zelenskyy, i have three questions for you. number one, what kind of weapons deal did you secure here at the g-7 summit and who gave you what? and how confident are you that you'll get your f-16's? and number three, what kps need to be fulfilled before you decide to launch it? president zelenskyy: i'm not sure i'll answer the three questions. first of all, which weapons. reporter: the first is what kind of weapons have you secured at the g-7 summit from people you have met and who will give you what? president zelenskyy: the weapons of high quality, it will be provided by everyone. reporter: how confident that you'll get your f-16's is since no countries have offered them? president zelenskyy: we will be working on that i'm sure because we have the understanding with states we are working with. we have been waiting before we had this deblocked mechanisms of the training. f-16 fighter jets will have them. i cannot tell you how many. this is not a secret. i really don't know. but as far as the weapon, i wouldn't like to mention s

zelenskyy owns luxury real estate did we will look at the residences in question.he properties one by one. we have the images right here. the first residents allegedly in crimea, that reportedly cost zelenskyy $25 million. second there is this villa in italy at a cost of about 20 million euros and the third claim is this villa in england that the ukrainian president allegedly bought at a cost of 27 million pounds. all allegedly financed by the money zelenskyy received from his western allies according to the claims. anchor: so, do these villas, mansions, big houses, belong to volodymyr zelenskyy? catalina: let's begin with the first property, the alleged castle in crimea allegedly worth $25 million. we found this article in reuters from may 2019 where we learned that president zelenskyy's wife bought a penthouse in this apartment complex in crimea in 2013, before the annexation of crimea by russia in 2014. this property is no secret, it appears in zelinski's tax return from 2021. it also specifies the property is a 130 square meter apartment. according to ukrainian

zelenskyy was busy with one-on-one meetings.lier he sent out a tweet stating a ten-point proposal declaring we're all in it together. >>> meantime, a big problem back home is reaching president biden even in japan, the american debt limit crisis. president biden said he'll be speaking with house speaker mccarthy about it in the coming hours hoping to break an impasse on negotiations. a reporter asked about it a few hours ago, but he was keeping rather silent on it. take a listen. >> what's the main message? >> i'll get a chance to talk to him later in the day. >> what's your message to him? >> i'll give it to him before i give it to you. >> with both of the white house and republicans rejecting each other's latest proposals, the press secretary say late night the speaker's team put on the table an offer that was a bit setback and contained a set of extreme partisan demands. let's bessirous about what can pass in a bipartisan man jeer and on to nebraska, they've voted to ban abortion at ten weeks. it would also reject gender-affi

and therefore we are supporting the peace formula of president zelenskyy. i think this is an excellent starting point to work towards a just peace that ukraine really deserves. that means that russia has stopped -- has to stop its illegal aggression and that russia has to withdraw its troops so that the territorial integrity of ukraine is restored. >> now, at the g7 where you are, new sanctions have been unveiled. up to now, the sanctions imposed on russia have not had the effect of halting russia's aggression against ukraine. how big of a problem is it, you know, russia's sanctions evasion infrastructure, and should europe now completely ban exports to russia? >> first of all, the ten packages of sanctions have a huge impact on the russian economy. we see that. we have, for example, cut 120 billion euros of trade between the european union and russia. this is extraordinary. and most importantly, we have cut completely russia's access to technologies. and we see already a degradation of a military base, their military industrial base. we see the effects on

zelenskyy's european tour sees drones from richie sunak. he met with the ukraine president following talks with even -- emmanuel macron which took place on sunday. a record turnout in thailand's election. the people to business candidate instead of the military, a seachange that could put peter leading a coalition government. more on that to come. this is live from paris. ♪ thank you very much for being with us. turkiye is set for intense campaigning. as a presidential election goes into a second round, president erdogan has been written off by analyst who saw the opposition as the winner. it is support rallied, he came within a fraction of a percentage point of a first-round victory. erdogan has faced two decades of power and faced a military coup in 20 after those have criticized him of being, authoritarian. our reports in turkiye. >> despite turkiye's worst earthquake in living memory, and accusations of a slow and disorganized government response. president order one has done well in this election. he won the city near the epicenter wit

