our correspondent sarah rainsford gave us the latest from kyiv.e here. lots of big words and big promises about ending the war here in ukraine by donald trump, but that was when on the campaign trail, but that 24—hour clock has started ticking and clearly ending the war in a day will not happen. there is more realism in the white house now that donald trump has returned to office. interesting that people in ukraine, to notice in his speech, his big inauguration speech, he made no direct reference to this country. he simply talks about america as a peacemaker and he pledged to end all wars. presumably including the one in ukraine but no direct reference to ukraine. it is interesting looking at how the ukrainian leadership is responding. i think president zelensky is trying to look at the positive and to be hopeful, trying a little to flatter donald trump, talking about him as a decisive and strong leader and talking about his inauguration as a moment of hope and opportunity for the world and ukraine. but for ukraine, i think the biggest hope is don

our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford has the latest from kyiv.s and the video that have been released by the ukrainian authorities show two young men being held in cells used for prisoners of war. one had his face bandaged and the doctor said he has an injured jaw and a busted lip, and another has his hand and edged and says he also has a fractured leg. they are being held in kyiv where they are being questioned by the ukrainian intelligence service. they say the two men were captured in the kursk region of southern russia by ukrainian troops, that's the part of southern russia that ukraine is partially occupied the several months now. we cannot verify the details of where they were captured and who they are and in one of the photographs, there is a russian military document that was found of one of the man. ukraine are saying that as a fake document produced by russia to disguise the use of foreign troops in its war against ukraine. that document suggests that the man comes from siberia, although ukraine is saying he is clearly north korean. in

the message from kyiv is if there is a push towards some kind of negotiation with russia at some pointme, ukraine was to come from a position of strength and it wants to know that its allies has its back, that means guarantees that will stop russia invading ukraine again in the future. 0bviously number one for ukraine is membership of nato but also president zelensky knows very well that there are key members of nato who are not entirely convinced that that is a good idea, so the other security guarantees that are being discussed right now include deploying european troops, including british troops, to here in ukraine to patrol what is now the front line but would become a kind of buffer zone between russian and ukrainian territory in the east of this country at some point in the future of the peace negotiations. after the peace negotiations. this is all discussing stuff that will happen at some point in the future but it is critical to ukraine to understand who has its back, who is prepared to help, and when its allies particularly in europe send troops here to protect its territory.
