ah, ah, ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin. peace talks between russia and ukraine, move the needle, but don't. and the war. russia says it will reduce military activity around the ukrainian capital. keith warns this is not as these fire nor a retreat. also coming up, a gunman opens fire in israel before being shot dead. of these 5 people have been killed in a television suburb, the latest in a spate of deadly attacks. the government is calling for caution.

ah, i am abby caught awesome. well, come to the program, never j not join nato, rather, this has long been a key kremlin demand of ukraine. now, keith has proposed it is willing to be permanently neutral in return for security guarantees from a group of countries. and russia now says it will scale down military operations around the ukrainian capital keith and the northern city of churney have, but it made it clear, this isn't a retreat. all this came out of talks in istanbul between the 2 delegations on tuesday. another round of p socks, but this time with 1st signs of progress is ukraine opens up to discuss, adopting a neutral status. russia promised to scale down operations, and that is the russian defense ministry has made the important decision to

decrease military activity. several fold it in the direction of keith and churn, to his to increase mutual trusting and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations. negotiations that will be needed to increase trust, but in action and not in words, ukraine's president stressed. talk more than those of other yes, we can say that the signals we hear from the talks are positive. i'll it. but the signals can't silence the explosions from russian shells. seasonal, of course, we see all of the risks though, and of course, like we don't see grounds to trust the words coming from representatives of the country that continues trying to destroy us. all really want the that are the nozzle. lisa rushes, announcement was also met with skepticism in washington. but i think we should be clear eyed about the reality of what's happening on the ground and no one should be fooled by russia's announcements. we believe any movement of forces around cave is

a re deployment and not a withdrawal. i in the world should be prepared for a major offensive against other areas of ukraine. offensive that in the future should be stopped by other countries acting as security guarantors. an idea that key if proposed in exchange for neutrality and in place of nato membership as peace talk scheme, momentum. there is now also another possibility on the horizon. a high level meeting between both presidents at spring. indeed, i'll be a correspondent, mathias bellinger, who joins as from the ukrainian capital. keith mathias, the ukranian delegation, has made a peace proposal. what security assurances are they asking for exactly ah, basically what they have said is that these security guarantees should be stronger than what the night nato countries have agreed on in article 5. which means that they expect countries to declare that they would be ready to step in if the country

was attacked. and that's what one adviser has sad other official sources have a talk more about the possibility to procure or to provide weapons to ukraine. so basically, the idea would be $245.00 ukraine in a way that it could really be not a member of nato, but be armed so much that it would be very difficult to attack it and pop last possibly. i mean, it's of different sources, different saying different things, but possibly even the guarantee that other countries, even though not through the mechanisms of nato, would step in the case of an attack. and he has russia says it will drastically reduce its military activity near to ukraine. stating cities including the capital . is there a sense in keep where you are that moscow is retreating or simply looking to regroup?

if anything shelling in the suburbs have the only intensified in the past 24 hours where he explosions quite often now and it does not look that fighting activity has been reduced. of course, by the sound we cannot judge who has been shooting how many ro rounds. we know that the crane president lauding has the lansky has been asking for direct talks with vladimir putin for some time. russia now says this may soon be possible. what more can you tell us about that? wo the idea that the ukrainian president has brought forward was that the choose presidents would discuss the situation and on boss or the future often bustle this region. that is, has been divided between the 2 factor divided between the 2 are on paper divided between ukrainian control and controlled by these self proclaimed republics during the past 8 years. and that was one of the things that alaska said

in his election campaign that he wanted to have direct talks with russia. russia has a snub to this idea and has not been willing to putin has not been willing to talk to him. um, we've heard that yesterday that there might be that this might be a way out i as, as, as with everything in these talks, both sides are now testing the waters and none of the words should be taken literally. um we will see what comes out of that dw correspondent mathias, boeing air reporting from the ukranian capital. thank you. in israel, a gunman on a motorcycle and has killed 5 people after opening fire on a crowd. just east of tel aviv. it is a 3rd incident of its kind in the country within a week. both your secretary of state antony, blanket and u. s. g u n. chief. rather antonio good terror have condemned it as a terrorist attack. a warning that the falling report contains disturbing images.
