0:30Ukrainian President Zelensky just took the dagger and put it right into the heart of
0:36Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's plan to try to set a trap in Geneva.
0:43Zelensky, joined by the UK and France, smoked out what Donald Trump and Putin were
0:50trying to do. You see, yesterday and today, there are trilateral negotiations that are taking
0:59place in Geneva between Russia, the United States and Ukraine.
1:04Donald Trump and Putin wanted to use this to pressure Zelensky to give up all
1:12of Donbass and most of eastern Ukraine.
1:15They were preparing to gang up on Zelensky, corner him, corner his negotiators and say,
1:23give up eastern Ukraine right now or else.
1:27And then list numerous threats.
1:30Zelensky saw what was happening.
1:32He called up his friends in Europe.
1:34He called up the UK.
1:36He called up France. And their delegation showed up and they were not originally invited
1:43to even be there. And UK representatives, French representatives, some European Union representatives showed up
1:52and said, what, you're not going to let us in here?
1:55If you don't let us in here, then there's no valid negotiation taking place.
2:01Ukraine is Europe. Europe is Ukraine.
2:04And there can be no deal unless Europe is here.
2:08And then we saw what the plan was.
2:12Russia had a new negotiator who was at the table, who brought all of his
2:17fake history books to say, you see, all of eastern Ukraine and Ukraine in general
2:22belongs to Russia. There should be no peace deal at all because the only peace
2:28that exists is Ukraine fully submitting.
2:32Not to mention that before this meeting took place in Geneva, before these negotiations took
2:39place, Russia struck Ukraine with some of the worst ballistic missiles and Shahi drone strikes
2:47that we've seen since the war began.
2:50They hit 12 regions, 400 drones, almost 30 missiles.
2:55At least three people were killed.
2:58That was right before the Geneva negotiations, the trilateral was set to take place.
3:05Then right after the trilateral took place, Russia began the day with 29 missiles of
3:12various types trying to strike Ukraine again.
3:16Unfortunately, 25 were shot down.
3:20It was a barrage of Russian missiles, Russian Shahi drones.
3:25This is how it's described by Dennis Schleiderman.
3:29The delegations from the UK and France join the talks between Russia, the US and
3:35Ukraine in Geneva without being invited.
3:38I think this really messed up the plans to quickly sort everything out behind Europe's
3:43back and push for the annexation of Donbass, which is obviously what the US and
3:48Russian delegates were planning to do.
3:50London and Paris made it clear no agreements about Europe without Europe.
3:56It's an extremely important show of support and a demonstration of their position.
4:02Zelensky also posted the following message himself in the massive strike with which Russians began
4:08the day. He talks about how Ukraine was successful in knocking down a lot of
4:13these missiles. It's an important result for our air defense.
4:16And once again, we emphasize that air defense is a daily necessity.
4:20I think all of our partners who understand this, by the way, that's referring to
4:26the fact that the US doesn't understand this.
4:28Russia greets with a strike even the very day new formats begin in Geneva, trilateral
4:34and bilateral with the United States.
4:36This very clearly shows what Russia wants and what it's truly intent on.
4:40Almost 400 drones launched as well.
4:44Later today, there will be a report from the delegation following the first round of
4:48talks in Geneva. The team absolutely must raise the issue of these strikes.
4:52First of all, with the American side, which proposed that both Ukraine and Russia refrain
4:57from attacks. Ukraine is ready.
4:58We do not need war.
5:00And we always act symmetrically defending our state and our independence.
5:04Likewise, we're ready to move quickly toward a just agreement to end the war.
5:08The only question is for the Russians, what do they want?
5:11What do they want? And also whether there will be consequences for Russia for the
5:15fact that the Shaheed missiles and fantasy chatter about history matter more to them than
5:21real diplomacy and lasting peace.
5:24And the whole time you have Donald Trump, like when he was on Air Force
5:28One the other day, threatening Ukraine.
5:30He's saying Ukraine better come to the table fast.
5:33Ukraine better do this. Ukraine better do that.
