, but wants him to be more on ukraine's side. it just says fire without security going into this so sensitive for all of people. i'm, i'm speaking like a president of the people who are in this struggle 3 years. and they, you just want to hear that america on our side and america will stay with us the instructions with us. that's it. but you finance have been reacting to that exchange between the leaders. here's what some people and keep having saying that from the law just for the, for my to this is a complete failure on the parts of us diplomacy, which is currently nothing such a strong country. and yet it's in a weak position and supporting a dictatorship. the yours is basically causing a rush as fees, as soon as he also pauses those leading to the us decline was the us support is very important for us because it's money. and for us that's very important. we don't have our own resources and everybody understands this perfectly. therefore, i think that this will have a rather strong impact on our situation and the course of our

stand with ukraine.eting with us, meeting with. >> us as. >> senators in private and receiving standing ovations. >> we had a joint. >> session of congress where he addressed us and we stood up. >> and people. >> have said time and time again. >> that this. >> is a stand not just. >> in. >> defense of ukraine, but defense of democracy. >> and if we lose. >> in ukraine. >> then authoritarian leaders around the world will be more emboldened and america will be dragged into more and more conflicts. defending democracy against autocracy and authoritarianism. >> so this. >> is a significant moment and a significant shift in american history, where we have our. >> president. >> who is taunting a world leader, lying about his approval ratings, lying about who started the war, lying about who is the dictator, accusing. zelenskyy of being a dictator and not the obvious one in vladimir putin taunting him. before he came in? this is the guy who was impeached once. one of. >> his two. >> impeachments was over him tr

i mean ukraine needs this deal. macron, france, britain, nobody can help except for the president of the united states and right now they are at all it's. >> that is the very fervent reality. president trump was very clear he campaigned on in america first policy. he wanted our foreign policy to benefit americans and i think that's the new thing that we haven't seen. of course the context of this is that americans have felt frustrated that we continue to be involved in these foreign wars, funnel hundreds of billions of dollars to a country like ukraine and that the same time we are neglecting our own citizens so often. president trump wanted to deliver what he saw as a win for americans, where we broker peace. at the same time cut a deal that benefits us. that was of course the understanding. that's part of the reason why treasury secretary went to discuss this with zelenskyy and zelenskyy got on a plane. everyone had the expectation that there would be a deal and then as soon as the cameras come in, it obviously we

. >> of ukraine is a. dictator and started the war against russia. >> no. >> no, i don't know. >> i was i like i said, i voted for the first tranche. no ukraine didn't start the war. >> i. >> i. you know i, i'm not. have you expressed. >> your opinion. >> to trump. >> is it donald trump. no. no. >> why is he stood there for everything he. >> said you. >> as. >> your voice. >> i don't think that the president's. >> goals are not what everybody wants, which is to end the war, right? >> end the war. >> so if you don't. >> want to end. >> the war. >> if you don't. >> want. >> to end. >> the war, then you're in a different position. >> you've got. to you've got to have some type of negotiated. >> end to this. >> he's he's certainly. pushing hard. >> for that to happen. >> at the table. >> and. >> if. >> that table. >> would you. >> do. >> that with him. >> i can't. >> speak over everybody. and if and if. >> zelensky zelensky needs to be in the room. >> he absolutely. >> needs to be i. >> i. >> don't. disagree w

it stands with the ukraine here in romania, the president saying that ukraine security was crucial for your security. and the fight was for the common values of freedom and democracy. these are just some of the comments that are being coming out from european leaders. as women mentioned that some of them, of course, i'm elected to the positions the check president's saying time for you to step up its efforts. and that is something we heard from many is because the reality is now is the u. s. is backing away from ukraine. it will be europe that is left to step up to most of the mess. essentially. trump and vance. have put on a disgraceful show. i am ashamed of that behavior. the us deserves something better . the free world must support ukraine. i was and still am with a zelinski. nobody wants peace more than the ukrainians do. therefore, we are working on a common path to a lasting and just peace. ukraine can rely on germany and on europe. there's a lensky, dear ukrainian friends, you are not alone. well, no to everybody towing that line and coming out from brussels, we heard from the

