and it was almost a st. jude just the distance between the 34 and united russia. so no relation with his family. and so i decided, you know, to, to try something on my side. i met as many people as possible to push on the needs case. and i find the b a i in many ways that assess subsidies under warranty reg, man authorities or full deals. and we decided to set something to see if we could push in for direction to, to uh our clients. really ease them to be part of the next while and uh its or to, to, to be the case. so we are very, very happy off of corporation. and we are a very resourceful and to the representatives that us so so it is a fall to make the swear. i've been on the work that you put in the travel they then meeting with officials. can you give us a, a time from how long does that take, how difficult was the, the negotiation process for you? well, 1st, i mean, as you know, i tried to fix it, gets attention officer russian authorities. i wrote it to the prosecute the office of law school and rhodes, who's a bunch of out of these and all of them respondi

but also, i think he wants to make a broader view. russia and on the united states and russia will always be adversaries, you politically. they're much closer now logically and finding out the repeating unit and sees both. i mean, i'm talking about this, obviously, your opinion union on the line in the 1st place and amount of them a crown. they see both prompt and painted as there are other means. and this is a very interesting situation. ukraine is not even the subject of these negotiations . it is only an object over which the united states and russia we'll talk about. okay, so let's talk about that a bit more because um target line problem also touched on the comments that the reform policy chief made saying that no you plan deal can be reached without your what role do you think brussels will play and resolving this conflict of brussels so far played a very negative role. i mean 1st of all it is responsible for. busy raising change, the force will region change in kia is responsible for creating and fueling the simple more in ukraine, and for a fueling it constantly by calling for mor

so the united states tried to counter china. china and russia would perceive the united states as sort of, you know, impeding their desire to also play an equal great power all in regional and global affairs. and so that thinking also influenced all of the three governments decision about humanitarian aid. and so they tried to use humanitarian aid to come rich with each other. and so this contest over ideas and approaches to humanitarian aid has also diluted humanitarian imperatives. and so when geopolitics are infused into decisions about humanitarian aid, the outcome that the time honored norm of alleviating human suffering loses its legitimacy and the regional purpose. so we kind of found that, again, that context became counter productive, you know, to the kind of original intent of helping people in need. so i'll stop here. i think i. have 30 minutes. thank you so much, maria. i think it was really super highlighting, especially the way you were showing the this kind of broader ideological thinking context in a way of kind of beyond the cov

the united states saying they want to see americans being able to invest in russia and russian companies able to act in the united states. again, this is something that a year ago, 2 years ago, wasn't even discussed. why does it leave? could it could have find itself totally sideline here when it comes to discussing real issues from the economy to politics, to diplomacy and other things. well, so far the answer to that is, yes. i remember the president trump said something very interesting when he 1st had his conversation phone call with present improvement. he came back and he said after they had had their discussion, he says our team will inform presidents to lindsey of our conversation, informing is very different than having a discussion with him as well. so i think he of has been sidelined at this point. one of the things that, that the trump administration and the russian government seemed to be an agreement upon, is the fact that there need to be elections held in ukraine so that the people of ukraine can select their leaders. as we all know, it's been over a year since i bought t

humanitarian-ism is by far less developed as an idea in russia context and in the context of the united states. in china. there are lots of limitations in terms of how those development -- it was some debate about how to structure institutions inside russia to administer aid. again there are lots of deficiencies and limitations on how and i think this is something to do with the fact it was much easier for putin to pick up a phone call, a phone and phone counterpart, from a post covid republic. a lot of those things were done at the level of the leader, whoever he was connected to to the mechanism of the eurasian economic unity. lots of times a phone call will take place. do you need aid? yes. okay. they will take advantage of the planes available to the military or the emergency situation and then from there on the aid will be delivered. definitely those political ties, the proximity and limitations did play a role. let me give one more example take such a broad central asia. in central asia interestingly the older generation code generation that grew up a get formative years in the so