what has president zelenskyy said about it?> reporter: for the russians, this is essentially mission accomplished. the kremlin, the ministry of defense, wagner all saying this. this is not the first time that wagner has claimed to have captured the town. last month they said, or prigozhin said, in legal terms bakhmut has been taken. at least from the ukrainian military standpoint, yesterday the deputy defense minister said her forces were still controlling a very small toehold in the far western edge of the town. the operational update from the ukrainians this morning said battles for the city of bakhmut are continuing. no one disputes that wagner and the russians have managed to take the vast majority of the city itself. the question is whether the ukrainians control any of it at all. as you mentioned, president zelenskyy was asked about this during a bilateral sit-down with president biden that you played some of earlier. his answer wasn't all that definitive, but the russians, the russian media at least, is claiming that thi

in germany, zelenskyi met separately with chancellor scholz, and together they visited the military base in arkhen, where ukrainian servicemen are trained. zelenskiy was also presented with the honorary european a-a charlemagne prize. after the meeting with macron in paris, france and ukraine published a joint declaration calling for further pressure on russia in order to force it to stop its armed aggression against ukraine. france also promised to supply more weapons and train ukrainian military well, britain britain is one of the most important allies of ukraine in its fight against russian aggression, therefore, although the visit was unannounced and for many it came as a surprise, but it still surprised few people, especially in light of the statements made last week when london announced the transfer of long-range missiles to ukraine of storm shadow missiles , unlike in february, this time zelenskyi was not waiting on downing street. and in the country residence of the prime minister, the british government announced that and here i will quote because the wording, they are importan

but certainly a very historic moment in hiroshima as zelenskyy touched down.t was less than ten years ago that russia was a member of the g-8. they were expelled because of the invasion of crimea. now it's president zelenskyy who's meeting with the g-7, a significant moment here in japan. >> we await more events there in the day to come with zelenskyy now there in person in japan. i want to ask you about an agreement on china as well. and to be clear, we've covered it, eu allies at times dwerj from u.s. policy on china. how significant do you expect the statements about china to be? >> yeah, and we did actually just see the statement come out and it does have some of its unifying language trying to present a common front between the g-7 members about this idea of economic coercion, really trying to make the point that they will stand against efforts to coerce other countries, apply economic pressures on countries that don't share china's political views and this was a matter of intense wrangling between the countries. as you mentioned the g-7 members are not a

moments after landing, zelenskyy tweeted that peace will become closer today. cbs's elizabeth palmer in hiroshima leads us off. >> reporter: president zelenskyy flew to hiroshima on a plane provided by the french government. his star power will focus global attention on this summit, which was always intended to showcase g7 leaders' unwavering support for ukraine. even before he touched down, zelenskyy got one of the things he'd been asking for -- f-16 fighter jets. after refusing for months, president biden approved the training of ukrainian pilots to fly the u.s.-made war planes. >> now we have turned to discussions about improving this inarf long-tm commitment to ukraine's self-defense. >> reporter: various european allies are expected to supply the actual aircraft from stocks they already own. after some picturesque photo ops and closed door meetings, the g7 leaders spelled out their common ground in a communique that sets out ambitious targets. they include developing controls for artificial intelligence, mechanisms to deal with chinese bullying, and commit

as for the meeting between president volodymyr zelenskyi and the president of the united states , bidenwould like to note that once again we felt from those states continuing the course of support for ukraine, they are one of the leaders of the so-called aviation coalition. and precisely with this position, which is absolutely sure that in in the near future we will be able to receive the f16 fighter jets necessary for the armed forces, in addition, as a result of the meeting, it became known about a new package of military aid that the united states is once again providing to ukraine in its struggle for independence, mr. ruslana, with you as a diplomat, i would like to discuss the behavior in general how the president of the united states behaved, they saw this communication with volodymyr zelensky , now we will ask our editors to show these shots, and the president of the united states means a hand on the shoulder er volodymyr to zelenskiy klav and so on. they communicated in such a friendly manner, even so informally, but from the point of view of diplomacy , what can this indicate ?

how about me zelenskyi is a mystery, a mystery in the serious sense of the word, amen, when zelenskyi stayed, and this also applies to the issue of protection, probably the issue of universities, and told the president , in the sense of this word, there was mystery around him, i do not mean myself, because i actually publicly said that zelenskyi will remain, but no one else thought so when he stayed, it was a mystery and this mystery is connected with the greater mystery of ukrainians who fight and do not give up, so for americans it is a mystery and again this is a question of values ​​why why did he stay because one of our problems is that we like to think of freedom and democracy as something automatic that is guaranteed automatically we like to think that they are given by god the constitution of american exceptionalism capitalism by some larger process that brings them to us as consumer goods like there are many problems with this way of thinking, but one of them is that at the moment when you are faced with a crisis and it seems that freedom and democracy are not coming to you,

