over the government in kia. and that clearly is not happening at this point. at least, russia has been frustrated militarily. but what the lens he has said in terms of ukraine's confessions, is that he put in the most clear terms to date that he's willing to make ukraine a neutral country. that means not joining nato, not having nuclear weapons on its territory. he's hinted at that before, but he's never come out and say it said it. what he did also say was that he'd have to put this question up to the people of ukraine to put it up to a referendum. and at this point, just talking to ukraine in here on the ground, it doesn't seem clear that they would vote for anything that appeared to give russia concessions. now the dumbass is another question in eastern ukraine. a lot of people speak russian. there are pro russian people, they're living there, and that area has been contested since 2014. so what the lensky said was that will

make that a separate question. those negotiations will happen after a ceasefire in the rest of ukraine is agreed to, and that is a confession in itself to say that we will put off those negotiations until we can resolve a ceasefire here and the rest of ukraine. i mean, as for us and ukraine, malice turned to our attention to some of the other stories that we are following for you. at this hour, amnesty international has accused russia of committing war crimes in ukraine, likening the situation she with actions in the jury and war. the human rights organization denounced rush and deliberate attack on civilian infrastructure in the country. embassy also accused moscow of attorney, humanitarian court or into death trap. ukraine's president, as a lensky has reiterated his calls for the west to provide his country with more planes. tanks and other weaponry was lead. zalinski stressed that countries that aren't supporting ukraine have become complicit in what he calls
