i understand it's impossible to force russia completely from ukrainian territory. it would lead to a 3rd world war line, i understand it, and that is why i'm talking about a compromise. go back to where it all began and then we will try to solve the dumbass issues, the complicated dumbass issues. let's go to a so said he was now live for us in is stumble russell. this is round to attempt to some form of diplomacy in the russia ukraine war in a stumble. what are we expecting from these talks? well, yesterday there has been a phone call between turkish president, reject a bad one, and the russian president vladimir putin. and they have agreed to hold their next round of the talks in this stumbling turkey. and now today we are expecting the delegations to arrive, the russian delegation is expected to arrive afternoon and the ukrainian delegation as well. however, it's not hum to persons certain whether the tours are going to start today or

tomorrow in the morning. when we talk to the turkish officials. they say that the success of the piece falls in turkey. a very much depends on their negotiating parties. flexibility, russia has some tough conditions for the peace deal to move forward, such as neutrality of ukraine. demilitarization denotes vacation and also ukraine to recognise crime, yet officially as a part of russia, and also recognize the independence of the separate estate at eastern ukraine. la hans and don, yet, turkish official says that regarding the neutrality and did the militarization of ukraine ukrainian side is showing a villainous to make some of the concessions. however, ukrainian side is emphasizing that if it declares wishlist neutrality, which means not pursuing the goal of being and natal member in return, they are asking for security guarantees from companies such as turkey and france.

but the turkish officers also say that when it comes with the notification, it's quite an unclear, uncertain terms. because it's very more difficult actually to that to understand what a russian side means by domestication. who is nazis and who is not. and when it comes to recognition of crimea, as part of russia and the recognizable also the that, that, that separates the state republics, don't yes, and laws is directly above the territorial integrity of ukraine and took his bow. official says that you paint so far did not show any willingness of accepting these 2 terms. love over turkey is becoming a viable option for negotiation, both for russian side and ukrainian side as turkey, steel and mutual stay and keeping good relations with a boy key of and, and moscow. and you know, now the trick share spirit still open to the russian flies dead, the russian or the gosh, or mout welcomed in turkey. the gas a gas export is stealing,

police trade is in place. and both ukrainian or russian leadership have repeatedly said that they appreciate turkey's balanced position, forgotten, ukrainian, or russian crisis. as i said, the, the officials here in on cut up this say that they are not expecting any yamuna b, o, or any breakthrough. however, it's the success of the deal that, that the piece thought mostly depends on how much the part is. negotiation parties are going to show a flexibility or so we'll set it up for us in a stumble. thank you. or we had it from our correspondent, the mayor of mario paul says, the city is on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe, and must be completely evacuated about a $160000.00 civilians. a tramp that without power, food or water. russian forces have surrounded the posts as a much of which has been destroyed after fierce bombardment, equate as accusing russian soldiers of blocking safe passage for civilians who want

but also i believe substance talk us through the importance of the summit. wow. you know, we are certainly some, some symbolism the, the fact that this isn't happening in jerusalem. i think his instructive a given that sir, israel, of course, claims jerusalem as it's capital at something that is not recognized by the arab states, even the ones with which it has normalized. and so we're here instead in the southern negative in the kibbutz where the 1st prime minister of israel retired to and we are expecting possibly all certainly some of the foreign ministers very shortly to go to visit the grave of david ben gurian with the current israeli foreign minister, yeah, lockheed in terms of the substance though this has been put together, we understand pretty quickly capitalizing on the presence of the secretary of state, antony lincoln and the region. so they're bringing these, these full foreign ministers into this round table with him as well. as that this

is also about regional security. they say trying to set up a new regional security architecture. a lot of this is really to do with iran and the fact that israel very publicly and certainly there is a similar feeling elsewhere in the region as well. on the part of these are states that sir, the joint or the j. c. p. o, a, the iran nuclear deal should not be revived, which is the current u. s. policy. israel is very concerned about that that will guarantee them on revolutionary god called being taken off of its her perilous service as well as being an opportunity to show the normalized relations with these arab states. it's an opportunity for all of them to try to persuade anthony blankenberg of their case perfectly well. now, of course the meeting take place against the backdrop of the ukraine. a war to what extent is that going to come up? the po, by a sinner that will, i think it will come out to some extent. certainly lincoln has been talking about israel's policy on that a praising it for it supports, but there's also some tension in terms of israel,

not being very full in what's criticism of russia. that's something that's likely to also have a very low profile here though is the palestinian question. as far as the api, a president and pillar leader, a mock, what our boss is concerned. he says this is a harsh attack on the palestinians. the fight. this is happening with we're about, you know, the sorts of countries that in the past have been very supportive of the palestinian cause on the 20th anniversary, very close to the 20th anniversary of the arab piece initiative, which said there could be no normalization with israel by arab countries until there was a solution to the palestinian question, a settlement of the israel palestinian conflict, has also been very sharp criticism. those coming from a hamas in garza as well. so it's likely that 70 the that the policy question will be brought up. but the preponderance of what's going on here, that the key point of this is really about why the foreign policy questions and both israel and these for normalized state seems to be pretty happy to,