russia is the bad guy, ukraine is the good guy. and when we continue to attack ukraine and defend russia, that puts us in line with the bad guys, which is not where america wants to be. >> well, it's very clear. >> pete, of american allegiances, because that's what it kind of seems like. >> well, actually, i want to weigh in on the clothing. i know you're trying to distract us from it, but. >> i do, i do, i do, but this is why i know this. this is the clothing is a distraction. i'm not trying to. i'm trying. >> to focus. let me, let me, let me. >> you came at me, so i'm going to respond. >> but as as an alum of the george w. bush white house, i have an old fashioned view of this and a pretty hard line. tie jacket, no jeans, oval office. that's where i stand on this. but if we're going to hold on, hold. can you let me finish? because that's exactly what. >> i was about to say. didn't even if we're going to have, you know how zelenskyy well played. >> president zelenskyy for what he's wearing, then we should also criticize elon musk

and ukraine.a brown has the latest from the white house. >> reporter: with the world watching, president trump and vice president j.d. vance publicly berated ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. >> during the war everybody has problems. even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. god bless. >> you don't know that. >> god bless, god bless. >> don't tell us what we're going to feel. we're trying to solve a problem. don't tell us what we're going to feel. >> i'm not telling you. >> you're in no position to dictate that. remember this. you're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. >> reporter: the conversation turned contentious as zelenskyy questioned vice president vance about russia honoring any deal. >> what kind of diplomacy, j.d., you are speaking about? what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes, but if -- >> mr. president, with respect i think it's disres

so the board res existed in ukraine. on march the 10th 2022 pentagon press secretary, john covey made a special statement on the mass. so we are not developing bio, logical, or chemical weapons inside you. crank is not avenue. now people were starting to realize how disingenuous and untruthful the united states has been with a lot of these vile, the biological labs that have been in ukraine. they've been getting a lot of coverage there is. now i do have one eye witness account. there was a laboratory biological laboratories, maybe car to you've you remember i told you that i have a whistle blower in car keith. and this whistle blower is the one that gave me a bunch of documents. it's interesting that he sends me this document here. institute of veterinary medicine of the national academy area. the academy of agrarian sciences donor department of defense of the united states of america beneficiary, the state committee, veterinary medicine of ukraine. the connection between the arrival of us bio lab specialist and bizarre

support for ukraine?le russia cheers zelenskyy's treatment at the white house by president trump and vice president vance as america's allies are left reeling from the historic breakdown and later. more breaking news involving new details in the mystery surrounding the deaths of film icon gene hackman, his wife and one of their dogs. good evening to you. i'm jim sciutto in tonight for anderson. we begin tonight with the breaking news. new reaction from ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy just a short time ago, his first comment since the very public shouting match that played out at the white house today live on television, the implications of the day are massive as yet unknown. a short time ago, president zelenskyy appeared on fox. >> so i'm not hearing from you, mr. president. a thought that you owe the president an apology. >> no, i respect president and i respect american people. and if i don't know if i think that we have to be very open and very honest, and i'm not sure that we did something bad

to ukraine? >> well, donald trump is certainly not reliable and trustworthy in any sense. he wasn't reliable and trustworthy as a business partner when he was in real estate because he declared bankruptcy six times and was widely known to walk away from contracts and to shun his business partners. and that is an m.o. that has continued his entire life. and we see that playing out in stunning fashion in the oval office today. my hope is that vladimir, uh, vladimir putin doesn't continue to take advantage of this opportunity, although he probably will. i mean, that's what he does and what he's so good at. but president zelenskyy and our european partners and allies have to figure out a way to salvage this. this is just a, you know, truly unbelievable. and we are smaller as a country as a result of what donald trump and jd vance did today. i mean, the world is watching this, and our partners are watching this, and our adversaries are watching this. it does not capture the essence of this. uh, we are

