theyr the minsk agreement have spent several hours talking about that. there was some problems -- progress on the issues. the withdrawal of light weapons and selling gas to ukraine. the political process and organizing nationwide elections, that remains outstanding. there are grounds to fear that ukraine at least at this moment, eastern ukraine could be headed for a frozen conflict. and russia can maintain control while also claiming progress in the minsk' talks. from thee just heard ukrainian president petro poroshenko saying that he feels optimistic following this toxin we heard from the kremlin, a spokesperson saying the talks usinesslike and all sides have her nude there -- have word.d their " minsk a court has had some issues. do you share the view that there are signs of progress in the peace process? >> there is progress for sure. we are seeing the escalation of tension for the past month and on september 1, that seems to be holding out. on the political process i think there is numerous challenges and the big one is obviously the separatist elect

for now, the normandy 4 has a chance to give the minsk protocol another go. it includes 13 key points including the withdrawal of heavy weaponry, from the russian-ukraine border, in parts of the country controlled by the separatists cam with tensions as they currently are, the road ahead is challenging. >> the key issue here is, the control of the ukrainian-russian border. because ukraine believes that once they have control over this border then really they are controlling what's going in and out. so they're controlling the supply lines from russia into the rebel held regions. >> in return for signing up to the minsk agreement russia is expected to ask for an easing of international sanctions that have hit the country's economy hard. since the conflict in eastern ukraine began last april, 8,000 sod engineers and civilians have been killed. towns and villages have been laid waste by indiscriminate shelling. the fact that neither side wants to continue fighting is afternoon important first step. lasting reconciliation may be harder to reach. navy barker, al ja

we talk about getting to minsk, the minsk agreement being the final point at which we measure what's going on in ukraine. and the implementing ingredients of february last year, 12 february, point to the minsk agreement of the year before. in that minsk agreement there are some pretty important points, one of them, which i like to talk about often, is the reestablishment of the international border of ukraine, the reestablishment of the sovereign actions of ukraine inside of its internationally recognized borders. there are a lot of things that need to be done before we are there. remember that we have had well over 1500 armored vehicles and armored capabilities moved into eastern ukraine. we have air defenses there now. we have russian command and control structures there now. we have immense stockpiles of equipment and kit to support those forces in the east. in order to get all of that out to reestablish the border, the sovereign border of ukraine, that will take months and months. what about a good show of faith to show that we have a responsible way forward to reestablishing the

for instance, minsk requires -- the agreement in minsk requires that elections in two areas be held after russia draws downforces there. not just russian personnel but all military equipment, all mercenaries, all support for proxies must be out of these areas before the elections. it's critical that the osce mount a full-kale observation mission and be permitted to monitor every stage of the process. we'll be keeping a close eyen this as well. yet even if minsk is followed to the letter, a cease fire followed by elections, followed by restoration of kiev's control over its own eastern border, the order will remain compromised. this agreement doesn't address crimea nor does it hold the force of international law. and as much as we talk about minsk, we shouldn't forget prior and far more important agreements such as the helsinki final act and the budapest memorandum which reaffirmed the core prince polve the final act that the territorial integrity of states is inviolable. you know, ukraine was part of the former soviet union and when the soviet union collapsed, ukraine gave up its nuclear