united states has done. just a perception of russia and china being somewhere back in the country at the time of the united states departure has a very, very significant impact in terms of this country is supporting china's russia foreign policy and this country is allowing china to have access or place investments into the strategic areas that they would not have otherwise allowed them to place their investments into. so, again, it is the timing. when the countries find themselves in the dire situation when this vacuum is filled, even resources coming considerably less, what they would have gotten from the united states. it is how it is perceived and how it is framed by china, by russia is what it will have an impact on the foreign policies. so, that is first and again i do think that china will benefit from the united states leaving some of the international agencies because it will be able to shape their agendas in ways that are consistent with its approach to development. and with regard to your first question, you are right. you are correct. even the amount of money that the united states puts into humanitar

but really, this is really between the united states and russia now trying to develop a, a, a level of a foundation for, for establishing a lasting peace. and also it hasn't really been stated us. that's when it's really united states saying this, we're in a different world now. and the united states has its own issues. and we're no longer the lantus is that we have been and we are going to be looking at more for the united states force for change rather than fighting. europe's centuries old wars all the time and having to come to the assistance as we have done it twice already and. and if you're points to it and, and, and then you cry and want to continue on with conflicts and looked upon russia as the enemy. that's our problem there. frankly, the, you have right now this minute, the europeans basically looking at russia as a continued enemy. and that's not a basis for time for a long term effort is toward us trying to settle disputes. we don't see any evidence of, of some of any similarity between what mr. putting did back in the 2022. and what hitler did back in 39, even though the

studio: president trump| meeting with teacher marc fogel has just returned the states tram russia. = l. unitedere allergies. properly for her allergy. to qualify as an apprentice. politicians think this could help 10,000 more people a year to complete the course. will perform at the brit awards. the first international artist to win this. it's been seven years, but 13—year—old daisy is home. this week, the rspca stumbled across her 200 miles away her owner said they never gave up hope. coming up on the programme: around the world, the european champions league play—off twice against real madrid but with the match tied at 2—2, jude bellingham managed to get the ball into the back then, elsewhere, a late goal from samuel mbangula has given for a stalemate. mbangula popped up to score the winner from just a couple borussia dortmund, they beat sporting 3—0 in the first leg

so you know that i sent the last question from the united russia. supposed to go with them instead of getting cities going. thank you. mr. lever office. last year is pumps pace because you know, they're just a little bit of these. lennox for public policy runs across and you cannot be completed the rest of the cation which sweeps the on site, and that's on the cooperation. but this is the test 10 countries. but i've been with this string of a process in yeah. and for us progress to it, i'm going to be in sales reps as occasion around certification on the legal status . so the caspian save us more than they will sell the prospects. and notice this thing i've done of, of up to the video and can we expect, suppose the resolution of this issue in the near future with the escape of considering the results within the kind of what your global level looks password within the work group. thank you, i betsy, but shouldn't know the level of the citizen. i was thank you for the question. that's really an important one kind of answer especially considering and that's what i say. it's a convention

not just ukraine and russia, but the you, you live with the united states. yeah. great. it, yeah, in my view concessions as you said, are prerequisites for any meaningful reconcile mation. no doubt about that. even though also in personal relationships, so that's a fact of life. and as the agent, the british proverb says bitter a lean piece, vantage that victory bits are a lead piece that i thought victory about. let's hope that we will also have that piece as possible. however, i'm not sure if these discussions resulted in clear cut agreements regarding the ukraine for example, because so many people in the media have been speaking about to create as if it was the one and only theme off of the art meeting. but i don't think it was the case at the end of the day ukraine was not present. so definitely you did. you did not have a holistic conversation with regards to how things should move forward. but this meeting was primarily, as i said about us, russian relations as a whole rather than focusing solely on, on your grade. nevertheless, this rep for tomorrow will likely p

