Ukraine peace talks take MAJOR turn as Putin signals movement

PRE-WAR LEVELS, THAT IS PRETTY. IMPRESSIVE. IN EUROPE, RUSSIAN PRESIDENT. PUTIN WILLING TO RESUME TALKS. PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY TELLS US HE. IS OPEN TO. COMYSELF. >> Brian: WOULD YOU ACCEPT A. PEACE DEAL THAT FREEZES. EVERYTHING THE WAY IT IS RIGHT. NOW, YOU KEEP 75% OR MORE OF. YOUR COUNTRY REGARDLESS OF HOW. IT STARTED, WOULD YOU ACCEPT. WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW?

>> YES, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO. FREEZE AND I THINK THIS IS REAL. WAY TO END THIS WAR. WE CALL THIS -- PRESIDENT TRUMP. CALLED IT, FREEZE AND STOP. AND OF COURSE, THIS ISSIN M MUM. WHAT WE NEED FROM RUSSIA TODAY. THEN OF COURSE WE'LL GO TO. PRESIDENT AND TO EUROPEAN AND. ASK SECURITY GUARANTEES. >> Brian: WILL THEY GET THEM? FORMER TRUMP NATIONAL SECURITY. ADVISOR KT KT McFARLAND JOINS US.

NOW. WITHIN NEXT FEW WEEKS THEY PLAN. TO HAVE TRILATERAL TALKS. YOU WORKED FOR HENRY KISSINGER, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS, WHERE. ARE WE AT? >> EVERYBODY IS SIGNALLING, ZELENSKYY TALKS TO YOU IN A. HUGELY IMPORTANT INTERVIEW, FIRST TIME HE SAID HE WOULD. ACCEPT A PEACE DEAL NOT ORIGINAL. POINT WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE. ORIGINAL UKRAINE BORDER OR LAST.

SUMMER, MAYBE WE CAN FREEZE, HE. BASICALLY TOLD YOU THAT IS THE. DEAL HE WOULD ACCEPT. SAME TIME RUSSIA SIGNALLING, PUTIN RELEASES AN AMERICAN. PRISONER, WANTED HIM BACK FOR. FOUR YEARS. THEY ARE BOTH SIGNALLING THEY. WANT TO TALK AND ONE GUY WHO CAN. BRING THEM TO THE TABLE AND. DONALD TRUMP. I POINT OUT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP. TOOK A LOT OF HEAT IN THE FIRST. TERM, SECOND TERM ABOUT WHY. WOULD DONALD TRUMP NOT BAD MOUTH. PUTIN, WHY WOULD HE NOT CALL.

PUTIN A WAR CRIMINAL. TRUMP. KNEW HE WAS ONLY ONE THAT COULD. NEGOTIATE BETWEEN THE TWO. PUTIN IS A PROUD MAN, IF TRUMP. SAID TERRIBLE THINGS ABOUT. PUTIN, HE WOULD BE LESS LIKELY. TO TRUST HIM IN NEGOTIATION. COULD WE HAVE PEACE DAY AFTER. TOMORROW? NO. FOR THE FIRST TIME, COULD HAVE A. BREAK IN THIS LOG JAM, LOOKING. LIKE MEAT GRINDER OF WORLD WAR.

I. >> Brian: THEYUN WA SECURITY. GUARANTEES, UKRAINE, THEY WANT. FRENCH, BRITISH ON THE DPROUN. AND OVER TOP FROM THE U.S., THAT. SEEM TO BE NO GO VLADAMIR PUTIN. AND VLADAMIR PUTIN WANTS DONBAS. AND THAT IS NO GO FOR. UKRAINIANS. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GET PAST. THAT. YOU PROBABLY DO. >> WAY YOU COULD GET PAST BOOT. SAYS ON THE GROUND, AMERICAN, FRENCH, EUROPEAN TO PROTECT. UKRAINE. IF UKRAINE HAS ECONOMIC. RELATIONSHIPS WITH, I THINK THE.

WORLD INVEST IN REBUILDING OF. UKRAINE. IF YOU HAVE 20, 30-YEAR ECONOMIC. DEAL WITH UKRAINE, ANY COUNTRY, ANY COMPANY, THAT IS IMPLICIT. SECURITY GUARANTEE. WE'LL NOT SPEND MONEY IF THAT. PLACE IS GOING TO GO TO WAR. I AM NOT AS CONCERNED WITH THAT, YOU COULD HAVE GUARANTEES IN. PUTIN'S DIRECTION, TOO. THIS IS FIRST MOVEMENT IN ENTIRE. WAR THAT COULD MAKE AN END TO. THE WAR. >> Brian: AND THE PRESIDENT.

RECOGNIZE IT, VILLAINIZING PUTIN. DOES NOT WORK FOR ANYBODY. 2500 PROTESTERS ARRESTED IN. FRANCE AND EXPECTING MORE. VIOLENCE. PRESIDENT MACRON HASAS HARSH WOS. FOR FOREIGN CRITICS. >> FOR ME, NO FOREIGN. INTERFERENCE IN EVENTS THAT TOOK. PLACE, THERE WAS FOREIGN. MANIPULATION OF INFORMATION, YES, THAT GAVE RISE TO. UNACCEPTABLE AND STUPID COMMENT. FROM MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING.

FOREIGN LEADERS. >> Brian: HE SAID FOREIGN. LEADERS HATE FRANCE, MEANING. PRESIDENT TRUMP HATES FRANCE. HE'S NEVER SAID THAT. HE IS RELUCTANT TO SAY THERE ARE. FOREIGN FORCES THERE AND. IMMIGRATION PROBLEM. >> FIRST OF ALL, THE GO TO IS TO. BLAME TRUMP FOR EVERYTHING. THIS IS TRUMP'S FAULT SOMEHOW. LOOK AT WHO IS PROTESTING, YOUNG. MILITARY AGE MUSLIM MEN WHO HAVE. BEEN LET INTO COUNTRIES WITH.

OPEN BORDER POLICIES AND THEY. ARE CAUSING PROBLEMS. STRAIN ON SOCIAL SERVICES, DISRUPTION OF CIVIL ORDER, CULTURAL CLASH, THERE DOES NOT. SEEM TO BE AN END IN SIGHT. THERE IS NO PLAN TO FIX THIS. >> Brian: KT McFARLAND, THANK. YOU VERY MUCH. THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT HIGH. SCHOOL, PRETTY SURE IT I.
