the, they make the rules and we have to fall on the is the positive collaboration, possible. royce, in africa, dodge, jean 7 this is the w news live from the ukraine. peace folks all set to begin into a key. but without some key players, russians, government person won't be at the talks, and it's done bolts folks that he 1st suggested, russian officials will meet with a ukrainian delegation that may or may not include president. lot of me is lensky. donald trump pulse. i floated the idea of attending the talks before also backing out. instead, the us president will be depositing cuts off of the united arab emirates, the final leg on his goals to the

money keeps mckinnon. a very warm welcome. the 1st direct peace talks and he is between ukraine and russia all set to begin without vladimir to send. the russian president's name is known as on the list of delegates. the kremlin says we'll attend the eastern bull tools. recurring in president is headed for to keep it. it's not clear whether he'll be taking part in the talks either. meanwhile, in the tucker city of antalya, the ukrainian foreign, minnesota andres to be ha, has met with the us x ray of states, monica rubio, and senator lindsey graham. the senator was preparing a list of functions on russia, which would be implemented if the u. s. becomes convinced president person is not serious about ending the war, a new train and we can get more on this from all correspondent, judy hom, who's in eastern bowl. so yeah, what is the license there and tacky or well, you premium president,

a zalinski is scheduled to meet with president ad one in the turkish capital on crowd this off to noon. from that, those could theoretically fly over to a symbol to take part in the talks with russian delegation. but that is expected to be clarified after hours on end zelinski speak, because so far ukraine has insisted that valencia would only come to a symbol if pushing was also here. now we know that he is not part of the russian delegation. that delegation has arrived here and is symbol that was concerned by the kremlin. it's a team lead by presidential aid, mundane, sky. it also includes some senior officials from the russian flooring and defense ministry. so a team of experience technical, it's many say, but that has already received a criticism from west and officials to say russia is not really serious about the piece of 1st with ukraine because they have sense of what they say is

a low level delegation. despite all this, um the tucker shows the turkish foreign minister in particular try to a set and will hold full tone. he said that there was a new window of opportunity to achieve a piece. and that he hope the talks in is simple. would open a new chapter if we can talk a little bit about about key and about the turkish president. how important is it for the president at one to be playing such a big role in this or well, i think for him pass me. this is very important to get that kind of a global stage to be seen as an important actor in this key, international conflict and the possible media to a he has offered many times since russia invaded ukraine in 2022 to host peace talks. he's also repeatedly invited president fulton to come to turkey. in fact, the 1st talks a few weeks into the war they took place here in turkey,

in antalya 1st and then in east double. now we all know these talks failed pataki late to help mediate a landmark grand deal and several prisoner exchanges and be success as has been acknowledged by western leaders. so no matter what the outcome of today's talks, i think ad one can use it to portray himself as an international statesman who was working towards stability in eastern europe, but also in other crises in the middle east. he's received a lot of praise recently by u. s. president trump and yeah, uh, his critics say that probably helps him to distract from all the domestic problems and backlash he's facing. because let's remember just 2 months ago, we saw a mass protest here in turkey over the rest of our guns. key political arrival is stumbles. may a crumb emailed me to where people said this is an anti democratic crack down on, on, via position. so people are also afraid that it will be international attention will help add on. get away with that, right, which makes the crust. the question is to

a key, obviously, a nato allies well is to keep a credible media to in this conflict between russia and ukraine. a well presidents, a landscape appears to trust ad one ad one has managed to maintain throughout the war. good ties with both keys and most co. he's supported ukraine. withdraw jones, on vig vehicles, but also gave a lot of political backing while at the same time, not joining western sanctions against the kremlin talk is to a certain extend. it depends on russian or gas and tours. they also have a corporation in, in the nuclear, our area for example. and there was a regular, a diplomatic contact and diplomatic channels between moscow and encore. and i think that sort of balancing act as an add on has performed in the last year or is it really helped him propelled him into this position where he is seen as a key player in this crisis end a mediator w's, usually a 100,

pushing from east w. yes, thank you so much. at the south castle is a military and security expert. i spoke to him earlier and i asked him, what he makes is the fact that the russian presidents weren't the of these piece talks with ukraine in turkey. while it was a roughly, as i expected, it basically the whole idea of 1st thing just talk most of the version of the worst try it's to put up to you and you find from behind the idea of a 30 day truce or a ceasefire. pretend didn't like that on a he kind of a suggested immediately these negotiations in order not to have to talk about this every day sees file of these talks of will and without the results. and the goal was go on, which is the result of 2 teen volts. so russian officials have been portraying

