7:03 am
i think the ukrainians did everything to deny almost all the positions that. so let me go sheets as we're promoting as kind of positive because they said that while any agreement was a subject of referendum, so frankly, i don't think we shall trash into the conclusions right now. in turkey, russian officials promised to scale back bombing of keys and also shown a he today our colleagues on the ground are reporting more shelling. can we trust russia? what i heard from negotiations and key if was that we were scaling down our military activity. and some people work week enough to assume that we are withdrawing from key adventure niga, which is not the case. it was kind of regrouping. and the military of defense confirmed this that we,

7:06 am
trying to get him to capitulate. things like shopping that ambition to join nato. possibly even the u despite they said that's ok. i think when it comes to putting aside the membership, that is something that will not bring ukrainians out onto the streets. but when you demand things like calling crimea russian territory for perpetuity or the don't boss that will be something that will get ukrainians are on the on to the streets in big numbers. he's a very, very tight spot right now. i don't envy him, but he's going to have to navigate this bird carefully and quickly. there's been no light up in russia strikes on car cave. a 3rd of the population has managed to escape, but thousands are still trapped. the merest has nowhere is safe. i'll de 0 as i said, big got rear access to a special police unit, patrolling the city or peeve burns at night on this number.