but the g7, not just an f-16 victory lap for zelenskyy.n the sidelines meeting with the indian prime minister, nor en narenda modi, who continues to fund putin's war by buying russia's oil. zelenskyy pushing modi for more support and apparently getting it. >> translator: i want to you a sure you that to provide a solution to your difficulties, india and i personally will definitely do everything we can. >> reporter: back in ukraine, less positive news. wagner mercenary yevgeny prigozhin claiming to have taken bakhmut. not surprising given the heavy fighting, a month of losses, the ukrainians have endured there. but they are yet to call it quits on the town. zelenskyy's diplomatic triumph trumping prigozhin's propaganda. >> do you feel better if you is have an f-16? >> sure. and every single soldier could say that, yes, it will change the game plan. >> how? >> radically. >> in what way? >> everyday. first of all, you have air superiority. >> reporter: reality here that every soldier knows. promises count for little until the weapons are in

volodymyr zelenskyi on the way to the european union ukraine has our full support as europeans europeans know what strength and democratic will there is in this people of yours i also think about the people in general like me that about solidarity in poland. i remember the discovery of harrowing in the berlin wall, which happened thanks to brave people from the former gdr, which opened europe to a united europe, and of course i remember the orange the revolution of 2004 and also the nights of the euromaidan of 2013-2014, all revolutions of dignity and the yellow-blue flag and also the flag of europe are beginning freedom and self-determination of ukraine all these popular movements show the strength of the will of their people in the future to decide their own destiny russian aggression aggressive war it not only brought the ukrainian nation under reporting, it is even one more, it will become no , the decision of ukrainians to become a european nation is not irreversible if vladimir putin putin thought that he could divert the ukrainian nation from and on the way to europe, then all its

there is president zelenskyy arriving. >> let's take a look at president zelenskyy arriving at the palaceent zelenskyy being greeted for the french leg of his european tour designed to shore up that support ahead of the counteroffensive that we understand will be beginning shortly, alex. >> president zelenskyy showing increasing confidence in more travels outside of his country. he left for the first time during this war in december to visit here in washington, here in the united states. as melissa just noted, this is not his first trip to paris. he was in paris back in february. and this visit that you're seeing right now is the third stop on this european tour that started in rome where he met with the prime minister, as well as pope francis before going on to germany where he met with the chancellor and the president and now going into the palace right there with emmanuel macron. i want to go back to sam kiley. ahead of this counteroffensive, no one is putting pressure on president zelenskyy to sit down with president putin, at least publicly. but to what extent do you think there is a

zelenskyi spoke a lot about putin when , of course, he was asked about the negotiations that he should or could have held with the leader of modern russia during a conversation with journalists in rome, the president of ukraine also mentioned how back in the 19th year he tried to hold negotiations with the russian dictator and we will hear and see what actually came out of this what did the president of ukraine say to talk to putin, there is nothing to talk about with him, look at her, i want to give you an example from my life in the 19th year, i became the president, there were many different criticisms , people did not want to talk to putin and i said i will now i i will try dialogue, this is not politics or it didn't give me any advantages, i really wanted to end the war, i wanted to find an agreement, we decided for a long time, because he was like , i'm sorry, princess, he couldn't find a format in which to meet, we did everything, we did everything , i did everything to have a conversation, we had a dialogue on the phone we had a meeting in a normal format, we exchanged people,

well, i don't i will then comment from zelenskyi, everyone here has already said enough. address the ukrainians and say that of course it will be good if we win by the end of the year , but i will use the subjective point of view that it will be extremely difficult to do and we must understand what we said there about the lack of weapons about the lack of resources we all have to be prepared for the fact that the war can be long and how long it will be depends on each of us, how everyone is involved in this , so we should not think that it will be at the end of the year the empire was falling apart and we need to do everything possible for this. therefore, it is necessary to prepare for a long struggle and fight, fight as our ancestors fought before , according to the latest information that appears , in particular, reuters reports that in the summer nato will develop a direct plan for direct confrontation with the russian federation, because the conflicts in ukraine have shown that the russians can go far from the other side , the armed forces of ukraine , which will be

donetsk region, luhansk region and temporarily occupied crimea in a few hours in japan volodymyr zelenskyi will speak joe biden, it will be a bilateral meeting, it was reported with reference to a high-ranking representative of the administration of the president of the united states of america. biden once again confirmed the strong support of ukraine by the united states. the white house called it a powerful statement of the seven countries that at the summit opposed russia's invasion of ukraine was supported by sanctions and announced joint efforts to train ukrainian pilots on american fighter jets earlier in washington they made it clear that they agreed to re-export in 16 ukraine and are preparing a new package of military aid worth 375 million dollars. and on the eve of the meeting with the american president volodymyr zelensky at the gsvan summit, he discussed the aviation coalition with the prime minister of great britain , called for a decision to join, and i will remind france that , in addition to britain, five countries have already joined the aviation coalition the netherlands,

