Chuck Todd: ‘Trump believes in the rules of the jungle'
Veteran broadcaster Chuck Todd painted President Trump's diplomacy as a belief 'in the rules of the jungle' as Trump ups pressure on Russia and Ukraine to end the more than three-year-long war in Eastern Europe. 'Donald Trump believes in the rules of the jungle, the bigger are in charge, the smaller have to — even if you're — even if you have the moral ground, doesn't matter, you don't have — you don't have the strength here,' Todd said Tuesday on CNN's 'The Arena' with host Dana Bash. 'So, this is a case where I think this is why some people — while we all may — people may have mistaken his support of Russia in some sort of nefarious way when it's —- he just views it as well, 'Russia and China are the big people, and we have to deal with them differently than you do the others,' which doesn't sit well with people that believe in constitutional republics,' the former 'Meet the Press' host said. His comments come days after Trump met with the Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky separately. On Friday, he traveled to Alaska for his first face-to-face meeting with Putin since his first term in office. While few details were revealed about the conversation, Trump said the two made 'progress' in their talks, but no deal was reached. On Monday, he welcomed Zelensky and European leaders to the White House, where they discussed potential security guarantees. The Ukrainian leader said earlier this week that they discussed 'many issues' at the meeting and touted 'important negotiations' that were taking place. Russia said Wednesday that any talks around potential Western security guarantees for Ukraine as part of a wider peace deal to end the war are a 'road to nowhere' unless they are a part of the discussions. 'We cannot agree with the fact that it is now proposed to resolve collective security issues without the Russian Federation. This will not work,' Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during a press conference. 'We have already explained more than once that Russia does not overstate its interests, but we will ensure our legitimate interests firmly and harshly,' he added. While a trilateral meeting between Zelensky, Putin and Trump has been floated, the president said the two should meet first.

Poland calls a drone crash in the country's east a Russian provocation amid peace talks
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland's defense minister said that a flying object that crashed and exploded in a cornfield in eastern Poland early Wednesday was identified as a Russian drone, calling it a provocation by Russia. At a news conference in Warsaw, Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz accused Russia of provoking NATO during a crucial moment, as peace talks over the war in neighboring Ukraine are underway, the country's news agency PAP reported. 'Russia is provoking us once again,' Kosiniak-Kamysz said, just as peace talks have given hope that the war 'has a chance of ending.' Police said they received reports of the crash around 2 a.m. and found burned metal and plastic debris at the scene, near the village of Osiny. The blast broke windows in some nearby houses, but nobody was injured, PAP reported. Poland's Armed Forces Operational Command said Wednesday on social media that no violations of Polish airspace from neighboring Ukraine or Belarus were recorded overnight. Officials initially said the explosion may have been caused by a part of an old engine with a propeller. Lublin District Prosecutor Grzegorz Trusiewicz told reporters several investigators — both civilian and military — were examining the crash site. Since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago, there have been a number of intrusions into Polish airspace, raising alarm in the European Union and NATO member state and reminding people how close the war is.

How US defense companies could benefit from Ukraine talks
US President Trump is set to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky and other European leaders at the White House on Monday. Former US ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor joins Market Catalysts to discuss how Trump will likely try to secure commitments from European leaders to buy from US defense companies as part of his negotiation asks. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Catalysts. We obviously know that President Trump is quite transactional in all of these negotiations, whatever, pretty much whatever we're talking about. Um, and I wonder the likelihood that from these European leaders, he will try to secure more concessions in terms of them, perhaps buying US arms to supply to Ukraine, sort of going through them. Um, you know, how does that all fit into this this overall picture? Absolutely right, Julie, and he's basically got that. Um, he has President Trump has agreed, um, that the that we, the United States and defense firms will sell, US defense firms will sell weapons to the Europeans, the the NATO allies in Europe for them to provide to the Ukrainians. Uh, so that and that's a change actually. That's a that's a a policy definition, specification that hadn't we hadn't seen before. So that's a good thing. Europeans are ready to step up. They've committed a lot more money. Uh, there's even more money, Julie, sitting in Russian money that could be seized, um, in in Western banks, uh, that could be used uh, to perk for the Ukrainians to buy weapons from US manufacturing, US defense firms to be able to defend themselves against the Russians. So there's that that is uh, that mechanism you described is in place and and going to move forward.
