volodymyr zelenskyy has said listen, there is not going to be any peace unless ukraine is involved inions. but russia has said somewhat condescendingly "yes of course we'll talk to ukraine." but it's made it clear that it considers the main pipeline is going to be moscow and washington. that has a lot of people in europe and certainly in ukraine worried and quite pessimistic. >> john: finally, liz j.d. vance, the vice president, gave a very brusque speech as it's been reported to that european audience. what was the reaction there? >> reporter: the europeans basically were told by mr. vance that they had failed to control immigration and now that people were upset about it being out of control, they were trying to muzzle the protests, muzzle the parties that were trying to bring it to the fore and in fact it was an erosion of free speech. the europeans were furious about that, of course. the german defense minister said it was absolutely unacceptable. >> john: liz palmer for us in munich, germany. thank you so much, liz. first there were the fires and now southern california is drying

but one thing is clear volodymyr zelenskyy is no longer hailed as a hero here in washington, certainly in this administration. and jake, that changes everything. >> all right. cnn's jeff zeleny at the white house for us. thanks so much. cnn's chief international anchor, christiane amanpour is in munich, and she spent the day speaking with world leaders. christiane, good to see you. what are world leaders telling you about how they viewed vice president vance's speech? >> well, honestly. >> it was. >> a. >> stunned silence to a lot of it. >> quite a lot of shock. >> in the room. >> there were a lot of senior delegates there. afterwards, the german. defense minister basically. >> said his words were, quote, unacceptable. >> a spanish delegate said it was indecent. but on the other hand, they did like the fact that he did say nato was here to stay, that the united states viewed it as a very strong, you know, transatlantic alliance. and they took that good part of his speech, so to speak. but it was meant to be, they thought, going to be about mostly ukraine and how to implement the, the,

ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says he is open to talks. peace talks with vladimir putin. nbc's matt bradley following that story for us. this comes just days before zelenskyy is expected to meet with vice president j.d. vance. they're going to be at the munich security conference. what more can you tell us? >> yeah, chris, it's not just j.d. vance. secretary of state marco rubio also expected to meet zelenskyy at this annual munich security conference this weekend. there's also expected to be an appearance from the president's new special envoy to ukraine, keith kellogg, who the president said today is also expected to visit kyiv, the ukrainian capital, as early as february 20th. so amidst all of this splashy debut for the new administration in europe, it's really looking like ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is really feeling the pressure from all sides. now, as we mentioned, he's about to meet with the vice president, a man who in the past has suggested cutting off aid to ukraine completely. that's an even harder line on supporting ukraine than president trump has

it was only then that he spoke to volodymyr zelenskyy in ukraine. and this is something that marks a dramatic shift in u.s. policy, certainly during the biden administration since the invasion of ukraine. there is no question that this is something that was front and center in the trump campaign. he wanted to restore relations, and vladimir putin absolutely wants to be sort of removed from his isolation on the world stage. and donald trump, he believes, can help him do that. so. taken together, interesting in the oval office this afternoon, as trump was swearing in, tulsi gabbard as the director of national intelligence, he was asked specifically about vladimir zelenskyy. and he said as long as he's there but his poll numbers aren't very good. so talking about zelenskyy in a weaker state certainly underscores how this is viewed going into this, but that the first meeting in a saudi arabia, the president said, would be without zelenskyy there at the table. he said perhaps he would join other meetings. but the question here is, is zelenskyy completely

but they left out the leaders of ukraine, president volodymyr zelenskyy. sounds more than a little annoyed as he warns no decision should be done behind his back from kyiv to moscow to washington, d.c., we're live in all the key places where these decisions are going down. plus who's really running doge the department of government efficiency. see what the trump administration wrote in court filings about elon musk. that seems to be completely at odds with what trump and others have tried to portray. and upside down after that unbelievable crash landing in toronto, proving why the fasten seat belt sign is so important. more passengers are describing the terrifying moments as authorities investigate how in the world something like this could happen. welcome to the lead. i'm jake tapper. we start with our world lead, a four hour meeting in saudi arabia about ukraine's future without ukraine or its european allies. at the table, secretary of state marco rubio says he and his russian counterparts will work to end the conflict in ukraine in a way that's, quote,