the weekend of world diplomacy in the center in which ukraine once again found itself volodymyr zelenskyi with an unexpected visit to the summit of the league of arab states and his speech turned the agenda of the meeting and is already on his way to japan, where he is expected at the summit of the group of seven most powerful countries in the world, will they help non-standard moves to stop russia, the attention of many is immediately focused on two events, the leaders of the group of seven countries that started in japan and the summit of the league of arab states in saudi arabia. it is noteworthy that at both of these meetings the topic of ukraine sounded loudly, and let's start with japan, the leaders of the united states gathered in hiroshima germany, great britain, italy, canada, france , japan, as well as the european commission, before the annexation of crimea , russia was also included in the club, but it was expelled, and the place of the informal eighth member was taken by the european union, but today the leaders of the g7 on friday, they agreed to strengthen sanctions against

ukrainian president zelenskyy arrives in

when zelenskyy comes, he's expected to praise the move and likely ask the u.s. for even more aid, tom. >> okay, kristen welker leading us off tonight. kristen, we appreciate it >>> tonight we're also tracking dangerous weather back here at home 13 million people are at risk for severe storms including the possibility of tornadoes. let's get right over to dylan dreyer. dylan, what are you seeing tonight it looks like a pretty active radar. >> it is an active radar right now, and the severe thunderstorm watches have been issued, and we're starting to see more severe thunderstorm warnings popping up as well as these storms continue to move to the east. the biggest threat with these storms will be for damaging winds, perhaps over 60 miles per hour, and very large hail, especially in this area that includes texas, oklahoma, and parts of arkansas we could even see baseball-sized hail across central and southern texas that's very dangerous, especially when they occur overnight, so that is a going to be our threat tonigh ahead of the cold front. this will bring heavy ra

zelenskyi also mentioned fighter jets, and ukraine needs them, and zelenskyi hopes to form an aviationtion in these european negotiations. ukraine is defined by internationally recognized borders, since the germans are obviously worried about whether ukraine will use german weapons to attack the territory of russia, we do not attack russian territory, we we are liberating our legal land, we are not interested in this, we do not have time for this, we do not have the strength for this and there are no extra weapons for this, we focused on the preparation of counter-offensive actions regarding de-occupation in accordance with international law , according to the law, according to our constitution, where the occupation is purely our ukrainian all over the world recognized territory in russia , there can be no peace. and these are the important words of chancellor olaf scholze . since the debate in germany still does not subside, they say that peace is needed, and for this , it is necessary to bring the country to the negotiating table and russia. we also express our position very clearly

again, we'll be waiting for that meeting with president zelenskyy and biden. as soon as we know more, we'll pass that along to you. >> let's go now to nic robertson in ukraine. president zelenskyy's attendance there at the g7 summit, significant moment for his country after we watched his tour of europe. he's now in japan. >> yeah, and he's met with the italian prime minister and the british prime minister. that tour in europe was to those g7 members. it was italy, france, germany and the uk. the u.s. has really seems to have been the heavy lifter on getting the f 16 fighting jets and possibly procurement and provision of these important fighter planes for ukraine. an important ally in getting that move ing. president zelenskyy's meeting with the british prime minister was thanking him for that help in that process. when they are all sit ting in te room, zelenskyy, when he speaks collectively, will. the those other voices of the european leaders to fold in behind him and give him support. if president biden is feeling cautious. about how much engagement and ho

up and be on board or meet with zelenskyy. in the end, the president of brazil did not meet with zelenskyy. they said they could not find the time. but maybe he did not want to be put in that position of having to show support for ukraine where he has taken a neutral position as has indonesia and india, retaining their strategic ambiguity when it comes to the war in ukraine. fascinating stuff, too much to talk about in a few minutes. >> when it comes to more talks, we are checking further negotiations to pick up on the debt ceiling deal and we know that this truncated president biden trip, and it remains -- president biden's trip, and remains a distraction back home. what can we expect? >> aides to the white house and the republican leadership in the house are supposed to meet in -- just about now, which is a potentially good sign that they are at the table. and then president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy agreed during a call that president biden had from air force one to meet on monday. that will surely be seen as a

