  Speaker 1: Thank you, Trey.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: All right, Trey Yanks over in Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, we're
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: just hours away from President Trump expecting to meet with
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: the president of Ukraine, Zelensky, on the sidelines of the U.N.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: General Assembly.
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: Jeff Paul joins us live from our London bureau with
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: the details. Good morning, Jeff.
• 0:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, good morning. And despite this critical meeting between President
• 0:17
  Speaker 5: Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia and Ukraine continue
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: to exchange deadly strikes, with both claiming to have hit
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: crucial oil refineries. Overnight, Ukraine hitting deep in Russian territory,
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: damaging yet another oil refinery in their latest long-range attack.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Ukrainian drones hitting several targets at a refinery southeast of Moscow,
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: sparking massive fires. Meanwhile, Russian forces hit targets in Ukraine's
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: industrial heartland, as well as in residential housing, as you
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: see here in Kiev. The latest Russian barrage of missiles,
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: drones and artillery fire cut off power to thousands of people,
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: killing at least four in Dnipro. The attacks happening as
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Ukraine's President Zelenskyy began his visit to New York. So far,
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: he's met with U.S. senators, where he briefed them on
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: de-escalation measures that he'll likely propose to President Trump later today.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Vice President J.D. Vance was asked about when the wars
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: in Ukraine and Iran will end and had this to say.
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: I'm always optimistic that we're going to make progress. I
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: think as the president has said, the Russia-Ukraine war has
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: been by far the toughest of the international conflicts to solve.
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: I'm sure there's going to be some good progress made.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: But look, this thing has been tough to solve, no
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: doubt about it. But I'd rather work for a president
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: who has energetically tried to solve the problem or to
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: keep on trying to solve it. Do I think it'll
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: get solved eventually? Yes, it's just a question of time.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: President Trump expressed his concerns over the war in Ukraine,
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: writing on social media that Russia has unfortunately lost control
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: of its diesel oil industry, adding this ridiculous and never-ending
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: war with Ukraine must be ended. Zelensky responded to Trump's
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: post saying, indeed, this Russian war against Ukraine and against
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: common sense must be ended. Trump and Zelensky, meanwhile, are
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: set to meet today in New York at 115 Eastern Time.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Lawrence Ainsley, Brian.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Jeff. And I guess front and center
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: is going to be, the president said, look, diesel is
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: like $ 6. 23 a gallon. And it's because the Ukrainians are
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: blowing up the Russian refineries. And they've been unbelievably successful
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: in doing it. And if you could stop that, we'd
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: get the price down. But if they stop that, the
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: war machine continues to be, the Russian continues to fuel
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the war machine, which is actually aiming for innocent people
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and kidnapping kids.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: It's a balance in that. We're fighting our war. Right now,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: when it comes to Iran, the price is going up
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: because of that. The Ukrainians are fighting their war as well,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: and the price of diesel is going up. We have
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: the opportunity to ask the Secretary of State about that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: This is what he had to say.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: The one thing we are concerned about, however, is that
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: over the last few months, on a number of occasions,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: American-linked ships, American oil supplies have been targeted, probably not deliberately,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. And so that's something that
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: needs to be addressed. We can't have that happen. But obviously,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: you know, look, that's why the president has always wanted
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to end this war and is prepared to do anything
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: he can to bring it to an end. It's been difficult,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: but we remain hopeful that something can happen there. Yeah,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: we would propose that. We think that would be a
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: great idea, an energy infrastructure ceasefire in which Ukraine's infrastructure
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: is not being targeted. Russian energy supplies are not being
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: targeted as well. It's an ideal outcome. It's one that
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: we're in favor of, and we would propose and see
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: if we can achieve. We've talked to a number of
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: countries about that as well. But just like the war,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: it takes two sides to agree to that. And so
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: that's been the challenge.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: President Zelensky, I saw a video of him arriving here
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in America, and right now he's visiting the 9-11 Museum downtown.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And he put this on X or on social media.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: He said, the peace track is our number one priority.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: We are working together with the American team, and we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: are ready to take... really serious steps. Our president, when
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: he meets with him at 115, it's being reported that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: he wants an energy ceasefire. He wants an agreement from
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: not only Putin, but also Zelensky, that they'll stop these
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: military strikes that are targeting the power and the fuel
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and the energy infrastructure, because that will lower costs for us,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: for our diesel and for our gas.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: The problem with Russia, much like Iran, when you're dealing
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: with clerics in Iran, it You have Putin's stated goal
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: is to get the old Soviet Union back together. And
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: so there's no desire for peace from Putin. There's no
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: desire for peace from the Iranians as well. And so
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: although we encourage the president to try to get both
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: sides to the table, you're battling two radical ideologies together.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: The Ukrainians in particular would end the war, but they're
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: not going to give the Donbass region— and I'll tell you
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the truth, Crimea right now is uninhabitable. They thought that
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: going to take Crimea was never— should be given away by
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Khrushchev in the 60s anyway. Well, the Ukrainians have been
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: so effective, now the Russians can't—they have their military base there.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: It was supposed to be the vacation spot. Not anymore.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So— and there's—evidently, they lost 900 meters' worth of land last year,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and they gained 800 meters. So they've lost a net,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: 100 million. That's what you're fighting for?
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: That's why you're giving up 30,000 troops?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: He doesn't care. But the president's now importing, Vladimir Putin's
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: importing North Koreans, up to 50,000, and the North Korean
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: missiles to help rocket them. That's why we can't abandon Ukraine.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And you saw that when the Latvia... foreign minister was here.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: We know what it's like living under communism. We know
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: what the Russians are trying to reconstitute the Soviet Union.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: We got them on our border and Belarus, a vassal state,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the border. But that's why
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: we're paying 5%.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Of our GDP.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But she says we do have NATO protecting us. She
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: also said, you asked her, what is it like living
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: under a communist regime or socialism? And she said, we
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: weren't free. We didn't have a choice. And the state
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: tells you how to think and what to do.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: That's pushing back in our elections.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: She was telling us that Putin, he is the leader,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and if anyone tries to go against him, he stops it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: There was a political agenda from another group, and he
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: stopped it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a Stop the War group that rose
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: up to be part of the election.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He disbanded it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And she even brought up the fact that in the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Soviet Union, the Politburo and the president, they all kind
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of worked against each other, like almost a check and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: balance on each other, even in their own communist way.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Now it's only Vladimir Putin.
