results. but the mood after this round appeared cautiously optimistic. music i let in the most significant progress since the beginning of the talk summer was made. today the ukrainian delegation said it is prepared to accept neutral status and not to host foreign military within its borders. this prompted a promising response from the russian side. they had that issue, the russian defense ministry has made the important decision to decrease military activity. several fold in the direction of cave and shanna have to increase mutual trust and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations. in exchange for neutrality and in place of nato membership, keith proposed a framework for other countries to act as security guarantors. these guarantees will be legally binding and allow those countries to intervene if ukraine is attacked in the future. the delegation also stressed that any arrangement would

need to be supported by the ukrainian people in a referendum, but they warned that no treaty could be signed and no referendum held while russian troops are still in ukraine. questions on more difficult topics still remain notably on the status of east and rebel territories of don yet. and lou penske, while president zalinski has previously indicated a willingness to compromise on the matter. the ukrainian delegation was clear. oh, because it's the position of ukraine does not change. we recognize the international borders of ukraine as of 1991. there are no compromises or red lines here. jordan compromise you should want to clean either geisha. delegates suggested these questions will be addressed at a high, a level opening the door for potential talks between presidents zalinski and fusion entirely mark little yet even as talks are underway. shelling continues. footage

from tuesday morning captured the moment that a russian rocket struck an administrative building in mich alive, killing at least 7 people. a timely reminder of the high stakes behind these negotiations. so why do people in ukraine make of rushes announcement that it will cut back its military activity in parts of the country including keith? let's get the latest from the w correspondent, nick connelly reporting for us from the capital of people hearing kids are definitely taking those announces with a significant pinch of salt. just this evening, we've been hearing the usual bangs in the distance. some of that will be ukrainian antiaircraft systems knocking things out of the sky, but there is also artery fire. nightly daily, in the suburbs of care of rosa had reports of russian forces somewhere out of key of trying to dig in, building or trenches another fortification seemingly prepared to be here in the long run. but yes, as you mentioned previously,

they're not doing very well. they're not taking care of and are for now i think people feel like the city has stood up or to to the russian force on its doorstep. let's have a listen to what people hear and keep on the street. had to say about those announcements from miss tumble today. no derucia pollution. that sounds good, but you actually, i don't believe it upon the wilderness dealer thornton. the question is whether they are going to do this because they're us. these are not the 1st talk. so then every time we hear the same thing that they want to scale down the fighting, but in fact, they step it up. a little foolish was the other must have seen the mars. i don't think we can trust russia of see you her, her. so of our model, their words are worth nothing or the most shar we believed that they would not wage a full scale invasion. would there be no more stop next door when you now i don't trust their words or yon live either? yes. so um, i think the russians are putting a brave face on their defeats and a lack of success around kevin. yes. we've had news in recent days of it