zelenskyy do to meet g7 leaders in japan. they already agreed to new measures against russia, pledging to block access to equipment services that could help in russia's war against ukraine. ♪ i am brent goff, to watching on pbs in the u.s. and all around the world, welcome. we begin this friday with the end of the isolation for syria's president. he joined fellow leaders today at an arab league summit in saudi arabia. his appearance today marking a new chapter after 12 years of isolation. you may remember the arab league suspended syria echo 2011 after syrian police stamped out arab spring protests that eventually set off a decade-long civil war in syria. the saudi crown prince pushed for the president to take part in the talks in saudi arabia. he made an upbeat appearance. translator: there is renewed hope for arab regional and international encroachment brought in by the summit. and i hope it will signal a new phase in arab coordination and solidarity among us, and peace and prosperity in our region instead of war and destr

it is what president zelenskyy can do not just with g-7 leaders. the g-7 has been steadfast in its support with a degree of durability that i think even surprises some of its staunchest boosters. it is the other leaders that have been invited. invited.ountries that have bee as it pertains to ukraine and russia's vegas invasion of ukraine. to share his views and more importantly, to talk about a diplomatic pathway out. if not to people them away from russia entirely or perhaps move them a little closer to ukraine in this conflict. that's important. all of this is feeding into a really critical moment in a conflict and a critical motel for both president zelenskyy and g-7 leaders. >> all right. stay with us. joining you there in hiroshima is political and national security adviser david sanger. he is also a correspondent for the "new york times." david, what is at stake between this meeting with president biden and zelenskyy? >> as phil pointed out, we are really at a critical moment. i think we're at a critical moment for two or three reasons. the c

so i would say that it comes at a very convenient time for zelenskyy.re were some comments in the german press, which i translated myself, saying that maybe zelenskyy is not able to put up a really convincing counteroffensive, so he compensates for it by making these attacks against oil depots and now against the kremlin. that sounds like a more possible theory for me. imran: hanna, whoever was responsible for this attack, ukraine will have to deal with the circumstances of it. what is zelenskyy and his inner cabinet, what do you think they're thinking right now? what do you think their response to this is? are they just going to wait to see what moscow does next? >> if we speak about the ukrainian side, i would say a disruption of the oil depots is a demonstration of the weakness of ukraine. that is very much in line with the preparation for the counter offense. because the counter offense is not only about a number of ammunition and forces but also about the capabilities of supply and of the logistics of the both sides, because it is not a one minute

zelenskyy has a remarkable strategy. how do his trips outside of country help galvanize global support or, at a minimum, maintain it? >> it's an extraordinary trip. it began in europe. he hits several capitals there. then he went to saudi arabia for the arab league. now he's in asia in japan. this is a really whirlwind and world wide trip for him. it is crucial because he needs to continue to get the support from the allies. he also needs to begin to reach out in person to other countries that are not really share ing o they support ukraine in general, but when it comes to sanctions and other aspects, they do not. that is the countries from the global south, developing countries, big countries like india and brazil. the leaders of those countries are there. that's a really good lobbying opportunity for zelenskyy. >> that the u.s. is allowing or giving the green light of allies providing f-16s and then potentially helping to train ukrainian pilots, how much of a potential game changer is this, particularly at this junctur

this is happening while zelenskyy is away. hive been talking to commanders here about the good news for them, they say, that these f-16s can get into the hands of their pilots. the pilots can get training and bring them here. they said that will give them some air superiority, allow them to target deeply behind russian lines, hit their fuel lines and supply lines and turn the tide of the battle. they want that equipment, but it's going to be a while before the f-16s actually arrive here and are battle ready in hands that are battle competent to take them to the enemy. >> nic robertson, thanks for that update. >>> with me now, joel ruben. so good to see you. president zelenskyy has said before that he is concerned about war fatigue overall on the part of his allies. but now hearing the u.s. giving kind of the green light on f-16s, the allies coming together during the g7 saying they're committed to ukraine. should zelenskyy have that kind of worry right now? >> well, it is great to be with you. this is a transformative moment f

he refused to have a bilateral with zelenskyy there. how do you think that changed the character of the meeting in terms of what the g7 priorities are going forward for ukraine? >> reporter: it certainly allowed zelenskyy to make the appeal face-to-face. he did walk out with modi fairly upbeat. he thought india would participate in the coalition against russia. how they do that remains to be seen. seasonally when you talk to american officials, zelenskyy believes when he can get to the leaders face-to-face, when he can make that in-person appeal, he feels like he can vm v some effect. as phil has mentioned, he's basically done this all around the world at this point. the leaders here in the actual g7 were very hopeful those appeals would have an effect on the invited guests. and you heard french president iemmanuel macron say it could b a game-changer in trying to get to the global south. da silva did not meet with zelenskyy. he's one of those so-called fence-sitters. others would like to meet with zelenskyy, but it appears it's not hap

