it gets back to its tourist. after 2 years of top restrictions, we'd meet some of the families reuniting at the airport. and in the bonus, lee of the battle of the bruce's turns into a rain soaked goal 1st with dorkins, marco royce, haunting his former club. ah . hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. yes, present, joe biden, and russian president vladimir putin have accepted the proposal in principle to hold a summit aimed at diffusing tensions over ukraine. as, according to the office of the french president manual, my call, who held a lengthy phone call with putin on sunday. the white house says the talks won't happen if russia invades ukraine. something moscow says it has no intention of doing. the spite movement on the diplomatic front,

russia and bell roost had decided to extend military drills that were supposed to end. on sunday. russia extending military maneuvers with belarus near the ukrainian border to the united states. it's a sign that moscow is showing no interest in deescalate, in the crisis. despite that french president emanuel mac raw raised hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough. he spoke to vladimir putin on sunday in 2 phone calls that last it almost 3 hours. he said the russian president agreed on the need to favor a diplomatic solution to the ongoing crisis and to do everything to achieve one. but the u. s. is skeptical. secretary of state antony blink and maintains that russia is on the verge of invading ukraine is all logic. everything we're seeing tells us that the decision we believe present pollutants may to,

to invade is moving forward. we've seen that with of provocations created by the russians are separate his forces over the weekend, false flag operations. now the news suggest of this morning that the quote unquote exercises russia was engaged in belarus with 30000 russian forces that were supposed to end this weekend will now continue the weekend of mixed messages and power plays was paralleled by memorial events and t of commemorating the victims of the might on square protests in 2014 and on this day there was a turn in the history. the people who died here are our heroes. and we have to remember them. the theme done with it, but for the purpose, we need to remember that people gave their lives for ukraine and for our european future, we need to respect and to love it. back then dozens were killed during protests

that out. did ukraine's pro russian back president 8 years later. the people here don't want to seem more conflict. a spring in our corresponding mathias bullying and now he joins us from cremmit tossed in eastern ukraine when 2 years you've been traveling around the front line in east in ukraine. tell us what you've seen selling has intensified in all these villages around the and around the line and for many people that was a shock because the last past few years has been have been occasion of shillings or occasional gunfire. but most of the time, people could live their lives quietly there. and this has changed during the day and especially during the night people here now shelling, it's not very clear where this is targeted as often it's just flies into nowhere.

but it also hits the villages and towns along the border. so the tensions are high and the people are afraid of being hit by something. but here's how is ukraine responding to the shelling in that part of the country? that's a good question. the ukranian army maintains that they are restrained, that they restrain from, from firing back, that they will only fire back if their own security. the security of the soldiers is under threat by these showings, and that there will refrain. of course, the other side says something different. it's very hard to verify at this point. the o. s. c emission has are fixated showings on both sides. there is a chance of talks between joe biden and vladimir putin later this week, as i'm sure you know, do you get the impression that ukrainians believe a diplomatic solution is still possible?

i think many people year hope for some kind of a peaceful solution. however, of course, the biggest problem is that any solution that might satisfy porch in a would give him let that would be one that gives them leverage over ukraine, and that is something most ukrainians are not ready to accept any a signature by a ukrainian official by a ukrainian president under a document that says that ukraine or refuses to join the nato or that ukraine will agree on the reintegration of these territories on moscow's terms. that would give them a say in the national politics would be usually unpopular and might, would have to fear to be ousted by the people. so the bottom line here for most ukrainians is very clear that the sovereignty and that the future trajectory, ah, a path of, of ukraine are not up for negotiations. and that makes it extremely difficult

because everything that we have seen that has also been proposed maybe by, by other, by negotiators from the west as a possible compromise. what exactly touch on these issues and her that makes it very, very difficult to find a way out here. tears. thank you very much. that was our report about his spelling of their in crime a task eastern ukraine. now cyclic as some of the other stories making headlines around the world to day, the dominican republic has begun building a border wall with its neighbor, haiti. when completed it will cover half the nearly 400 kilometer frontier. the dominican government says the walls will help stop irregular migration as well as smuggling of goods, weapons, and drugs. a failed nigerian air strike is killed and wounded several children in a village neighboring the share. local officials say the attack was a mistake and was targeting armed gangs near the border between the 2 countries.
