a lot. there are conflicting messages coming from washington and cave, about the threat of russian invasion of ukraine. president soleski has cautioned the west against stoking fears of russian military action. he said, war is not imminent. near the border with russia, ukrainian soldiers prepare for the worst. but behind the scenes, a flurry of diplomatic activity races to deescalate tensions. russia insisted it is not seeking war. in a press conference on friday, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, also called for com, saying that panic was causing damage to the economy. pause when we need to establish the economy of our country because of those signals which say that to morrow there will be war. because this signals will send by even respected to leaders of the respected countries a sometimes they are not even using diplomatic language. they sing to morrow is the

war. this means panic on the market plan. i can do financial sector. his comments come hours after a phone call between french president emanuel micron and russian president vladimir putin, in which potent insisted that western responses had not addressed moscow's principal concerns. yet the cold did lead to some progress. the 2 leaders re committed to ease intentions through the normandy format. for way diplomatic talks between germany, russia, ukraine, and france. let's keep our reasons the ukrainian president, welcome to the idea as a step towards calming tensions, the but he also called on russia to prove its claims that it has no intention of invading ukraine. for now, tension on the border remains as high as ever. and as long as the risk of military escalation lingers, the diplomatic dance will continue behind closed doors. and for more on this,

i'm joined by andrew cartoon on the director general of the russian international affairs council. thanks for joining us. after several weeks of talks, now president, booting is insisting that the responses from washington and the west have still not addressed moscow's principal concerns. does that mean russia is now prepared for armed conflict? you think? well, i wouldn't go said that a potential war in the ukraine, the best directly on the responses that up wouldn't get. so from the worst, what ashley is doing at the border with ukraine, they supposed to deter ukraine from taken a military action in don boss a. so i don't think that even if they failed to agree on the non enlargement of nate of that would mean that trash will attack ukraine because makes no sense and attacked on ukraine would not change the native lance of for a potential expansion of these are 2 different sets of issues. so the

america, the russian military build up on the border has nothing to do with preventing nato expansion. is that what you're saying? you're saying there's no connection? absolutely, i think that the russian, the build up will not prevent a native from going eastward. on the contrary, it my 2 eager more activities of nate on the territory, ukraine and i, it will mean that it will generate events which witness time to award. so why should you do that? yeah, well, i guess many people are asking that question just to come to present intrusion as we heard in that report. he met with french president her imagined michael and agreed. there is a need for, for the escalation which many parties involved are saying, could that involve it in your estimation, speaking from moscow and removing some russian troops from the ukrainian border? i hope so. i think that definitely they cannot keep all his troops at the creighton

border forever. that there should be some limits. and i hope that they'll via withdrawal, especially i, if there is a resumption of the means roses, as you probably know of. there was a meeting a couple of days ago meeting of political representatives of the for, for, for residence. and they decided that they would continue a meeting and discussing implications or the i means agreements are for the situation on the ground. so i do quote that we are back on track with means which would be a major accomplishment. and if so, i think the concerns and after the trust that you clean my did wait, don't boss tomorrow will ease and that would make the rush in presence of the euclidean would unnecessary. that was andrew cartoon of from the russian international affairs council in moscow. to kaz extend no wishes reeling after a week of deadly unrest that left more than 200 people dead. the unrest exposed to