you think, are they going to stop supporting ukraine? what's going to dictate what happens going forward? a unclear at this point. i mean, there's a, there was a saying that we in the united states had, after, or prior to the us invasion of iraq. you know, if you break it, you own it. uh, the truck administration has broken the elias between united states ukraine and now they own the consequences of that you'll can ukraine survive and it's current state without you are dramatic us military assistance. probably. okay, in the short term. certainly not sustainable in the long term. so i think you're once the, um, the anger on all sides passes. the question will be, you know, can cooler heads, try to sticks this back together again over time, but it's going to take time, you know, to accomplish. then you say the trump administration has broken the lines, the trump administration is clearly trying to create something very different than, than what the americans and europeans are used to. is that the might going to lead or couldn't lead to, to

and ukraine would be so much safer as the neutral state that it was that would have protected ukraine. because neutrality is not a danger. neutrality is a protection asks, we mean finland, austria, during the decades that it had neutrality, not the nato period of the last year. this is ridiculous, they were safe with neutrality. austria is safe with neutrality, but they chose the block approach that's on the safe. certainly seems to tell them . so i've changed trump saying zelinski needs to make ending the beloved shed his top priority. otherwise, he's not welcome with washington. trump reiterating more than once the goal is, the goal is piece that uphold costs. read about that on life. you know the website, the final here on the program around to of presidential elections. and i've kazi or so to take place, this stuff that i a to kind of, it's bundled a good book and i'd go to the gym or a bind to lead the nation over. now to our senior correspondent, there's the hard. yeah. is the land of tremendous potential spots, it's, it's small size. it is a lush tropical power, thus stretches

i was in ukraine that night three years ago when russia invaded, launching missiles across ukraine. you and i were on the air for hours. and there was such support for ukraine here at home. ukrainian flags flying in american neighborhoods. americans even heading to ukraine to help in the fight. and there was enormous support for president zelenskyy, who told you, when you traveled into kyiv in those early days, how thankful he was for the support of americans. he said the same thing to me a year later. and there has been so much support from americans for the refugees, the mothers and their children, who you met, david, and who we profiled together. they often asked, will we have a country to return to? but the future of the u.s. relationship with ukraine is now unclear. tonight, european allies are standing behind zelenskyy. the uk prime minister, who met with trump just yesterday, promising his unwavering support for zelenskyy. but meanwhile, vladimir putin's close allies in russia are celebrating the descent into chaos after this meeting with one official delighting in calling it

ukraine's ambassador to the u.s.r head in shame, lunch was canceled, the joint press conference also canceled, the signing of the minerals deal is off the table for now. the state department has already terminated funding for ukraine's energy grid restoration and president trump instructed zelenskyy to come back when he is ready for peace. and by the way, if there is a next time, you may want to put on that suit, it is the white house. take a look. >> why don't you wear a suit? [laughter] 190 where a suit? you are the highest level in this country's office and you refuse to wear a suit. do you own a suit? >> yes. >> a lot of americans have problems. >> i don't have such. i will put on the costume after this war will finish. maybe something like yours, yes. maybe something better, i don't know. we will see. maybe something cheaper. >> sean: you need to keep in mind that historically this is not the first time that zelenskyy has disrespected the u.s. you may recall joe biden reportedly lost his temper with zelenskyy be

signs this agreement with ukraine? >> we are going to be continuing. >> zelenskyy, do you feel like u.s. is on your side at this moment? >> what do you think? >> he wants to know that -- sort of a stupid question. i guess we wouldn't be here if i wasn't. >> i think united states on our side from very beginning of occupation. i think president trump on our side and of course i'm sure that united states president will not stop support. this is crucial for us and president speaks of putin and others who are dying but they came to our territory, they came to our land. this is a question really the most important question. can president trump i hope yes with some other allies to stop putin, withdraw these enemies from our land. and i think you asked about the history. i think that if president or when he will stop putin, if president trump will bring peace to our country. >> we have had very good talks. >> president zelenskyy said there will be no compromises with vladimir putin. >> terrorists. >> are there compromises you