landmarked folks higher level delegations from russia and the united states have sat down at the same table for the 1st time in more than 3 years. but moscow's top diplomat describe the math on for our session as a positive step forward. a go to deals at the beginning of our conversation to see the mark of rubio, particularly emphasize the fundamental importance of each country being guided by its national interest in international relations. and then we fully agreed with this was that these national interest of course, will not always coincide still, but when they do not coincide with me, it is very important to regulate these discrepancies. so that's not to let them slide look at the especially not to provoke a military who we do or any other kind of confrontation with script you from the so much. so the conversation was very useful on thought. so we not only listened but also heard each other who, you know, and i have reason to believe that the american side has begun to better understand our position of the deal. it's because of very long day here in saudi arabia. the talks lasted

so reestablishing relations between the united states and russia which had been on the box an awfullystates and russia agree on one point, and that is there needs to be elections in ukraine. >> well, that is right. you have heard a lot of conversations about this. this is something the russians are particularly focused on. they ukrainians did not have elections last year and i believe it was may when those would normally happen and they didn't happen. justified by the war and zelenskyy saying they needed to have stability in the country and that kind of thing. that is one of many things that will be on the table and really what we see right now, john, the beginnings the lay down of dial-up communicating these things important for each side of. we saw the bilateral conversation with the russians march 10th and bilateral conversation with the ukrainians. then we can start bringing the two sides together to see where things can go. one thing everybody agrees on whether putin or zelenskyy or everybody in between, donald trump is the key variants and the only one position to bring the two

that took place today just a day after he took part in these historic negotiations between russia and the united states. and he said that the world was paying close attention to what was happening there, where the main goal of russia was to basically take a step in the right direction in terms of eliminating the reasons for why new prank conflict even started in the 1st place. right, stopping the further expansion of nato, and he's 5 stopping the abuse of russian citizens in ukraine, essentially, doing away with these threats to russia's national security that moscow as if it had to endure for years. and all that any specific comments made about us. the hayes, you knew, well, yeah, i mean these, he, he brought attention to the fact that even the us administration under trump now finally is starting to understand russia's position in terms of the fact that trump has admitted. and he's been the 1st western politician to do so it was set to by the administration is actually mainly responsible for the ukraine conflict altogether. or the book as yesterday's talk showed, there is a movement towards no

if the data will be in such a large manner, which now demonstrates united states to russia. i think, yes. so we're not very happy with it, to be honest, but this is like the interesting question, the other days of washington to allow support for kids seem to be of trouble and food and told you cravings hopes for nato membership of gosh, while the us says it's not realistic for ukraine to consider taking back russian territory. returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic object chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and caused more suffering. surprised, europe and leaders remain in a state of panic. this scrambling to be included in the peaceful on ukraine, as a representative from the top administration says that europe and union will not be sitting at the table. can you can your show this audience that ukrainians will be at the table and your p and will be at the table? the answer that last question, just you frame the answer is now on the 2nd round, a voting is and alice and the republic, all of the kazi, often none of the 5 cognitive securi

course, we also find a very, very strong relationship between, you know, aid for both in the united nations or russia, sort of rewarded countries that either abstained or voted against united nations general assembly resolutions condemning russia's aggressive foreign policy. so there was that kind of relationship. of course, supported the that the like minded neighboring countries, members of the collective security organization or the eurasian economic union. so, yeah, so we do find that when it comes to covid 19 assistance, many of the elements of that geopolitical logic played out as well. and if your words about the united states so the united states, i will use it in past term, had been the top humanitarian dollar in terms of just the dollar value of of of assistance. and it had also been the major contributor to covid 19. assistance and vaccines. this assistance, again, in terms of just dollar amount. this is not to say that the united states have traditionally li been driven by humanitarian concerns alone, not necessarily during the cold war era, for example, but the soviet union and the unite