5:36Ukraine's at the table. Ukraine's agreeing to a ceasefire.
5:40Ukraine's agreeing to elections. Ukraine's agreeing to a referendum to also give up portions of
5:47Donbass and to give up portions of eastern Ukraine.
5:50All Ukraine is saying is we need a ceasefire, a real lasting ceasefire, and then
5:56we can have our people be able to vote and to be able to make
6:01this determination, self -determination, sovereignty.
6:04I can't unilaterally give up the remainder of Donbass.
6:09Zelensky says, what would my people think of me?
6:12And what would the people think of being Ukrainian in general?
6:16The older I get, the more I find myself wanting to be more intentional about
6:19the way I live, eat, and take care of my body.
6:22Mosh, which you may have heard about on Oprah's Favorite Things, was founded by Maria
6:26Shriver and her son Patrick Schwarzenegger with a simple mission, to create a conversation about
6:31brain health through food, education, and research.
6:33Maria's father suffered from Alzheimer's, and since then she and Patrick have dedicated themselves to
6:39finding ways to help other families dealing with this debilitating disease.
6:43Mosh joined forces with the world's top scientists and functional nutritionists to go beyond your
6:48average protein bar. Each Mosh bar is made with ingredients that support brain health, like
6:53ashwagandha, lion's made collagen, and omega -3s, plus a game -changing brain -boosting ingredient you
7:00won't find in any other bar.
7:02Mosh is the first and only food brand boosted with Cognizant, a premium nootropic that
7:06supplies the brain with a padded form of Cytoclean.
7:09Mosh bars also actually taste great and come in nine mouth -watering flavors, including three
7:15new plant -based flavors, chocolate chip cookie, hazelnut chocolate chip, and peanut butter chocolate chip.
7:21But here's the best part to make you feel good.
7:24Mosh also donates a portion of all proceeds from your order to fund gender -based
7:29brain health research through the women's Alzheimer's movement.
7:32Why gender -based? Well, two -thirds of Alzheimer's patients are women.
7:36Mosh is working closely to close the gap between women and men's health research.
7:40I'm truly a huge fan of Mosh and their mission.
7:42Plus, it's a huge bonus that that peanut butter chocolate chip Mosh bar tastes delicious.
7:47Trust me, I won't steer you wrong.
7:48You have to try it.
7:49If you want to find ways to give back to others and fuel your body
7:53and your brain, Mosh bars are the perfect choice for you.

8:17Midas. Zelensky gave this interview to Axios where he said, Ukrainian people will reject any
8:25peace deal that involves Ukraine unilaterally withdrawing from Eastern Donbass.
8:31And this new negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, he just showed up to try to stall and
8:38to try to blow this up.
8:40And all he does is philosophize about their own historical roots.
8:45It's like Trump's meandering psychotic speeches where Trump's like, this is how you make America
8:51great again. Mendisky's like, this is how you make Russia great again.
8:55This is our land. This is our territory.
8:58And Zelensky's like, look, you want to talk about troop withdrawal.
9:01I'm down to talk about it.
9:03Why don't we freeze the current battle lines where they are?
9:09Why would we give up areas that Russia's unable to conquer?
9:12Because the moment that we give up those battle lines, they're going to use it
9:16to then go further and further into Ukraine.
9:18They're going to use this, that which they can't conquer through military means in order
9:24to then rearm, build up its forces, and then go again on the offensive.
9:30That's why we need real security guarantees.
9:33Zelensky says it's not fair that Trump kept publicly calling on Ukraine and not Russia
9:38to make concessions. And his conversations with Kushner and Witkoff don't involve that kind of
9:44pressure that he says Trump is now using in public.
9:48He's like, what the hell are you even trying to do?
9:51Here's what Trump, here's what he's referring to.
9:53Here's what Trump said aboard Air Force One.
9:55Here play this clip. You're going to have Ukraine talks tomorrow as well in Geneva
10:00with Witkoff and Jericho. What are you expecting there?
10:04Is there a big talks?
