there remains little sign of an immediate end to the crisis. it's not the situation we're ah, a deal breaker one way or another. he's in the vision. unfortunately, we have a great disparity in our principled approaches to these us and russia in some ways, ah, have or was it views on what needs to be done? us negotiators trod carefully. they promised they wouldn't be talk of ukraine security without ukraine present. this instead, a chance to air respective concerns and get them measure of russia's true intent with tensions at their highest since the end of the cold war points of dispute between russia and the u. s. are plentiful, but ukraine is perhaps most urgent. russia has supported a separatist conflict there for 8 years now, and the presence of a 100000 russian troops on ukraine's border threatens
3:03 am
a new war in europe. russia wants legal guarantees that ukraine will never become a member of the nato alliance. a demand flatly rejected by western allies. on monday, ukraine's deputy prime minister met the nato secretary general talks with russia will widen on wednesday to include nato members in brussels. and then the o. s. c. e. in vienna, on thursday. what russia is doing is tries to impose its agenda instead of returning to the negotiation table. and we are stated very clearly that we will never compromise on the right for every nation in you'd have to choose his own path, including what kind of security arrangements in one, sir, to be a part of earlier rushes deputy foreign minister said as to the u s had not taken seriously. his country's demand that ukraine never be allowed to join nato. that's an ominous sign by continuing to press what is a solid western red line?
3:04 am
russia may be showing its hand that president may not intend this week of talks to succeed at all, but rather to use them as a pretext for war. jonah, how al jazeera from washington, rosalind jordan has more on how american negotiators reacted to the meeting. wendy sherman's assessment was that to the meetings on monday about 8 hours worth of talks. with the survey ruba coffin, his delegation were useful. they were frank, her language. they were off straight forward again, wendy sherman's language. but she said this wasn't a negotiation. this was really the attempt, she said for the u. s. and for russia to take the measure of each other's concerns . sense of the meeting last summer, between presidents, windermere pollutant and joe biden. now this is a situation where sherman says, the u. s. is very steadfast, that it is opposed to an invasion of ukraine,
3:05 am
although it was not specifically discussed at monday's meeting. she did say that the u. s. is trying to find a way to resurrect the intermediate term missile a treaty, that the u. s. and others say that the russians have broken by station in medium range, missiles around its territory, aimed at western europe. been. she also said that one thing is not going to change the idea that nato is not going to open its membership to countries that want to be members. she said that would be infringing on those countries right? to decide how to conduct their foreign policy. she did say there's a lot of work to do, but this is just the beginning and whether the russians are trying to basically create a situation to justify an invasion of ukraine. she said, well, we'll just have to see what they're actually doing. kimberly martin is a professor political science and bernard college and she says it's good. the sides are talking. but this week's meetings may not too much to lower tensions. it's very
3:06 am
unclear whether these talks will actually have any impact on decision making. i think his decision about what to do in ukraine will have much more to do with a cost benefit analysis of what russia would gain or lose by militarily intervening than it is by how these talks grow. i think that futon is just trying anything that he can to see what might work. but we also have to remember that the background is as a k g b officer. he very much enjoys using deception against his opponents. and so anything that appears to be what he's doing on the surface may not be what his actual intentions are underneath. i think it's significant that russia is meeting. ready with nato once again, because in october of 2021, russia temporarily at least withdrew from the nato russia council. in anger after i think it was 8 russian diplomats had been expelled from the nato group as being
3:07 am
undercover spies. so it's very significant that the talks are actually happening, that in itself is a sign of progress. but i think we should keep in mind that nato has 30 members who have very different interests from each other. and so we should not look at this as being russia nato negotiations, as much as it is just the opening of a conversation that could lead to some kind of arms control arrangement going forward. well, versus presidency, claim victory and defending neighboring catholics. dawn from what he calls a foreign backed uprising, more than 160 people were killed during last week's anti government protests, which turned into the country's worst unrest and recent history. robin forest walker reports from tbilisi for the moscow lead security block, the c s t o, it's 1st real military intervention has been a success president hawkeye of kazakhstan told his counterparts on monday that the