but what does no deal mean for ukraine? >> well, first of all, i would like to just put myself in zelenskyy's shoes for a moment today. and and reacting to the statement from lindsey graham, just want to point out that zelenskyy's behavior today, his words today, are no different than the same words, the same dress code, and the same behavior that he had months ago when he spoke to the american congress, american senate, and the same lindsey graham responded very favorably to exactly the same strong patriotic, anti-putin words. and just imagine how he feels today with in person, actually behaving completely differently. and it's somewhat hypocritical in terms of a no deal. um, well, first of all, there was not there may not be a deal between the united states and russia. there may not be a deal between the united states and ukraine. but what has happened today is definitely triggering a much stronger, unified response by europe, essentially in support of ukraine. um, russia was hoping for a deal because the sanctions are wo

to ukraine. the rest of the money went to funding the u.s. response to the war and aid to other impacted countries. in today's meeting at the white house, it drew media reaction from around the globe. i spoke to leon panetta, former cia director and white house chief of staff. >> i think it was a terrible and disturbing moment, to have the president and the vice president having a shouting match with an ally who is kind of fighting to save their democracy in ukraine and what it meant for me is that it kind of has turned our foreign policy on its head because for 80 years, since world war ii, the united states, both democratic and republican presidents, have pretty much stood for the same thing. they stood for world leadership, supporting our allies, standing up to tyrants, and supporting strong democratic values. today i think that was all turned on its head. >> so as president trump has been pushing for access to ukrainian natural resources in exchange for u.s. assistance, zelenskyy left the whi

well, they have come almost universally in support of ukraine. we've had from the french president mccall and saying that is important to remember that russia is.

jd vance is trying to kill ukraine. he's been trying to kill ukraine. aid along with tucker and don jr., and a large part of the trump administration, but not all of it. and he's fighting a faction inside the trump administration that is actually trying to help ukraine. and that faction is losing. the jd faction is winning. and zelenskyy played into that unwittingly, probably. but it really has tragic consequences because now president trump believes that zelenskyy is the problem and not putin, which is not actually true. >> well, that seems as though putin. >> is the problem. >> but if, if if it was a preconceived and a foregone conclusion based on what you're talking about, that was that was there then in many respects, what would you have him do? he was supposed to do what would have been the ideal scenario and still maintain his integrity on behalf, again, on behalf of the people of this country who are looking to the president of ukraine to say, we are fighting, we need to have our pride. and by the way, we've been invaded by someone who thinks not

they understand why the russian government set trips into ukraine. they understand that the american policy was a failure and it's time to start fresh. also, nobody wins in these wars. they, they bankrupt nations, they kill and they name. if we're going to stand up for peace, then let's stand up for peace. and this is a good way to start by ending this conflict and ukraine. of course, that is what a puts in has been saying over the years. let's talk less dialogue less and this. exactly, and that's so much as they to help countries grow, citizen is develop, make 1st, become press for us. now, some of the democrats have said that the us administration has positioned itself on the side of russia in the ukraine crisis, and that it's betraying the nation's bodies. i wonder what your comment is, is that what do you see? no, that is not at all what i see. what i see is that the use of sanctions as a, as a weapon has failed for the united states. i see the that the state department's policy of working as hard as possible to not speak to our adversaries has f

france, germany, ukraine and russia and he broke it 25 times. that is why we will never accept just a ceasefire. it will not work without security guarantees. security guarantees -- maybe the president is right about these documents and others but but this document is not enough. a strong army is not enough. putin's soldiers are afraid of our soldiers when we are strong enough. if our storage is empty we cannot defend our land. today, you know, you know, he knows that we have -- all the world knows we have a meeting. why is he using ballistic? putin today using ballistic on hospitals and schools. ballistic. he knows we are here and that president trump has goodwill to stop this war. and you hear now the president. so he doesn't want to stop it? but i hope we will do it. security, when we speak about security guarantees, when the europeans are ready for contingents, they need usa. -- backstop. if there will not be united states, we will never have strong contingents from the europeans because they do not want to divide alliance, the connection be

