have passed since this bridge was destroyed in fighting and the people it's in need are still clambering over its makeshift replacement thousands of them every day the separatists say they want the bridge rebuilt as it was wide enough for a tank to pass the ukrainian army counters insisting instead on a narrow replacement. nina securing co is one of the civilians living with the consequences of their failure to agree she and her husband anatoly live in separate is controlled territory but her pension and the medicines nina depends on can only be connected from the government to health side so once a month they cross the front line each visit is an ordeal. that's now been the most valuable lesson i was scared all the time on the bridge what would have happened if someone had tripped while carrying me i had to take a tranquilizer video more we should finish with. nina didn't get
3:16 pm
a chance to elect ukraine's president to vote she would have had to make several additional trips across the front line but she couldn't be happier with the result . if you do what you would you people are impatient we were waiting for the elections our hopes were so high i cried when i saw the landscape inauguration i just want this all to end as soon as possible and for peace to return nino was a baker until a failed operation put her in a wheelchair she now receives a pension worth approximately 50 euros half of which she spends on nappies and drugs she called back home in the separatist controlled side. it's over 30 degrees and most people here have to wait several hours just to pass the ukrainian checkpoint. fatalities and the rarity of these cures is the stress
3:17 pm
and the heat take their toll on the old and the sick. of being in a wheelchair i mean it gets priority. but when we leave the room in bridge still lies ahead of us. from the beginning ordinary people have had enough of this war we're all just grieving for the normal lives we had before this couple not my nature is new. report from a colleague who joins us now from kier where the meeting between the e.u. and ukraine's new government is to take place welcome nic what can we expect today . good afternoon phil well 1st of all this is fundamentally about getting to know each other he hasn't been in office that long and these leaders haven't met in person for any length of time so this was very much about spending more time together yesterday taking the president european council to that bridge we featured in the reports and it's showing him showing off his efforts to try and bring
3:18 pm
tensions down this has been something that has been quite successful locally there those 1st positions positions being drawn back but this is very localized 202050 kilometers down the front line other direction the shooting continues but this is also about a show of unity there's been growing fear here in ukraine that after 5 years of war the europeans are growing tired of supporting ukraine all growing tide of taking economic losses over there sanctions against russia recently you'll remember the council of europe readmitted russia to its parliamentary assembly despite the fact that russia had done nothing to change its behavior nothing to get rid of the reasons for those sanctions being initially brought in so there was real fear here that. the europeans were basically in a hurry to do a deal with russia and get rid of this problem i spoke to. in friday this is what he had to say. i really hope that going forward we'll see real
3:19 pm
deeds and not just words of support for ukraine but. what else can we do. if we want to end this war by diplomatic means which we really want to do we have no other options. i hope that the other side will not undermine the measures we've already agreed to. the other side he's talking there about russia of course president. today that he's willing to meet russian president vladimir putin what should we make of the. well phil he. literally said to vladimir putin this video message we need to have a chat with this casual is that another example of. breaking with a diplomatic convention that if you look into the real small print of this it isn't quite as big a gesture as it sounds he says he wants to have president trump there. even to
3:20 pm
resume a so this isn't the one to one diplomacy that the russians have maybe been hoping for i think this is important for him he needs to show that he is taking the initiative here this has been the big lots of ukrainian voters we have a parliamentary election here in a couple weeks time have pinned on him that he will really think outside the box and really take risks to bring peace there are parties here in ukraine who are friendlier to russia than he is and so he is kind of torn between those policies those sentiments on the one hand wanting to make a deal with russia and the other side of public opinion that says any kind of deal with russia will be basically a betrayal of ukraine soldiers so he's in a very difficult situation and he's decided to take the lead with that kind of the docs move whether or not we'll see vladimir putin turning up to those talks i think it's pretty unlikely given his habit of not really reacting to these kind of challenges and his refusal to really accept as an equal that's been
3:21 pm
