till little squad and all of us. it is difficult but important because any war ends in an agreement, meetings continue as i am told, the position in the negotiation, sam, more realistic. however, it still needs to be more time for decisions to be in ukraine's interest, guys than you are a he live with us citizens of russia. any of you who have access to truthful information should understand this war will enter your country in shame and poverty . among counties and even he has more on the talks ceiling here in ukraine amongst the some of the people that i've been speaking to of i text message over the last couple of hours. what people have been saying is why's roster. talking about these wider, big issues. there's a war happening right now. this russian occupation of our cities happening error code keep has been you know, bombarded it's, it's, it's, it's a destroyed city on the outskirts of keep our apartment blocks are being

shelled like, why are they talking about these white issues like sanctions, why they talking about this big issue when the real issue is to have a ceasefire, get the russians to withdraw. so there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between our what ukrainians weren't ukrainian. people are political on this. i would like to be seen talked about publicly and what the russians are talking about publicly. but the fact is, the simple fact is, these talks a in a 3rd day now, and we're also hearing that they're in subcommittees. now they're not just talking between the 2 main part main parties, either divided into subcommittees, isa committees, and they're asking out the nitty gritty of what any kind of agreement could be. could our agreement come in the next 24 hours? could it come out today? we're not entirely sure there was talk of a joint statement a couple of days ago that never happened or, and let say i got the letters from dor center barrow, who is joining us from moscow to tell us what the russians are saying about the

ongoing talks with the ukrainians at any potential for a compromise. well the russian for miss or certainly love rob says that they are agreeing to about the wording of the security guarantees that rushes looking for between this 2 sides it appears that they have made some headway about those ag security guarantees under close to finalizing the wording of an agreement on that front. we've also been hearing from the head of the russian delegation that's been leading the talks with ukraine vladimir minsky. he's been shedding some light into the details of exactly what they're discussing at the moment. he said that they are discussing the future of ukraine's army. according to him, a kia has put forth a proposal that would see their army become something similar to that of the swedish or austrian model. and that means that they would have an army and a navy, but they would not have any foreign basis. and that's according to the russian

officials. and also they're discussing the size of that army, how big it would be and, and the russian, a negotiator also said that they're also discussing the issue of sanctions. this is the 1st time we're hearing that possibly any kind of an agreement between russia and ukraine. would really include the possibility of lifting those at western sanctions at this countries with put in place under, over the past few weeks, which has been tremendous. and they are saying that it's now economic war that's been waged on russia. but what is outstanding still, and it's not clear, is the future of crimea, which russia annexed in 2014, as well as those separatist regions in eastern ukraine in dumbass. those are the points they're still being discussed and it appears that they have not made much headway on that, but as a whole they will continue discussing at these issues on a daily basis. now they move from a person to person discussion format to video conference because that is more

practical for all sides. and it saves them a lot of time, which means that they are able to speak to each other and continue this discussion on a daily basis until they're able to read some kind of an agreement. ok, thank you so much. sources, rory reporting from moscow, ukraine's interior minister says 20000 people have managed to get out of the besieged city of mario for using a humanitarian court or that safe passage stretches more than 200. 60 kilometers is upper richer, which is ukrainian held territory, but ukraine's deputy prime minister says a convoy with supplies for murder pole is stuck in nearby bridge young sc. and she's also question the safety of some of those corridors and accused russian forces of occupying a hospital in marion poll, holding 400 people, including staff and patient hostage. when the torah font is a hopefully yesterday they captured the emergency hospital and took 400 people hostage, medics and mary po. they are shooting from inside the hospital. it is
