Simon Marks reacts to ongoing US-Ukraine tension

We talk a lot about what Donald Trump said, his latest tweet, his most recent statement—let's discuss it. Let's talk about what they did. Let's talk about the fact that Defense Minister Behtiyar Bistula is actually allowing it. With Patriot missiles arriving in Kyiv, where they are urgently needed for defense, and Donald Trump himself is blocking the latest sanctions enacted by Congress against Russia. Yes, certainly, Andrew. I mean, within the past 72 to 96 hours, it has become It is perfectly clear that Donald Trump is now determined to bring about a permanent rupture. As I understand it, between the United States and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Ukraine's broader aspirations for maintaining its sovereignty and territorial integrity He wants to hold this trilateral meeting on the sidelines of the economic cooperation summit. The Asia-Pacific countries' meeting scheduled to be held next month in Shenzhen, China A closed-door meeting between him and Vladimir Putin and President Xi Jinping Without European presence at the table and without any participation Not at all from President Vladimir Zelensky The plan promoted initially by Vladimir Putin will see the attainment of an agreement. Regarding the features of the peace deal that those powers will later impose on Volodymyr Zelenskyy It is clear in President Trump's mind that it will involve cutting. Ukraine's annexation by Russia of the peninsula Crimea, at the very least, and large parts of eastern Ukraine Then remember that Donald Trump had invited Vladimir Putin to a summit. Twenty-one, one month after, at his golf club in Florida Andy Burnham will be there, and Vladimir Putin might be there too. That might be the place Donald Trump is heading. Vladimir Putin to the other members of the G20, saying Either accept this or nothing at all. It's truly exceptional to even consider it. The way the world is changing before our eyes Three major powers ignore Europe and divide European countries. Do you think this is the beginning of the end for the European-American alliance? Well, I think that will place enormous pressure on this alliance. In fact, it may threaten the collapse of the NATO alliance. Another element in this I spoke about the stagnation that Ukraine is facing. Regarding the exchange of intelligence information And those objections and Patriot missiles that The United States does not provide it to Ukraine. What the White House is doing is managing disruptions within the procurement system, and this does not It is content with sabotaging Ukraine and endangering the lives of Ukrainian civilians only. Moreover, this approach harms Europeans, as every time American weapons ultimately end up in Ukraine. Go through the purchasing process in which Europeans and partners make payments. The United States' international relations versus those weapons it sends The United States then transferred its stocks to Ukraine. Therefore, this represents a comprehensive disturbance in Ukraine, and also within the corridors of European power I would like to talk a little tonight about Ukraine and in particular Exclusive on U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio As you probably know, it's very likely that when Donald Trump finally exits the political stage. We will witness a fierce battle between Senator Rubio, Vice President J.D. Vance, and possibly Pete. Hilfs also on the Republican Party's presidential nomination in 2028 Of course, each of them will be severely tainted by their involvement in Trump's administration. But Senator Rubio's efforts over the past few days to erect a smoke screen obscuring There were no limits to the attempts to uncover exactly what the Americans are doing in Ukraine. Ukrainians say that with Donald Trump now aligning himself completely with Vladimir Putin, who is a war criminal wanted Because in Kyiv, they no longer suddenly receive any information. American intelligence on upcoming Russian attacks As they claim, their access to Elon's Starlink The Starshield-grade mask and system have been restricted. leading to the disabling of their drones and limiting their capabilities Who are the attacks against the Russians? I remind you—they are the aggressors here. And now Elon Musk says all of this is the American government's fault. Mr. Rubio says the Trump administration knows nothing about this matter. Moreover, on Sunday he attempted to mislead the journalists who They are trying to uncover the truth using science. What is happening with Starlink and Starshield? Because Elon Musk said the matter is up to the president Alright, is it Starshield or Starlink? Alright, we're just Alright, yes, I know it's confusing. So Starlink is a commercial product, alright. And he, he, he is being organized and handled as a commercial product. Starguard, on the other hand, is a military defense product, a military weapon. As I said, I mean this is something we use—our army, the United States Army, uses it. It is not available to Ukraine at this moment, and this issue is under discussion. I mean, it's currently under discussion regarding how they intend to use it. No, but did the United States have any connection? As of now, he is not working in Ukraine. Zelenskyy said it was intentional. Alright, I don't know what Zelensky said; I don't know if Zelensky knows what he's talking about. But it wasn't intentional. We had no connection with the matter. No one in the United States is authorized to slow down Starlink speeds. It happened somewhat like that. But as far as I understand, it has been recovered. Returned to what he had been before It happened somewhat like that. You know how these things work. In one minute, a drone loaded with explosives will fly toward Russian territory. In the next minute, the internet signal cuts off and you lose control of it. Who can surely know what lay behind that? Alright It turned out that two reporters at Reuters knew about it. It was mentioned today that the matter of restricting Ukraine's access has arisen. Starkshield issued from inside the White House According to U.S. officials and a Western official who has been briefed on the matter Then there is the issue of purchasing weapons. Suddenly, the system for delivering American weapons to their hands slows down. Ukrainians through European allies and other international partners With Ukraine's current stockpile of vital impediments now depleted This is how Mr. Rubio interpreted it today Nothing is intentionally being rejected by Ukraine The matter is simply a balance between our commitments to other partners. And frankly, our own standards and requirements for our facilities as well. Nothing is deliberately rejected, and of course it is not the same as saying Of course, we refuse nothing to them. As for the exchange of intelligence information, every time The United States fails to provide Ukraine with information. Ukrainian civilians die from upcoming Russian attacks. President Zelensky says their blood is in the hands of the Americans. In India this morning, the foreign minister was shocked—shocked to hear that. I think the important point for you is that there was no Deliberate political directives aimed at harming Ukraine This is simply inaccurate. Even this talk about I think on the thirteenth and eighteenth There were air raids in Ukraine that went unreported. This is not because America did not provide the information. I saw a person connected with the Ukrainian government. He says people in Ukraine are dying. Because the United States withholds information from them This is a disgraceful matter. This is terrible. This is simply incorrect. That is inaccurate. As for there being a problem with the identification There may have been an internal issue. Regarding their ability to receive the provided information, organize it, and deal with it This is possible. We are looking into it. So what is it that remained from what happened on the thirteenth and eighteenth? It was a technical issue. The outcome was not of any kind of American guidance in failing to issue a prior warning of the strike. And we are now issuing them the same warnings we have always provided. Artistic issue I love this phrase because it means a lot to me. I used to work in Moscow. In the original Russian, the phrase is pronounced as Technics Fabros This is what Moscow initially said about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 It was a technical issue with Tiknicheskii Fabros. When election violations occur in Russia under Putin The Kremlin always describes them as technical issues. Investigations into the sudden deaths of critics of Putin Technical issues are often tricky. Hearing the foreign minister repeat a similar statement regarding Trump's decision It is clear that there is a delay in exchanging intelligence information with Ukraine. Even with the risk of civilian casualties Somewhat resembles Washington's arguments that the war against Iran is a military conflict rather than a war. This is another Russian echo, with Putin insisting on his war It is not a war for Ukraine, but a special military operation. Piece by piece Day after day The countries are approaching each other linguistically. So let's watch Marco Rubio and see what happens next.
