i can say that the telephone traffic we're carrying out with mr. brewton and mr. zelinski as advancing on a positive direction. well, we'll have more on those talks later, but 1st, more on the situation on the ground in ukraine. rob mcbride begins, are coverage from the vive. russia is continuing its attacks on defense facilities across ukraine, including fuel depos with this site in the western city of lots getting hit overnight. with torps expected to start between the 2 warring sides ukraine's president vladimir lensky has struck a conciliatory tone. he seems to accept russia's military presence in some parts of ukraine in some form as part of any deal. yup. when you must, would he bullshit it? do i understand it's impossible to make russia give off territory completely that will lead to world war 3. i understand completely unaware. he's also confirmed, he is willing to consider ukrainian neutrality in the future. provided president putin pulls back his forces on ukraine's west and border with poland. there's relative order after the chaotic exit this of refugees in recent weeks, in

and then a lot of discussion behind closed doors, including the 1st address to the leaders by mr. zelinski. at one other thing, not perhaps the most important thing on the agenda, but one thing that we're hearing is being discussed is some allies would actually like mr. stilton berg to stay on the job. he's supposed to leave the job in a matter of months to become the new central bank governor of his country, norway. some suggestions that he will be asked to stay on in the job as a nato secretary general for another year, given the severity of the crisis. and to tell you more about the severity of the crisis, it's worth me telling you what some of the leaders said when they arrived here. for example, latvia as president saying russia must not fail. lithuania, said no one in nato should be able to feel safe. now, and all, also a stonier saying, there's no way the vitamin putin can win or his appetite will grow un nato country could be next. so that's giving you an indication, i think of how severe they see. the situation was telling you to rob that i've been speaking to a senior nato milita

mr. zelinsky once again -- mr. zelenskyy once again insisted that russia only understands the language of sanctions. we need to step them up. if they stay open, this is a massacre for the ukrainian people every day, so we ask for more weapons, particularly defensive, but also means to counter the russians in the air, clearly a reference to fighter jets. tom: i did the mass, and there will be 472 by let's -- 472 bilats in the next few days. which one matters? maria: to me, there are a few that are key. one is president biden with president erdogan of turkey. for a long time, the ukrainians leave that turkey could actually play a very active role in the mediation. the ukrainians are disappointed in the israeli prime minister, but they have said the turks could provide the best platform. the ukrainians say this war is only going to come to an end if president putin and volodymyr zelenskyy meet face to face. the other that will be very important is poland and the united states. this is the key country to watch out for

mr. zelinski, will participate in nato and the european leaders summit. there is a lot on the agenda. we are expecting a conversation at nato about defense spending. potential deals when it comes to weapons sent over to ukraine. i would keep a very specific eye on poland and turkey. at the end of the day, a political discussion that will focus on energy policy. the russians are saying, we want to get paid in rubles. the germans say that is breach of contract. you see european countries scrambling to get alternative sources of energy. the u.s. saying we can help in two years time, but what do we do over the medium term? manus: of course russia handset is going to retaliate to the energy sanctions. they want to be paid in rubles and this is a huge ramification in terms of those people that russia sees as being hostile globally. maria: russia says they are taking economic unfriendly measures. he referred entirely to the whole of the eu. the feedback we had yesterday is that this is probably not going to work for vladimir putin. the italians have also said, we are not going to pay rubles,

these rescue workers are digging for bodies in khaki of, and mr zelinsky was keen to use the interview russians who have been subject to extreme censorship of the conflict, the dark details of the war, including that russian forces won't pick up that russian forces won't pick up their date of borrie —— pick up up their date of borrie —— pick up their date of borrie —— pick up their dead or buried their bodies. it is a situation he says can be stopped immediately by peace talks, but only if russian troops pullback, and mediators can come in. guarantors will not sign anything if the russian troops are in ukraine. why do i think that this war can be finished quickly when the only person that prolongs it is putin? but while he insisted russian tanks need to withdraw for peace talks to work, he conceded that some would have to stay. i understand it is impossible to force russia completely from ukrainian territory. it would lead to a third world war. i understand it, and that's why i'm talking about a compromise. go back to where it all began and then we will try to solve the donbass issue,

it seems that there's an agreement on humanitarian corridors. zelinski the president of ukraine, federal, hey, mr bar, don't you? when i sit down, but i'm very skeptical, but now that the war has begun, there will be a diplomatic resolution. i think it is going to stand by his initial claim that he wants to go in top of the regime and store, install a puppet government. and so i fear that's what we're looking at. now. the diplomacy is war about sanctions, about efforts to make sure that russia pay the price about efforts to protect nato itself, from potential russian aggression. as i said, i'm pretty pessimistic that we're going to see a cease fire and diplomatic resolution at this point. putin is doubling down, not going to the diplomatic negotiating tail on the subject of doubling down germany. as chancellors schultz spoke with president putin earlier today. he told russia that he's concerned by reports to the civilian casualties. apparently, according to the, the, the read out of a meeting of the conversation president putin told chancellor shows that russia is open for dialogue with ukraine.

thank you, mr. secretary general natasha our champion, and i'm wondering whether nato has invited president zelinski to participate in any way in the liter summit next week as resume opted in the defense minister ill today . and i'm also wondering if you could respond to and the polish proposal to send nato forces into ukraine on a so called peacekeeping mission. thanks as what we need is peace in ukraine and therefore russia and president putin has to stop the war to withdraw its forces. and we support all efforts to fund and negotiated a solution. we support all efforts to find the diplomatic solution. and of course, we support and welcomed her, the talks on negotiations, which are now taking place between ukraine and the anger shaw. at the same time we support ukraine because we know that they can achieve on the negotiating table is of course very closer linked to the situation on the battlefield. so i strongly also believe that one, the reasons why a and the ukrainians also are saying that they have seen some a steps in the right direction is because they have been able to fight back. they have
