live from london. this is bbc news. russia and the us end their first day of direct talks since moscow invaded ukraine three years ago. marco rubio says the meeting was the first step in a long and difficultjourney. the goal is to bring an end to this conflict in a way that's fair, enduring, sustainable and acceptable to all parties involved. i have every reason to believe that the americn side understands our position, is beginning to understand our position better. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has again emphasised that talks about ukraine must

not happen without them. it is fundamentally important that any talk on the end to the war do not happen behind the backs of the key parties involved. a british couple, arrested in iran while on a motorbike tour, are charged with espionag. they were detained in january. the moment a delta airline plane crash—landed and flipped over on the runway in toronto, all 80 people on board survived. welcome to the programme. at ending moscow's war against ukraine,

after what they called �*constructive talks' in saudi arabia. they were the first face— to—face discussions since russia's full— scale invasion three years ago. there were no ukrainian officials at the talks. the us secretary of state, marco rubio, said the goal was a fair, enduring and sustainable end to the war. we've and sustainable end to the war. agreed on four pri| that we've agreed on four principles that we believe are important, we will point our teams respected work quickly to reestablish the functionality of our respective missions in washington and moscow for us to be or to continue to move down this road, we have deft diplomatic facilities that are operating and functioning normally. the second point is that will appoint a high—level team from our end up negotiate and work through the end of the conflict in ukraine in a way thatis conflict in ukraine in a way that is enduring and acceptable to all the parties engaged. the third point is to begin to work at a high level as well to begin to discuss and think about and examine both the geopolitical and economic cooperation that could result from an end to the conflict in ukraine and obviously, led to

see that be successful and enduring in orderfor that see that be successful and enduring in order for that to be possible in the last thing we agreed to is that while our teams are going to be working on this, the four of us, the five of us that are here today are going to remain engaged in this process to make sure that it is moving along in a productive way. russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, confirmed that russia and the united states agreed to establish a process for settling the ukraine conflict — but took aim at previous us administrations, blaming president biden and nato expansion for causing the conflict. we explained today that, and we noted that president trump in several speeches was the first of western leaders to say that dragging ukraine into nato was one of the main, what is happening, this is one ofjoe biden�*s biggest mistakes of his

administration and with trump as president, that would never happen. president putin has stressed more than once that nato's expansion and ukraine by the north atlantic was a direct threat to the russian federation and to our sovereignty. earlier, i spoke to sergei markov, advisor to president putin. i asked him whether russia refusing to allow nato boots on the ground to maintain peace difficult for the prospects of a future deal. i think russian position is because it is based on the simple fact that a lot of money has been put into the war and doing so would undermine the

peace and security grant is important but security guarantee of ukraine is very simple. ukraine should be back to where it was in 1991 and ukraine was outside nearby russia, it was before the events of 2014. you security guarantee if ukraine is democracy, it is political regime which respects the rights of the people to speak their native language and 70% of ukrainians, this is russian language and it is political freedom for the political party thatis freedom for the political party that is been prohibited by president zelensky. can ijust

say obviously ukrainians deny that characterisation of being nazis. but going back into the history come the key point now is given where we are three years into this conflict, ukraine surely cannot feel secure in any future deal without some sort of forces on the ground to keep it secure in the ground to keep it secure in the future. is the ground to keep it secure in the future-— the future. is your political position. _ the future. is your political position, the _ the future. is your political position, the political- position, the political position, the political position of the government which, _ position of the government which, it_ position of the government which, it is not reality. we don't represent _ which, it is not reality. - don't represent any government, i'm just putting the argument that we have heard from european leaders already that some sort of peacekeeping operation is potentially something that needs to be looked at. something that needs to be looked at— something that needs to be looked at. ., ., ., , ., looked at. position of european leaders should _ looked at. position of european leaders should be _ looked at. position of european leaders should be fully - leaders should be fully ignored. because european leaders, they support war and trying to make obstacles in the

