signaled that he is ready to accept that his country will not join nato ukraine ruling out of future membership of the west in military alliance has been one of vladimir putin's key demands in the run up to the invasion grima. ukraine is not a member of nato. me. we understand that we're and people on you, but we've heard for years that the doors were open. but we also heard that we could not join the truth and it must be recognised. but i'm glad that our people are beginning to understand this and rely on themselves under partners who are helping us diploma. and earlier i asked christine ben siena from the german marshall fund, what impact this admission from flooded media lensky would have. it's an important step for president one ski to say politically that explicitly that he understands that this is not right. ukraine will will have. and what it wants to have right now

for the lunch, he has been saying similar things in the last last week or so and various interviews. but it requires a policy change in ukraine. and in order to, to set aside the potential for nato membership was equally important though, is a, whether this is something that president putin still finds to be the most important detail and to be what europe is going to offer, rather than nato membership to ride security guarantees and to provide a sense of belonging to ukraine after this horrible struggle and brutal war against russia on the side. the question is, does couldn't really want to focus on nato and you create not being and they don't, or has he now separating these losses. this is very difficult, white. hi casualty rate. does you want to take all of ukraine? not just when the nato question gets,

joined nato. nato should look at these countries and say, what do we need to position there are to our plans from post 2014 good enough. looking at the kind of war effort that russia is putting forth and ukraine in 2022 . what should they have given ukraine? before this invasion, so that this happened that night before thinking about kind of increase in the port is what should be on the table. that was the german marshal funds, christine both seen speaking to me earlier. well, 2 journalists working for the usa network fox news have been killed in ukraine, camera men. pierre stuck his epsky here at the front of this picture and ukrainian producer alexandra cove. she never died when the vehicle they were travelling in outside of ki, came under fire folks. news said another reporter, it's been hospitalized, at least for journalists, have died covering the conflict since it began