and then another call with ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy. did president trump just set up what could be the end of the war and what would be the terms? plus, the price of eggs. rising at a rate not seen in nearly. >> a decade. >> and that is not the only common item seeing a price hike. why is there any blame on president trump, who said he'd reverse inflation on day one? and the eerie new. audio released from the moments before the disaster on the titan submersible. that's the underwater explosion that killed five passengers. what does this reveal about what went so terribly wrong? welcome to the lead. i'm jake tapper. president donald trump said earlier today that negotiations to end russia's war on ukraine are set to begin on friday in munich. that is the major news today. out of a nearly 90 minute phone call between trump and russian president vladimir putin. trump posted details about his call with putin, who, by the way, started this unprovoked war nearly three years ago. trump also posting he was then going to call ukrainian president

that comes as jd vance is due to meet with volodymyr zelenskyy today to talk about the ukraine russia >>> hundreds of federal workers are out of a job and thousands more are bracing for sweeping layoffs, all orchestrated by the department of government efficiency headed by elon musk. cbs news learned that recent hires still on probationary status have received termination notices including 1000 workers at the department of veterans affairs, elon musk has called for the elimination of entire federal agencies to cut government costs. >>> a federal judge in washington, d.c. ordered the trump administration to temporary restore funding for conflicts in place before president trump took office, they filed a lawsuit against the president's 90 day freeze on aid. >>> and a supersized party in philadelphia today, the eagles going to celebrate their super bowl win with a big parade in philadelphia, the threat of severe weather not deterring the crowds expected to line the parade route, it is going to be ending on the famous rocky steps at the city's museum of art, of course the eagles beat the

should this be read as an indication that donald trump is not exactly thrilled with volodymyr zelenskyys to mind for me, john, weather here in the united states or whether overseas, one of the things we hear a lot of this we have got to preserve democracy but i find it remarkable how often the solution to preserving democracy is dispose of democracy in the short term to preserve it in the long term. there is hypocrisy in that argument whether it be around free speech. be so j.d. vance the conference taking the europeans to task over backsliding over speech and go over the times we have to preserve democracy but the means by doing it to expose democracy. i think this will be a key component of negotiations going forward. >> john: volodymyr zelenskyy is not happening what is going on and postpone saudi arabia trip and he will not go until march 10th. here is what he said on "meet the press" sunday. >> i will never accept a decision between the united states and russia involving ukraine. never. out there is no later in the world that can really make a deal without -- >> john: i would think

trump's phone call this week with putin, before even talking to america's besieged ally, volodymyr zelenskyyset off a swift backlash. zelenskyy rejects any us-russia deal without kyiv's involvement. nato allies slammed any quick fix, saying that would be, quote, a dirty deal. and they even warned that trump has already negotiated a victory for putin. indeed, u.s. defense secretary pete hegseth had earlier echoed putin's talking points during his first nato meeting. >> we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre-war 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. the united states does not believe that nato membership for ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement. >> he did say that any settlement would have to come with firm security guarantees for ukraine, but nato troops would have to patrol the lines without american peacekeepers. so does president zelenskyy feel the rug being pulled out from under him, or as he tells his people, quote, we believe that america's strength is sufficient to pressure russia and putin into peace. i asked him here at the munich securi

earlier, president volodymyr zelenskyy said he is willing to negotiate with putin as long as the u.s. and europe supply security guarantees. what does all this signal to you? >> you know, i think what zelenskyy is talking about, and it's probably the most serious of all, is that let's take the situation. if there is a ceasefire eventually and things calm down, what about the future? you know, what will this be? an enduring ceasefire? or could it be, you know, could it kind of stop and then flare up again? and then there are more problems in europe as a whole. so i think what he's saying is, yes, we're prepared, but we really do need some type of guarantee of our security. now, he knows that with the united states and germany and others, some others saying no nato at this point, then he has to figure out how do you get some type of security. and it looks as if these bilateral agreements, a series of bilateral agreements with various countries, might be the type of deal that he could go for. but that's what he's worried about. you know, something that goes into the future and that reall