way of peace. russia united states have wanted to create a peaceful condition. european leaders want to continue the war. in the solution is nato is an aggressive military line. nato should not come to the russian border and solutions for ukraine should be democracy. free political prisoners and ukrainian citizens who support the russia and ukraine should be friends and ukraine should be friends and they should be moved from ukrainian prisons to ukrainian parliaments. with more on this, i'm joined by vitaliy shevchenko, russia editor at bbc monitoring: ukrainian leader has cancelled his visit to saudi arabia tomorrow postponing it until

next month they reportedly think he does not want to give legitimacy to the us russian meeting, what are you hearing. what you're hearing in turkey is the original as it was understood was to go to the united arab emirates and saudi arabia and i think he was visibly upset and annoyed and tired. he said look, we've heard about this meeting between the americans and the russians from the media, we were not invited. we, these negotiations need to be fair. but what we do not want is for these negotiations to be carried out behind our backs. that is also a phrase that he used. ,, ., that is also a phrase that he used, ,, ., ., , ., that is also a phrase that he used. ,, ., ., , ., ., used. showing a bit of what he said as well — used. showing a bit of what he said as well and _ used. showing a bit of what he said as well and a _ used. showing a bit of what he said as well and a few- used. showing a bit of what he l said as well and a few moments but realistically, painful as may be for ukraine, the reality is that without us military and financial support,

is that without us military and financialsupport, even financial support, even european leaders financialsupport, even european leaders cannot bolster ukraine's defences even if they want to and politically, it is not necessarily easy, especially for western europe to spend more money on this and raise taxes and cut public spending ulcer. so the deal is inevitable, isn't it? i spending ulcer. so the deal is inevitable, isn't it?— inevitable, isn't it? i think that's the _ inevitable, isn't it? i think that's the main _ inevitable, isn't it? i think that's the main reason - inevitable, isn't it? ithink| that's the main reason why inevitable, isn't it? ithink- that's the main reason why he looked so unhappy. if you look at the numbers over the past three years, european nations and european institutions have actually given ukraine a bit more than america did. military, financial, but it from american aid is suspended completely, will the eu be able to afford to ramp up their spending to replace what america is not giving and be, as you said come they have the political will to do that and president zelensky said in a news conference in turkey

that's notjust america that doesn't want us to that's notjust america that doesi also nt us to that's notjust america that doesi also some :o that's notjust america that doesi also some european there also some european countries were no countries such as hungary and slovakia, they are friendlier towards moscow than most of the other european nations and here's the mood in turkey, it's so different from what we saw in saudi arabia when the americans talk to the russians about smiles and one phrase sticks in my mind, the kremlin�*s foreign policy adviser, emerging from the talks, it was asked by russian media, how did it go? and he said, not bad, not bad. inc. you very much indeed. by by make your speaking at a news conference because he had just been meeting the turkish

president who hosted that conference. it president who hosted that conference.— president who hosted that conference. , ., ., , conference. it is fundamentally important _ conference. it is fundamentally important that _ conference. it is fundamentally important that talks _ conference. it is fundamentally important that talks about - conference. it is fundamentally important that talks about the | important that talks about the end of the war do not have been behind the backs of the parties involved that are affected by the consequences of russian aggression. and in the broader sense, europe, turkey and great britain must be involved in the talks and in working out the necessary security guarantee together with america that concerns our destiny and are part of the world. turkey has played a role as a broker in turkey has played a role as a broke ,.. broker in the full-scale invasion _ broker in the full-scale invasion and _ broker in the full-scale invasion and numerousj broker in the full-scale - invasion and numerous round of prison exchanges and brokered the black sea grain initiative. in that sense, it

is natural for president zelensky to pay a visit where he might hope to gain more political and diplomatic support from the turkish president who has been serving as a mediator which both of said that they are looking for a just peace for the end of this conflict between ukraine and russia. president erdogan also said that turkey is reaffirming its support for ukraine hospitals territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence when asked directly by a ukrainian said these are must—have for turkey in any future peace talks that are going to happen. let's show you a shot from a press conference that is due to start in toronto and we are expecting to hear from the airport which on the crash of the delta airlines flight in toronto and we will go to that