states and in a lot of different ways, because with the right leadership in the united states, i think the partnership between russia and the united states could be very, very power. how do you expect us relations with ukraine uh to develop now joe, because you've got, for instance, european leaders saying yes, we'll back you to the, to the end except for except for us. but when the rough tax of paying money to keep what the us has been giving at to ukraine when not hits home, not just to, to those the theaters, but maybe it becomes public, the tax payers as well. is that going to fly in any way? you know, i don't, i don't think it will. i don't think i don't think anyone in the world has an appetite for this demonic leadership that we've had, not just the united states, but around the world. you know, russia has been very patient and, and i, i study kind of the difference between russia and some of the other countries that are out there. and the propaganda wars that are, that are waged against this people. and i've had conversations with people in russia that are more pragmatic and they understand kind of the lands

this meeting that is taking place right now was actually called by russia before any of these latest overtures, by the united states, towards ending this conflict. it was called by russia to mark the 10th anniversary of the security council, recognizing the minsk agreement, the agreements that were supposed to end the conflict in ukraine after russia, and dated in 2014. and it is the russians allegation that the west and ukraine, not abiding by that agreement, was the justification for them for invading ukraine in 2022. and the united nations has maintained that that is a legal legal action by russia. and they continue to make that claim. what will be watching for in this meeting is how other countries respond. we've heard the europeans, how they've responded that they're likely to continue to make the case that they need to be involved in what's happening in ukraine. and that the security of europe is at stake here, but it'll be interesting to hear from china and other members of the council as the united states steps away from working with multi lateral organizations where they will fall and where their su

have reason to believe that the american side has begun to better understand our position. russia and the united states hold the 1st high level meeting in years to go everything from improving ties to the war in new pre diplomacy, ultimately is based on our actions based on commitments that are kept by the us delegation phases. it to us as a huge need for and you say that the permanent piece is the only acceptable and to the free company at all times. loss is out actually is purposely as i say, another warning ukraine could so easily have been avoid this could have been settled very easily, just a half a half baked negotiator to settle this years ago. and while key of itself was another false lot of his, the last key was on his own diplomatic to, at this time, touching down in turkey and attempting to drum up support the united states as discussing with russia the ultimatum that food and set at the beginning of the full scale war, i wonder if we didn't accept such ultimatums at the most difficult moments. why are we likely to do with now? the novices are due to national, reaching you from the ru

as paul from a if the dialogue will be in such a large mental which don't demonstrate the united states to russia. i think yes. so we're not very happy with it. to be honest, but this is, this is live the interesting question. having there in 10 to 10 this week to trump, and for to and judging from statements coming out with the white house ukraine, bips, the nato membership is up, as is the hope of taking back any last the couch returning to you. cruise pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic object chasing this. illusionary goal will only prolong the war and caused more suffering. what all this have said, you're a pen needles into a panic mode, desperately finding a way to be included in the case full. as a member of from team says you would have a seat of the negotiating table. can you can your show this audience the ukrainians will be at the table and your p and will be at the table? the answer that last question just you framed the answer is no. ad fighting continued in the payoff fee as the m 233, and reportedly enters one of the config. lots of cities because parts, despite the audio claims tha

if the data to the inside supplies mental wished out demonstrates united states to russia. i think yes. so we are not very happy with it. to be honest, this is, this is like the interesting question. having their own type of help this week. trump and peer tech, and judging from statements coming out of the white house, ukraine's bid for a nate to membership is over as a type of takes and back in the last part. returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. hold on one of this house that in europe in needs us and to make mode, desperately finding a way to be included in the piece, folks for that size, the men both the trumpeting says he won't have a seat to negotiate. can you, can you a show this audience that ukrainians will be at the table and your p and will be at the table? the answer that last question, just you framed it? the answer is no. ad fighting continues in the policy of the i'm 23 minutes inquiry proposed to me and to is one of the country largest cities to

