Meetings yesterday with other world leaders from canada and united kingdom, france, others of course capping off with that one-on-one with president biden. his tone changed dramatically now nato allies did create security measures, security guarantees for ukraine that the g7 nations and a few others are going to hop in as well committed to more funding to support ukraine s not just military effort but rebuilding. after the meeting with president biden i was able to ask president zelenskyy that was enough, that he had been so frustrated, was he now feeling better about things and he was. it was a tentative yes. certainly the goal was to get ukraine into the alliance sooner rather than later, but zelenskyy said he was satisfied. and i asked president biden about the status of that counter offensive which of course is shadowing this entire summit real questions about how it s going for ukraine as they attempt to regain territory in ....
And he understood ukraine couldn t come into nato while affectively at war with russia because that would trigger nato jumping in as well. it was still a tricky path forward especially because at least initially ukraine s counter offensive, pretty slow going. yeah, and we don t know what the time line would look like for ukraine to join. there s some hesitation about, you know, what is the end of the war. is it when crimea is no longer annexed by russia? like, what does it look like to be at the end of a very messy war right now? and then lastly the speech last night which is sort of seen as the center piece and it s sort of an easy one for many e any american president to go to a former soviet state and preach about democracy. there s 10,000 people there the white house tells us and certainly a pretty raucous crowd. but that message how does this white house sort of translate that into action, pledging to keep support for ukraine growing when the rumbles back home from ....

Contrast and one i m glad you bring up enzbecause, look, as y mention president biden is in helsinki this morning welcoming the newest member of nato. and finland joined last year. that was a move that doubled the alliance s border with russia. today we re going to watch the president participate in the u.s. nordic leaders summit. then he ll hold a news conference with the finish president. all that before heading back here to the washington. the trip meant to show nato s expanding power and influence against russian president vladimir putin. but biden s visit as jonathan was mentioning marks a stark contrust to donald trump s trip five years ago this week. then president trump famous lay stood by putin and defended the president s denials of election interference going against the findings of u.s. intelligence in full view of the world and on the world stage. president biden, though, meanwhile wrapped up the nato summit in lithuania yesterday with a speech alt vilnius university. in t ....
