单集简介 ...

Straight off the back of the Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump hosted Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House as he pushes for an end to the war in Ukraine. The last time they met in the Oval Office, it ended in an argument in front of the world's media. It was a friendlier encounter this time, with Zelensky handing a letter to Donald Trump from his wife to the First Lady, Melania Trump. It was soon followed by a meeting of major European leaders, all of whom travelled to Washington in solidarity with the Ukrainian president. Beyond the smiles and warm words, how much was actually agreed at today's meetings, and are we any closer to a trilateral summit between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S?

  • Hello.

  • So much has changed since we did that episode of Newscast on Saturday morning,

  • rounding up what had happened in the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska.

  • Basically, the vibe from that was that it was all about the optics,

  • with Trump putting Putin on the same level as him, which some people found quite offensive.

  • However, actually... quite a lot has changed substantively as a result of that summit.

  • Gone is the idea of a temporary ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine as a precondition for negotiations.

  • Donald Trump is now going straight to an ultimate peace settlement.

  • But back in play is these much-wanted security guarantees.

  • The idea of kind of international backup for Ukraine to prevent any further Russian aggression.

  • The Americans seem to be quite up

  • for providing something that looks a bit like Article 5 of the NATO Treaty,

  • which is the collective defence clause in the NATO Treaty,