it doesn't mean much in the the united states is discussing with russia. the ultimatum that's hooton's set at the beginning of the full scale war. again, about ukraine without ukraine levels. i wonder if we didn't accept such ultimatums at the most difficult moment. why are we likely to do it now below, at this given point, at the very least, it appears russia is in a position where it is spoken of willing that russia will be brought back into the fold. and that it will take a different approach that it will work with its regional partners that will work with saudi arabia and target to ensure that all the parties that are currently interested in which is the supplement piece to make it happen. but of course, there's a great deal of a sudden from savanski, especially taken to consideration that he did not know that the us delegation would be meeting with it's russian counterparts and expects us to make its way to to have to the doorsteps of the landscape. joyce that the many at newspaper kentucky, hockey or child believes that zalesky wouldn't be able to ma

states and in a lot of different ways because with the right leadership in the united states, i think the partnership between russia and the united states could be very, very powerful. what sort of this into the mix as well? us secretary of state, marco rubia, he's bought his presidents exasperation with love them years lensky. i think that you prince the fact the leader lied. following talks between washington on cuba, on a mineral c. i think president trump is very upset at present zelinski and i and some case, and rightfully so. look, number one, joe biden had frustrations as the landscape. people shouldn't forget that the newspaper articles out there about how he cursed adam and a phone call because the lensky, instead of saying thank you for all your help, is immediately out there messaging what we're not doing or what he's not getting. i think the 2nd thing is, frankly, i was personally very upset because we had a conversation with president zalinski, the vice president and i, the 23 of us. and we discussed this issue about the mineral rights, so we explained to them. but we want to be enjoying better with yo

and it is a, is, this can be, are for me that to the united states of america and russia must, and the, the, these displeasure the, and a war and domino the notes from. and the like, you mean letting me know the chip with you in the historical, if he was about to is that as the is just the fact that the, just the media and i to us the, the, them, i, i trust the trump and the, and 14 and i am sort of that to the, to be able to, to make it would be send the, it is very important for, for us, for the, on the areas because they're hungry and, you know, special a situation because the ukraine is our neighbor and that is a very strong and gillian community in the last cup of tea. i am the in ukraine and the in the 19 the 9 to one. there was a referendum in ukraine and the stuff that i'm doing div austin only florida at last got battiata and a hung jury. yes. and now it's a, it's time to realize the so referendum and, and that we must keep the rights to the, to the on gillian minority in the past. got that the, i'm in ukraine. the image is continuing on. not mixing it installed, you rape. yea

but i think the most important thing that happened today here in saudi arabia is that russia and the united states were able to make a very important 1st step towards normalizing their relations. they've agreed to create mechanisms to normalize the work of their diplomatic commissions regarding the conflict in ukraine. they agreed to put together high level teams on each side, which will work together to look for a diplomatic, sustainable solution which would be suitable to all sides. and they're also, i think it's a very important point that they're even now starting to look beyond the conflict in ukraine because they're saying that they want to lay the foundation for future dream projects in investment and economy. in all these projects, which me emerge after the constitution, ukraine is done judging by what preferred today from representatives of both sides . it was a serious and optimistic conversation which do you talk for 4 and a half hours of if someone yes, why not? and there was a very serious conversation on all the issues we wanted to touch upon to them. is this positive? be cons

and in truth, it's much closer to russia than it is to the united states. so it shows a certain concession on the us as part to do that. um, it gives me a lot of hope. it gives me a lot of hope. the you said, i and, and people like me have been calling for peace with russia for a long time. this is long overdue. the scott and the american delegation and then add on those piece talks just didn't name some names. it's to be led by national security advisor. mike waltz, a special on void to the middle east, steve with cough, but there's no special representative to ukraine and russia that, that actual position created at keith kellogg. what do you make of that? well, i'm not sure what to make of that. um, this is a new cast of characters. what i do take from what trump has been, say, and his, you know, the clip you played, where he really bought that the idea, the ukraine is an equal partner. and all this is that the us is ready to deal with russia. if i'm, i'd say, man to man without you involved. and the truth is that's how it has to be. ukraine is nothing b

