ah, i'm gather up as welcome to the program. ukraine's president followed him as elaine ski has confirmed, he has had a quote, long and meaningful cole with the chinese president. she didn't ping, it's the 1st contact between the 2 leaders since the start of the war and ukraine. state media reporting la g told zalinski negotiation is the only way to end the conflict. the chinese foreign ministry also says it will send a delegation to ukraine to seek a political settlement to the crisis. china is seen as a key player in any piece process because of its close relationship with russia. so lensky has appointed a new ukranian ambassador to play jane. let's the 1st in more than 2 years. i don't know why he the white house has welcome to call, but says it's too early to tell whether it could lead to peace. i spoke to

w is fabia and catch me in beijing and roman. going to rank and key of hurley and i ask roman why the 2 leaders spoke to day. well, we do not know exactly much of what was before the score was this story round the remarks by the chinese ambassador to france, who seemed to questions christian am ukraine's full independence and also the independence of former soviet republics. he was criticized for bed by eastern con, eastern european countries. ukraine restrained from harsh criticism, and now understand why because this phone call was over, obviously, being prepared at that time. and this phone call also comes ahead of the much expected ukrainian offensive. and it is, it is now a question, how can we talk about it police fire, or this is the word we're hearing today when ukraine is preparing a major offensive. this is a big question for ya. let's turn to you and bridging that is this phone call,

do you think a sign that china definitely will not send weapons to russia? what, in my opinion, a china said of state seating thing. he already gave their promise previously. namely when a french president emmanuel mccall and also the funder line, the you commission president, we're visiting beijing. but i think this call am delivered to really concrete results. namely that china will sent a special envoy off. he raised a face towards ukraine and i will try to help you know, find a political solution to what's the crisis. and secondly, china was sent humanitarian assistance. but the rest of the talking points in the rest of the rhetoric, i would say, is not really new. and the overall position of china that it holds a strategic alignment of with russia has not changed. and however, i think that we can, i can only understand this call from a chinese perspective. and when you have to understand it and paging, there's

a lot of fear that the relationship towards the european union will turn sour. and then m a china definitely wants to prevent m a trans atlantic alignment between brussels in washing. so i think this call is really to improve ties with europe and which is still the biggest trading partner with china. farming cuts for their reporting from bridging and roman going to ranko from keith. hundreds of thousands of ukrainians have been called up to fight since the russian invasion last year. foremost, it's the 1st experience of the military did. obviously, connelly went to the front line in the east and don boss region to find out how ukraine's citizen soldiers are coping in the trenches. a spring turns wet, snow to mud, keeping upright, even harder than it looks. this forest might seem empty, but it's actually full of soldiers all on the lookout for cuba. lucy,
