and the president of european parliament david cecily has died. he was 65 ah, us and russian diplomats have wrapped up the 1st meetings in a week of diplomacy aimed at d escalating if the tensions on ukraine's border. moscow has spent the last few months gathering its forces on ukraine's eastern flank, raising phase about an invasion. but moscow once guarantees that nato will not accept any new members, and that the ukraine will be not allowed to join the military alliance journal reports. it is an achievement of sorts. the talks between russia and the united states in geneva didn't end in failure. they were never likely to be a major success. but while russia insisted it had no intention of invading ukraine, 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 principal 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 a 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 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 have that 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 stood 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? 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 jona whole alpha 0. kimberly martin's a professor political science have been on college. she says it's good that the 2 sides talking, but this week's meetings may not do much to low attentions. it's very 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 put in 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 benito group as being 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. ross's president, his claim victory in defending neighboring cause. exxon from what he calls a foreign backed uprising on the 160 people were killed during last week's anti government protest, which turned into the country's worst unrest in recent history. robin forest walker reports from tbilisi for the moscow lead security block,