in the possible was aware of what i see of the 2 allowed the united states, the sewer, the implements instead of c, but to operate and russia and they're loading, you know, gallons are paused similarly in a quote in the united states, so you as, as you heard about so the we saw him are administrators and made it difficult for the rest on diplomatic commissions. so operate that what response was, can it possibly and especially with the opposite cuz late on the way of our paper to match the ticket early, they find that instead of transfers, our response issue was played. and in that, in future, we are going to convene molar made things out of we would look into all the issues that mentions that will allow for i and the guy with all these ops because including the it is i'm some of the blow metric emissions both in the united states and russia, where they cheapest the assistance, we will do our best in order to eliminate all these obviously because we would have to work a regularly and timely put them and the, all these problems that's within the normal relations between our respective countries. apart from that, we agreed tha

wants to bring it to an end is through normalization of relations with russia, that the as normalization of relations between the united states and russia. so he's offering a variety of incentives for russia to bring this war to an end. you know, as you saying, if you can bring this to go to an end. now in other words the see sign um is this now whatever. um then we can offer you some sanctions really. we can offer you normalization of relations. we can offer you a relief on moving issues about embassies and, and, uh, comforts you'll, its, and diplomatic compounds. all those things which are really very, very sole points with moscow. but, uh, and maybe even down the road and invitation to join the g 7. but the price that ross, you would have to pay there is an immediate cessation of hostilities and that may be too high a price for rest of the pay or right. uh, you're surprised that the speed all of this is happening and taking place right now . no surprise, i think this was something that trump intended to do. i think trump is determined to bring it to an end, but how that comes about is very, very difficult because of

deal could be a precursor to improvements in the currently low level of trust between the united states and russia. according to trump. the says that this could be an early step to building that sort of report between the united states and russia. that's going to be needed to cut a full piece deal in the ukraine conflict. very fair, very, very fair, very reasonable, not like deals you've seen over the years. they were very fair and i think that's gonna lead and order somebody else is being released tomorrow that you will know. but we wanted to get this done very important and see, wanted to actually fly over and get mark and get them on properly because that could be a pretty tough trip. goodwill. in terms of new i think this could be the very important element. it could be a big part of it actually because it could be a big, important part of getting the water over with you grand. and we appreciate present input and see what he, what he did. he was able to pull it off for you. right. he was able to pull it up. we think andrew here. so is good. i will tell you a little bit more about it tomorrow,

cuz the, the united states is discussing with russia the ultimatum that food, instead at the beginning of the full scale war. i wonder if we didn't accept such ultimatums at the most difficult moment. why are we likely to do it now? both are left out in the cold was think a huge. so here europe in naples heather and told what the emphasis was on around hang up on supplies and see things up to fight for some say the fossil is already you know, keep, keep the leaders of the great countries of europe missed the moment when they could have taken the initiative on the russian war in ukraine. a you, institutions are not capable of an initiative. the 7 can hear it and most good this to say for myself a whole team i our h q. welcome to the program. situating us getting us started off that full and health hours tools between the us and russian dedications have wrapped up in re out speaking all fluids, most goes top. dip cannot express positivity out that day's walk, sucking law prof. i did that. well, both countries will always be guided by the national interest they can do so while maintaining

and now the india is a partner of both russia and the united states. what effects could the warming of ties between moscow in washington have a new daddy as well. um, india has always been at the forefront talking about bringing all the big problems together as a bridge between the east and the west. so i'm not at all surprised at the new drunk by the ministration is walking down that spot. because we got to understand that none of the 4 big part was out in a position to run a uni butler would with the, with the, you know, with a single stick. so i believe that cooperation is a re forward and we are very keen on president for the ends visit that this year in india. and then we are going to see president trump visiting india as well in the same. yeah. so i think as a bridge between the east and the west, uh, india has a big boy to play in bringing all the big players together so as to see to it. that all the smaller nations also have some stake, some voice people that might do that for bodies. i think president trump is also keen on making adjustments.

