a gun attack. the government is urging vigilance. after 5 people are shot dead and a television suburb is the latest in a space of ah, i'm glad off as welcome to the program. rushes pledge to reduce military operations around the ukrainian capital. keith has been met with skepticism by the united states and ukraine's. they say moscow is just repositioning troops and not withdrawing russian forces had already been pushed back from open a suburb of the capitol, leaving behind ruins and the bodies of dead civilians. washington wants that moscow could now be preparing for a major offensive elsewhere in ukraine. russian spreads to reduce its

operations around 2 ukrainian cities, came off the peace talks between russian and ukrainian delegations. in his stumble, ukraine has proposed that it is willing to be be permanently neutral, but says it requires security guarantees from a group of nations. another round of peace talks, but this time with 1st signs of progress is ukraine opens up to discuss, adopting a neutral status. russia promised to scale down operations, but here 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 trust in 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 presidents stressed talk more than those of other yes, we can say that the signal we hear from the talks are positive. i'll it. but the

signals can't silence the explosions. don't rush unchallenged these. no, of course we see all of the risks though, and of course life we don't see ground to trust the words coming from representatives of the country that continues trying to destroy us over your body 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 force is for 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 guard tours. an idea that key if proposed in exchange for neutrality and in place of nato membership as peace talks, gain momentum. there is now also another possibility on the horizon. a high level

meeting between both presidents as brady w, correspond mathias herb bellinger. he is in kiva mathias. russia says it will drastically reduce its military activity near tentative in the north and the capital. keith, what is your assessment from the situation on the ground that we're from what we're hearing and i mean what we're hearing, what the thunder we're hearing in the air. the shelling that we can hear, even hear from the city center of key of are fighting, has not relented. it has if anything, intensified of course, we can knox here who has fired, which rounds. and we also know that the has been offensive and offensive by the ukranian army, but the fighting is at this moment going on. and what we have been hearing from our officials in this suburb of key of european that the ukranian army claims to have

re conquered is that the place is still regularly shared by the russian army. on the other hand, it's also not clear what mean, what it means to reduce fighting it. we know what it means to or hold fighting, but what, how, how do we measure reduction in fighting it's, it's never it at the same intensity level anyway. so, um, there are many questions about that, and there is also deep distrust here not only from officials but also in the population. what and as far as this announcement is concerned, russia has previously or withdrawn, or i said it would withdraw or withdraw its troops and, and attacked afterwards. so we have to see what happens on the ground until we can make an assessment of that. mother said there have also been reports about intensified shelling at eastern ukraine. what more can you tell us about that?

yeah, we've heard these reports and they're in line with what russia sand russia has said at the same time it would ease it's attack here on the capital of kia and concentrate on what they call the liberation of on bus. which means that they would most probably try to conquer as much territory as possible of these chewed districts. lo, hunter, and danielle, part of which was controlled by the self proclaimed republics that russia has recognized in the run up to this war. so an intense, intensified fighting in that region would be totally align with what russia has said. did i because one of my t as billing other talk to us from kia. thank you. mathias. about here in germany. the government is activating an early warning plan to prepare for possible shortages of gas deliveries from russia. economy minister hold

at harbor it says a crisis team is being established to monitor gas supplies. this follows moscow's demand for payment and rubles which germany and other importers have rejected. harvick who's with the environmentalist green party in germany's government, also urged industry and households to conserve energy. we are then do i know that we are in a situation where i have to say clearly that every kilowatt hour of energy saved helps understand. that is why i would like to combine the triggering of the early warning level. the gas supplies with the appeal for health to companies and private consumers. you are helping germany. you are helping ukraine when you reduce your use of gas and more energy and general lucky in school and i'm spawn ablative correspondent, a. jared read is following this story and joins us now. jarrett, what is this early warning plan and what does it mean that it,

that they've activated it? right, so again, this is a level one of a 3 level response. and basically what this early warning level means is that a crisis team is going to be meeting every day. they will be made up of representatives from a little bit habits industry who we just heard from in that sound bite, but also service providers of energy representatives of the regions in germany. they're going to be meeting every day and monitoring the situation closely. and i guess working out their responses to the next 2 levels, which are the alarm level and then eventually level 3, the emergency level. and as you mentioned, this is in response, i guess, to a demand from vladimir pollution, that gas be paid for going forward in roubles. this is something that the g 7 group of nations, which is led by germany at the moment, has rejected. and in response, the kremlin is due to announce on thursday

a set of rules for how it expects its energy, like gas to be paid for going forward. so what has been set up today, i guess, is a precautionary response in response to this pushed by the kremlin because as countries like germany which are trying to reduce their energy reliance on russia, they're not quite there yet. they need to work out what they will do in a more formal way, if russia does decide to stop supply. now, germany has repeatedly said it would not stop and bought the energy from russia due to its dependence. but how concerned is berlin right now that moscow may shut off? it's gas applies. well, one of the underlying messages from corbet hardback is that it's not in that kind of panic stations mode, yet there is enough gas for industry and consumers. and he kind of highlighted that what has been done today is a more precautionary sense they are waiting now to see what these new rules are

that are going to be unveiled on thursday by moscow. a little bit hobbit said that as of now, russia is fulfilling its contractual obligations. germany, it must be stress can't immediately do without russian gas, but it is working towards that. it's a goal, though that's going to take a few years to achieve. but the government is saying that there is no risk of immediate gas shortage. is a jared read there. thank you very much, jared and we'll have a lot more on that story coming up in the business with robots right after this news program. and here are some of the other ukraine related stories making headlines today. the un refugee agency says more than 4000000 people have now fled the fighting in ukraine. that's nearly 10 percent of the country's pre war population. more than half of all refugees across from ukraine into neighboring polar ukraine has honored the border guard officer who bluntly defied calls from
