moscow still sticking to its demands that nato should not allow membership to ukraine. above a former soviet states, a blanket reiterated the position of the u. s. and its european allies. but those demands cannot be met. based on our discussion, i believe we can carry forward this work of developing understanding agreements together that ensure arnett, our mutual security. but that's contingent on russia stopping its aggression toward ukraine. so that's the choice that russia faces. now, you can choose the path of diplomacy that can lead to peace and security, or the path that will lead only to conflict, severe consequences and international condemnation. but mom would love to live at the end of our meeting. we agreed that next week the u. s. is going to present us with written answers to all of our proposals. and you also said in particular that ukraine represents no threats to russia. and i would like to once again remind everyone who analyzes our public statements that never before has russia threatened

the ukrainian pupils? our white house correspondent kimberly hallett joins us now live from washington. kimberly the talks for frank and business like, according to the secretary of state, nothing was resolved, but it looks like they are going to continue to tour. what's the u. s. strategy here? well, the u. s. strategy is to kind of let this simmer for a few days. they want to see what russia will do in terms of responding to the proposals that have been put forward by antony blank. and russia for its part is looking for some sort of written response by the united states. we know that antony blinkin wants to speak with the national security council back here in washington. so presumably that process will play out. now the u. s. president joe biden, for his part, was just speaking in front of reporters reporters attempted to ask him about russia

. he acknowledged that they had questions, but walked away from the microphones instead of answering. so it's clear he does not want to speak before. there has been an opportunity to chew over what has happened in the this meeting that has taken place with the u. s. secretary of state and his russian counterpart survey. laugh rob, what we do know from the u. s. president joe biden press conference earlier this week. or middle of the week is that he believes, given the fact that russia has positioned more than a 100000 troops along the border with ukraine, is that lot of putin is likely to challenge the west to test, to do some sort of invasion, antony blake and saying today that the united states has intelligence that has seen that they've seen the plans. they believe this is going to happen. they've seen on social media the uptake, the sort of the sort of the setting the table if you will for this to happen. so

this is what they expect, but they believe there is this narrow window of opportunity to try and bring this down to bring the temperature down. so in the words of the secretary of state, russia really has the opportunity. the ball is in their court. according to the united states, there's the opportunity for diplomacy, or d escalation, or russia can pay the price in the eyes of the west. should it choose to invade ukraine. the preference of the united states in the west is that it chooses the escalation and whitehouse correspond. kimberly, how could reporting live from washington? kimberly many things in yemen, more than 70 people were killed in an air strike that had a temporary detention center who the rebels say. the saudi led coalition struck the facility and saw the province. the area is a who the strong hold rescue operations are underway to try to find survivors who may be buried under the rubble. well, there were also airstrikes targeting demons, port, city hood data. at least 4 people were killed there and 17 wounded. who the rebels