through this, just to remind an assessment, building pseudo with mentioned both cooperation but united russia to initiated as international movements and other side sections as well. but we're going to use our next step and what city is put on there that will give him a few different balances. samsung expectations to reflect councils of russian conventions, and $120.00 countries across the world. the planning a whole series of events as good as neat things to, to do seen the most cleaning we say, which has to look. i'm an expert, me, things that let's just put on with you. for just thoughts of you at the same, then the 120 countries where we have sort of thing is that sounds, those of russian demetrius just never know. felt like you're planning to organize the room even sign it. you saw the apartment to handle memory called the memory source pool of the embassies across your organization. so preparing, what was the use of that? when you pull a visual july, as usual, a shoot test, if you this ship a search to because this doesn't, you might have to put a whole emphasis and console it's or get

so the united states has invested in stabilizing those front lines. after the aggression of russia, there is no betrayal there. there is a recognition that the whole world in the united states has invested in interested in peace, a negotiated piece. so really looks like what we're witnessing here is a serious paradigm shift, a paradigm shift towards peace and a paradigm shift. but european union and ukraine might not be too happy about well described as a direct and warm conversation between the russian and american leaders. the call caught european officials completely off guard. washington allies are now repeatedly rushing to ensure that talks include them and k of in any peace negotiations. i think that you support will continue until peace is reached. and while the trump team has made it clear that ukraine's bed fernando is unrealistic, germany persist in pushing kias membership. the dollar he isn't does is obviously it's unfortunate. and i say this truthfully, the trumpet ministration had already made public admissions to prove them before negotiations have even begun. from my

approved and, and also just to re establish a sort of comprehensive relations between the united states and russia that have for so long suffered as a result of the foreign policy of the united states. yeah, yeah. yeah. what about, what about micro rubio then you didn't talk to us secretary of state design, decide he has now touch down in the saudi arabia. he's not going to be alone. i guess he's going to have at least a few people in his delegation. that's right. well, earlier on in the day we heard from trump special envoy to the middle east, steve woodcock, who said that he's going to be going to saudi arabia with his colleagues. and as you said, we saw all ready secretary of state, marco rubio, touch down in saudi arabia, and there's also reports that national security advisor mike waltz is going to be there as well. all with the goal of building trust with moscow and seeing if they can make progress on a potential piece agreement in the brain conflict. what about, what about how much are you coming from which coffee as well these days? i also think trump's had some good comments regarding the

those talks are concerned, that are set to take place in saudi arabia this coming week between russia and the united states, to try and hammer out an agreement to end the war in ukraine. but the russians seem to believe that in general relations between russia and the united states could go into a new era and get a completely new dynamic. the spokesman for the kremlin, dmitry peskov, on sunday said that he believes in the future there is going to be dialog between the united states and russia rather than confrontation under the trump administration, and that also the two administrations will be speaking about peace, as he put it in the future. dmitry peskov also said that he believes that president trump's views on russia should be endorsed by every sound minded person. as he put it so clearly, the russians certainly putting a lot of stake into president trump and what he's done so far in trying to get u.s. russian relations back on track. now, the russians, though, have made no secret of the fact that they believe that negotiations to end the war in ukraine certainly won't be easy. they have said t

so the united states has invested in stabilizing those front lines. after the aggression of russia, there is no betrayal there. there is a recognition that the whole world and the united states is invested in interested in peace, a negotiated piece. so clearly what we're witnessing here is a huge paradigm shift. it's a paradigm shift towards piece and it's a paradigm shift that you have is obviously not very happy about to will describe to us a quote direct on warm conversation. yesterday's cold caught european officials completely off guard u cranes. e u allies have issued a joint declaration demanding a seat, often negotiating table and future peace talks. i think not support for kids will continue until an agreement is reached, but not all leadership on the continent are on the same page of this declaration is a sad testament of bad brazilian leadership. while president trump and president putin negotiate on peace, e u officials issue worthless statements, you can't request a seat at the negotiating table. you have to earn it through strength, good leadership and smart diplomacy