zelenskyy to germany.uch of this is part of efforts by the chancellor to reset relations with the ukrainian leadership, which as you know has been at times rocky? >> this is, indeed, long overdue, the same way as schulz has been late visiting kyiv, june last year. it is late zek is coming to berlin after he's been to helsinki and the netherlands. it's not a beauty contest, but it's still surprising that this visit is coming relatively late. so the sign sent with this visit by the german chancellor and by the government is perhaps relations between ukraine and germany are not as warm, are not as strong as other countries' relations are, but they are substantial, they are fundamental for ukraine in their fight against russia's invasion. >> in conclusion, beyond this military aid acpackage, there ia willingness for berlin to play a more prominent role, specifically for people unfamiliar with germany's reluctant to export weapons to conflict zones? can you explain how much has changed and what led to this mome

what does this trip mean for zelenskyy? >> reporter: we know how effective zelenskyy has been about asking for things, putting them on the agenda, back in the early days of the war, it was just ammunition, help, anti-tank missiles, earlier this year tanks and now fighter jets. he'sed it. he has these commitments. he's going to want to put flesh on the bones about when they can come and how much training can be give on the how many pilots, what weapons systems these planes can be equipped with and when thoekey can be put into th battlefield effectively. president zelenskyy characterizes how he'll approach this as sort of coordinating, planning with partners, you know, working with them. and this is what the face-to-face nature of being at the g7 in japan with these leaders and key partners, big economic powers who have the money to buy the missiles and persuade others to do the same. zelenskyy can go face-to-face with them and get them on the same page and persuade them why they need to do it. he's talking about, you know, p

it's in our hearts, president zelenskyy says. what do we know?er: so the latest from the ukrainian side is that they say that in southwest corner of the city, in the urban area, if you like, there still are ukrainian troops fighting even though kremlin and the wagner mercenary group claim they captured the town itself. now, it is also flanked independently of what the ukrainians may claim to the north and south by the ukrainian troops. they have been advancing. there has been some bitter fighting there. but they have been able to push around the city. so this not over. it should be seen really a as part of the ebb and flow of combat in general strategically bakhmut doesn't matter. it has been a killing ground for ukrainians and for the russians for many months now. more russians have perished there than ukrainians. i don't think there is any doubt about that. it's been a bloody and brutal battle. in all probability, simply not over. this a temporary stunt if you like from the wagner group saying they want to pull out by thursday and happened over

events of what is happening in ukraine and the world, and this episode begins with this volodymyr zelenskyy did not confirm the capture of bakhmut by the russians , the presidential spokesman serhiy nikiforov emphasized, the western media reported that the president of ukraine during the gs summit you nuu hiroshima allegedly recognized the loss of bakhmut and stated that i quote bakhmut today only in our hearts, but later zelenskyi's press secretary serhiy nikiforov wrote that the heads of state asked whether pravda the russians say that they took bakhmut and to which zelensky replied, i think no. in this way, the president denied taking the city , clarified nekyferov. on the flanks makes it very difficult for the enemy to be in bakhmut, our defense forces maintain control over industrial infrastructure facilities and private sector of the city in the vicinity of the plane, the peace summit should be held in july, when a symbolic period of 500 days has passed since the beginning of the full-scale war . the president of ukraine , volodymyr zelenskyi, addressed the leaders of the gs7 countrie

president latimer zelenskyy has just come back from his european tour.s gotten a lot of his wants on his wish list but not the fighter jets. was it a success? peter: overall i think it was a success. and the fact that our president has collected pledges by member states of nato including france that supports ukraine's eventual membership with nato and that was important. i would discount the importance of the f-16 short-term because it will take months to get our pilots trained. this may be a little of -- a little bit of a red herring. what is important is to get as much artillery support, tanks, electronic devices, etc. that ukraine needs to stage a successful counteroffensive. fighter jets are important and i believe they will come eventually for whatever post war security arrangement is found for ukraine. long-term i think ukraine needs them but short-term, it will be tough but i think ukraine's counteroffensive can be successful without them. nastasya: we have seen a robust round of weapons commitments. it is a fine line. how is the latest round of c