the one was seen in ukraine elsewhere, don't repeat in the future. so this is about, i'm really, really finding the global balance of power and you know, for the us and west, more in general to accept the multi polar nature of today's global reality. and even allow for the peaceful rise abuse centers of power. china, of course. but also russia and in this sense, yes, we've heard of positive statements old. so kind of acknowledging the multi polar um, reality of today's world from key trump. yeah. administration officials. but i still think that, you know, trump remains young. this is my greatest warranty, but hold on to a southern side of supremacist and hedge, a monic view of american power. and even more importantly, at 0, some view of international relations. why the relative decrease of mountain power due to the rise above the powers continues to be seen in terms of a threat to america is kind of vital security interest rather than just the 1st step towards america. just becoming a normal country. and i find this, um, i think this, this is probab

he says the blow up in the oval office is a bad luck for the us and ukraine. this was supposed to be a very straightforward, you know, diplomatic initiative. you know, to sure up us ukrainian relations prior to the beginning of the goal. she ations and obviously what we're seeing now is the relationship in adult spiral. adults on clear if for the leaders can that can pull it out before it actually crashes. the truck administration has broken the alliance between united states ukraine and now they own the consequences of that. you know, can ukraine survive in its current state without you are dramatic us military assistance. probably. ok in the short term, certainly not sustainable in the long term. so i think you're once the um, the anchor on all sides passes. the question will be, you can cooler heads, try to sticks this back together again over time, but it's going to take time, you know, to accomplish then clearly the truck administration has been signaling a dramatic shift in us policy towards ukraine. you know, but this was mismanaged by the white house.

ukraine is fighting and ukraine lives. this is very important. and maybe it is putin sharing this information that he destroyed us. he lost 700 thousand people. 700,000 soldiers he lost. >> what did he tell you -- >> that's what i do. my whole life is deals. i've known him for a long time. i have dealt with him for a long time. he had to suffer through the russia hoax. i was all biden -- that was all biden, said he had to suffer through that. i think he wants to make a deal and he would like to see it end. that's all they do. my whole life that's what i do is make deals. i'm in the middle of a mess because this is a real mess. it's a very dangerous one. if this doesn't get solved now, it's not going to get sold for a long time. in the back please. >> prime minister starmer claimed repeatedly that his government believes in free speech and is not engaged in censorship. pressuring american companies to censor americans. how can he be a reliable partner when he says things that are demonstrably false? >> we spoke to him about that yesterday. we thou

the close of the white house, ukraine's president. but ultimately, lensky was pro rated by us president donald trump and vice president j. d vons on live television. so, so landscape says his relationship with donald trump, tom be salvaged off to this extraordinary, who was in the oval office. he says he need security guarantees before entering any piece, tools with russia, and official reports from the white house. but you will feel the historic walls of the oval office of god in many secrets. this was all played out in front of the camera. don't tell us what we're going to feel a staggering exchange between the us president his number 2 and the leader of his ukranian allies. raised voices pointed fingers loaded mirrors. the landscape accused of being disrespectful to the country, which is supported him through 3 years of war. and donald trump insisting you should be more grateful. you will allow the example to be right around the word beginning of the war, not in a good position. it was, you don't have to cards right now with us. yo

support to ukraine. i sincerely hope that there is still time, and there's still a possibility to sign the agreement. igor markov is with the bay area nonprofit noho ukraine, which provides humanitarian aid to the country. he says ukrainians who have been hard hit by three years of war are also facing shortages in resources after the u.s. recently dismantled usaid. it's very difficult to see, you know, the calculation or the rationale behind possibly, you know, not signing the agreement and not continuing the aid in the south bay. congressman sam liccardo says he's worried about what trump's actions mean for u.s. support in other democracies. it's a disgrace. the president is betraying the ukrainian people. he's betraying many long standing allies. other european leaders chimed in in support of zelenskyy after this exchange, like french president emmanuel macron, who emphasized that ukraine is the victim. the ukrainians we spoke with say they're encouraged to see that support and worried about what will