rusher is winning on the baffle failed. and so it should get to what it wants. what message do you think the russian delegation will be delivering up these tools? yes, the russians are for the confidence that are they will win the war and whether they will do it and the way to do it that will be seen in part of it. they basically see the us ministry supplies to train the run out. there's a new package that is, that is coming off to the bite. and administration's 8 packages will, will be delivered a sort of their plane for time. that's the most important fact. the other thing is, of course, that will set up the mountains on ukraine seizing territories. territory stats are, i found that i have a control during the war. there will demand a dismantling of the ukrainian army. they will, uh, do you mind russian cities rights to interfere in

ukrainian domestic politics a beat on language, low beat on a deciding who can be elected at all these kind of a deep interferences ukrainians are not going to accept the fighting. and this war exactly to become independent from russia. and so that's, and that's basically what they're fighting about and the parties will depart on that further than. so let's case being really clear saying that he wants to negotiate with person directly. now that's not going to happen. can you cry and still gain anything from these tools? a while the main message or the domain name for you, crane and installed is not a to a look us the party that is abandoning the talks in the eyes of donald trump. even if the trump administration of old trump is the president withdrawals full

negotiations because he's fed up with it, it will depend on what conditions he might withdrawal. continue that or will there be in all the aid package? will he even allow your p and countries to, for example, or you've trained to per chase, patrick interceptors for examples of other weapon systems daily needed munitions? or will he block that and declare i kind of american neutrality? does the does not of supplying your brain or does not allow any supply to ukraine that will make a huge difference in the war and hands, or of course a ukrainians find for the hearts and minds of the american president. but they're very well aware, the tutoring is not going to talk until today or not going to talk seriously until the day that he sees he called when the won't be terribly and that they haven't come yet. so do you think the rusher is under any real pressure from the u. s. and other western countries to you know, to broke or

a loss things he saw i deal with the train on a absolutely not. um we, we saw the big to his disappointment yesterday the you sanctions on 180 or shadow sleep tankers who are already on the us sanctions to your sanctions on this all, much more effective. so basically purely symbolic act, and there's not, not a big amount of pressure coming from the west ols adult. trump only talks about sanctions of terrorist. they probably won't hurt the russians who uh, re routed their economic ties, financial ties, defense, industrial ties to particularly tools, china. and the chinese will continue to support them. let's say uh, putting does not feel at all any pressure to move on all to get into any phase of construct defense substances tools. and what we see now performance,

you've talked to stall and to fight for time, and to kind of keep a donald trump at bc with all those things. then pondering about sanctions or whatever, lindsey gray him proposes and, and the rest of the so far, the russians all successful with that is the trans security aspect of stuff. so thank you so much for your insights. here's a quick look up. some of the other stories making headlines around the world today and hospital work as in golf, same more than 50 people have been killed in overnight strikes in hong eunice. it was the 2nd nice of heavy building across the palestinian territory. is ready, 5 minutes of any minutes and you know who has vowed to step up military operations in gaza aiming to eliminate the militant group from us. at least 21 people have been killed in on highway accident in mexico. local media, say the crash and south central mexico involved a cement truck, a boss, i'm the transport them. number of road accidents and mexico has been rising and

middle east diplomacy conflict and peace building. i spoke to him earlier in austin for his assessment of president trump, this trip. so fall to oh, i think it's been uh very successful, particularly new compared to his visit from 2017 and also it has a interesting shift in terms of focus back in 2017. it was very much for pissed on trying to protect the color from there on this does have it on is not seen as much if that's right, that is just not presented as a focus for, for the visit. and also a 2017. you also talked about assigning us of contracts and you know, to have billions of dollars and so on. but they were largely in defense sales at this time was so good idea of the duty fun. this is probably 25 to 70 percent of what he's agreed. what has been agreed, but majority of the funding is going to technology development related

infrastructure related, which should and times somehow that the future relationship is going to be more mutual in terms of development investment. and hopefully by having a real estate in the region, the, the security, what would follow that data and state's interest and there is a security will no longer be driven from abstract position more a, from an interest in captivating. and in the growing, it's a vestment in the region. a sultan direct that speaking to me earlier, you're watching d. w. a news has a reminder of our top story piece talks all set to stylists and assemble between russian and ukrainian delegates. but without the russian president vladimir putin is also not yet certain whether ukraine's president load them is the landscape, will be taken with that you are up to date and stay with us if you can up next,