if it's dedicated to peace, including the recent consensus reach between the united states and russia, which i'm not even saying a window for peace is opening on the will. but happy to listen to what minutes the loved office has had to say about that. but it does do she book with previous attempts by the west to ukraine eyes the agenda of g 20. we're torpedoed by the rest of the group. members, if you look at the final arguments, when all the g 20 members finally agreed to include a short text on geo political issues, you will not find anything of them that could be rejected by the russian side. the g 20 group as a whole. if we're talking about the structures that play a certain role in the international economic relations retains the role of a platform for dialogue between the old and new centers of power. and we spoke in favor of maintaining the economic profile of this association as it was supposed and agreed upon at the very beginning of its creation in 2008 without politicizing . the agenda, as our western colleagues have been trying to do in recent years, these attempts have al

some of the updates now quite an important meeting for the relationship between russia and the united states. you've just heard the, the 1st comments coming from president donald trump, following these talk, say, here in saudi arabia. the 1st high level official meeting between the 2 countries in many years. i think it's fair to say that russia in the united states were able to make the 1st firm step towards normalizing their relationship. they've managed to cover quite a lot of issues from bilateral ties to the conflict in ukraine. they said that they wants to move forward. they've agreed to start working on normalizing the work of their diplomatic missions, which according to rush us for a minute to so you'll have off was hampered for a long time by the previous us administration. however, i've also said that perhaps one of the most important things that the 2 sides managed to achieve here in saudi arabia is that russia in the united states finally began listening to one another. to go to deals at the beginning of our conversation to see the marco rubio particularly emphasized the f

talk different amounts from russia and the united states. so set to meet, to normalize relations and find the resolution to the ongoing ukraine conflict. the key of is 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. yeah, it's a dose of reality at the united nations, a lot of mazda lensky and 5th note discussions. first, that one can happen without kids, the tools will go on and he's apparently not even on the guest list. you're looking for a spot on the sidelines, e, you politicians, hold emotions, a tolten powers, but no kind of action is developed. and all that as hungry lambs them for trying to print long. so we're seeing a gathering a pro war, anti trump frustrated european leaders who wants to stop in agreement from happening on peace and ukraine. the whole look at the program here, winowski international. uh, there are many remaining of domestic the history books might make a note of today. tuesday, february, the 18 is big

i think it's fair to say that russia in the united states were able to make the 1st firm step towards normalizing their relationship. they've managed to cover quite a lot of issues from bi lateral ties to the conflict in ukraine. they said that they wants to move forward. they've agreed to start working on normalizing the work of their diplomatic missions, which according to rush of support, minutes to serve your lab. ralph was hampered for a long time by the previous us administration. however, i've also said that perhaps one of the most important things that the 2 sides managed to achieve here in saudi arabia is that russia and the united states finally began listening to one another. a good deal at the beginning of our conversation. this is marco rubio particularly emphasized the fundamental importance of each country being guided by its national interest as the international relations of some. and then we fully agreed with this was the temple these national interests of course, will not always coincide little still. but when they do not coincide, i mean it is very important to reg

>> the problem is through this bilateral channel between the united states and russia, the united states to be giving away major concessions before ukraine is made a part of the negotiation. so we have heard from senior trump administration officials that ukraine will have to concede significant parts of its territory and ukraine will not have a place in nato, the united states has already indicated it will not play a role with boots on the ground in sustaining any piece in -- peace in ukraine or that a peacekeeping force would fall under a nato umbrella. these are major concessions being given away in this bilateral format, and that has real implications for ukraine. once ukraine gets to the negotiating table, we basically have taken their knees out from under them and put them in a far weaker position. if we were going into these discussions with russia, it should have been the case that the united states had had some coordinated position with kyiv and its european allies before going into that meeting. geoff: add so that, the u.s. approach and attitude suggests the administration alre

which demonstrates united states to russia. i think yes, so we're not very happy with it. to be honest, but this is like the interesting question, the other days of washington to allow support for kids seem to be of a truck and food and told you cravings hopes for nato membership. a dash.