again, it's not just about ukraine. it's about the international world order. >> and you think in your article you say that trump doesn't. it's not it's not just a matter of respecting putin, that he's imitating him. >> absolutely. that's what he's doing here. it's just it's it's basically abandoning the systems of checks and balances and the, the functioning democracy that served america well for 200, 250 years. >> and i think gary makes a really important point. we've said over the last three years, the world is watching. xi in china, kim in north korea, the rulers of iran are watching. and what trump demonstrated is weakness, pathetic abandonment of an ally who has been bleeding and dying. and then the audacity to say that zelenskyy doesn't want peace. this man has led the country bleeding and dying. he's lost friends. he's gone to visit the amputees. i've been with him at times when he has mourned and really. indescribably grieved for his country, and he's led it with courage and determination. in the first russian

we don't need ukraine. they do rely on us, and they have been as successful as they have been because of the hundreds of billions of dollars of your money that has been spent on this war that has ended right now in a stalemate. the american people stop paying that money. they will be in an awful position. you have generously supported them financially, militarily. we've offered humanitarian aid. and this, of course, in their brave fight against a truly malignant vladimir putin. nobody disputes that. if this keeps going, there's not going to be a country left. so let's be clear. zelenskyy's behavior today at the white house, it's unacceptable. but don't take my word for it on x, one of ukraine's biggest supporters in washington, senator lindsey graham, posted this on. fortunately, america was disrespected and the deal is off. i have never been more proud of president trump, vice president vance, for standing up for america first, and then senator graham went to the microphones, had this to say. take a look.

i hated exchange between ukraine surprises. and then donald trump brought to me is lensky lisa whitehouse abruptly without signing a mental state. the hello. this is algae. 0 live from dell ha. fully that people. european leaders have been quick to defend president george misa lensky fledging support for ukraine. busy also in the use, the phrase phrase of ramadan, a hand in guy's eyes, palestinians observe, observe the holy month. i mean, the devastation of war and an extradition that'd be us is waited 40 years or 2 mexican drug lords arrive to face, just as in america, the ukrainian president, what it means. and then he says he's relationship with us. present. donald trump can be salvaged after a public war for us in the oval office. talk spirals out of control over how to bring rushes war to an and so lensky says, he won't enter peace talks until ukraine has guarantees against another offensive island fishing has won the extra ordinary cash at the white house. but you will feel the historic walls of the oval office of god did

but ukraine is fighting and ukraine lives. this is very important. maybe it's putin sharing that he destroyed us. he lost 700,000 people. 700,000 soldiers, he lost everything, yes. reporter: when did you last speak with president putin? president trump: a couple of days ago. reporter: and what did he tell you -- president trump: that's what i do. my whole life are deals. and i've known him for a long time. i've dealt with him for a long time. he had to suffer through the russia hoax. russia, russia, russia. it was a hoax. it was all biden nothing to do with him. he had to suffer through that. he was able to do that. i think that he wants to make a deal. and he would like to see it end. it's all i do. my whole life is what i do, i make deals. i'm in the middle of a mess because this is a real mess. it's a very dangerous one if this doesn't get solved now it's not going to get solved for a long time. so i hope we're going to get it solved in the back, please. >> thank you, president. starmer repeat had that his country believe in free speech and does n

access to ukraine's rare earth minerals, and no guarantee the u.s.ntinue defending his country. white house officials say that is partly because trump felt disrespected and didn't like how zelenskyy shrugged and rolled his eyes during that oval office exchange. >> maurice: okay, ed, so zelenskyy left the white house, walked out of there, then what happened? >> reporter: well, cbs news has learned ukrainian officials called the white house this afternoon after zelenskyy's departure trying to restart the talks, but they were told trump didn't want to talk to him again today. multiple european officials also called top aides asking about the future of the rare earth minerals deal and whether or not it has any potential to continue, and we are also told tonight, importantly, there is no talk of pushing for zelenskyy to step down or for the u.s. to support someone else to lead ukraine. >> maurice: okay, ed o'keefe at the white house tonight, thank you. >> john: this evening, in an interview on the fox news channel, zelenskyy was asked if he owes president