10:05It's going to be very easy.
10:07I mean, it's, look, so far, Ukraine better come to the table fast.
10:12That's all I'm telling you.
10:14We are in a position, we want them to come.
10:18And Zelensky made it very clear in Munich, Ukraine's ready for a deal that brings
10:24real peace to Ukraine and Europe.
10:26Here play this clip. Dear friends, Ukraine is ready for a deal that brings real
10:35peace to us, to Ukraine, to Europe.
10:37And I'm confident that this War can be ended and ended with dignity.
10:42This is the most important for us.
10:44But he says Putin's like Hitler.
10:47You can't do a deal with Hitler.
10:49Really, you think that you can do a deal with the modern day Hitler?
10:52Here, play this clip. And it seems Putin hopes to repeat Munich and not Munich.
11:022007, when they only spoke about dividing Europe.
11:06But Munich, 1938, when previous Putin began dividing Europe in reality.
11:13It would be an illusion to believe that this war can now be reliably ended
11:19by dividing Ukraine, just as it was an illusion to believe that sacrificing Czechoslovakia would
11:26save Europe from a great war.
11:29And then Zelensky talked about in Munich this idea of concessions.
11:32You want this concession, that concession.
11:35America turns to concessions. But what about security guarantees?
11:39And why is it always Ukraine?
11:41Give, give, give. And we've given everything.
11:43Russia hasn't given one concession.
11:45Here, play this clip. The Americans often return to the topic of concessions.
11:52And too often, those concessions are discussed in the context only of Ukraine.
11:59Not Russia. Europe is practically, practically not present at the table.
12:06It's a big mistake to my mind.
12:09And it is. We, I think we Ukrainians, we Ukrainians who are trying to bring
12:18Europe fully into the process so that Europe's interests and voice.
12:23And I think here is one of the most important lines that Zelensky gave in
12:28Munich. And then I'll just show you one other thing.
12:30Where he said, you see, Putin sees himself as a czar.
12:34But in reality, he's a slave to war.
12:37And all he, could you imagine Putin with no war?
12:41His very existence is based on war and killing people.
12:45And here's what Zelensky has to say.
12:48Here, play this clip. He may see himself as a czar, but in reality, he
12:54is a slave to war.
12:56And if he lives another 10 years, we can understand it can be.
13:04War can return or expand.
13:07That is why we say there must be real security guarantees.
13:12Now, as I mentioned, the French delegation showed up in Geneva, thankfully.
13:17And here's what French President Macron previewed what the French delegation was going to do.
13:23Play this clip. As all the allies, we have to be the one to negotiate
13:28this new architecture of security for Europe the day after because our geography will not
13:35change. We will live with Russia at the same place and the Europeans at the
13:41same place. And I don't want this negotiation to be organized by somebody else.
13:47More from French President Emmanuel Macron right here as well.
13:51Let's play this clip right here.
14:08And as Barack Ravind explains, two sources with knowledge told me that negotiations in the
14:17political group in Geneva got stuck today.
14:19The sources said the reason was that the positions presented by the new Russian chief
14:25negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, made it impossible to have any discussions.
14:31As our editor -in -chief, Ron Filipkowski, says, this comes less than 24 hours after
14:37Trump once again said Ukraine was the problem.
14:41Now, Ukraine has, Ukraine working with Europe, Europe is Ukraine, Ukraine is Europe, putting on
14:48a united front and making it very clear that Europe is fully united.
14:53They won't bend, they won't break, they won't be ripped apart by the United States.
14:57I think that was a critical move.
14:59Also, this is now connected with Canada.
15:02This is connected with Australia.
15:04This is now connected, this connected there.
15:08I think that's very important as well to point out.
15:12And, I mean, you really have what appear, you know, the alliances are clear, right?
15:18It's U .S. and Russia.
15:21Sickening, but that's what it is.
15:23And it was Ukraine, Europe, Canada, Australia, you know, basically together right there.
15:30So, we'll keep you posted every step of the way.
15:33But that's where we're at right now.