it is an honor to have president zelenskyy of ukraine. we have been working very hard and very close. we have known each other for a long time. we had a little negotiation spat but that worked out great for both countries and the world. we have something that is a very fair deal. we have something that i it and digging and working and getting some of the rare-earth but it means we will be inside and it's a big commitment from the united states and we appreciate working with you very much and we will continue to do that. we have had some good discussions with russia. i spoke with president putin and we will try to bring this to a close. it is something you want and he wants. we have started the confines of a deal and i think something could happen. the big thing is the number of soldiers mostly at this point but soldiers being killed on both sides and we went to see it stop and we want to see the money get put to different use, like the rebuilding, and we will be working hard but we have had a lot of good conversations and we will say the

she has stood with ukraine. so i think you see others standing up, as you just noted, with president zelensky, and i hope we see more of that in the next few days. we have no choice but to move forward. >> senator, let me pick up on something you just said. you said you've talked to your republican counterparts tonight. what are they saying? >> well, there are i've talked to two, and they would like to get this back on track. i don't think that they will be saying that publicly right now. i don't know when, but we really don't have a choice when dealing with donald trump. i listened to the entire marco rubio interview tonight, and while i completely disagreed with him as he berated again, zelensky, if you anyone, i just ask your viewers to watch that tape. watch j.d. vance's body language. watch zelensky saying, now, could i answer that? do you mind? he was polite and he's not even english. it's not obviously his first language, but i believe we're going to have to move forward and find a way forward. there are.

the suspicion that the conflict in ukraine was provo unprovoked. and he said, you know, and then we had a pete hague said say, well, it's more complicated than that. that is a see change. i mean, that is in credible because what i have argued on this program for 3 years is that all the west has is framing and narratives. is divorced from reality. reality is seeping in here, but i don't see where it's going beyond bettering bilateral relations and is daniel, was that that's a good thing. that's a very good thing, but it's not enough. go ahead, steve. um yeah, no, i was uh welcomed um access comments, reboot with go to some to critical observations. i remember i can suppress this from this production and they're going to see them as an engine morning. well, we're going to multiple, multiple alone, essential in the budget code. well, the refer read, read power. so the 3 of us ones, each of them are nice talking, so it's a welcoming thing. that's ok. i think in terms of the young provide, and that's what i think this to set something to send the past t

uh, there is no war declared in ukraine. uh there is, uh, the diplomatic relations have not been officially broken just uh, there are no embassies at the 2 countries. and of course, uh, relations between russia and europe that are in a, in a proxy washing creation or the united states for that matter. so continued uh, throughout the 3 years of the war. yeah, it's a little bit strange for the working class as a russian, though, is it the beginning russians and these are europe in weapons. so when the new jobs are germany says he wants to send the new tours. miss a. he means aiming to murder decalle. russians, that's the old idea are in love, these russian parts of western european pods are bad to actually target inside russia rather than the battle as well. that is, that is true in the, in my view of strikes deeper inside russia, by your european or with, with, with europe, initials. and of we know that such strikes cannot proceed without the support of the nations that are provided those items. so they are essentially the sa

so as far agreements continued to attack ukraine, charles stuff alger 0, keith. so your pen, liza is, has been quick to defend president. so lensky, french, president monro my call, says global support for keep must continue i think we all know the situation. they're using a dresser, which is russia, and the people attacked, which is ukraine. i think we are, we're right to have helped ukraine and sanctioned russia 3 years ago and to continue to do so. and when i say we, i mean, think united states in her opinion, canadians, japanese, and authors, we must think old folks who helped ever speak with those who has been fighting since the beginning because they fight for their dignity, their independence to their children. and the security of either of these simple things, we must to call off on this moment. we seem to hold. dominic pain has more now on the european reaction from biling. we've also been hearing from people in buying from people as a say around the constant stopping in the land, hearing from the current, sean. so the that's the outgoing john. so the or
