the regions which are in dire need there of however of course that humanitarian crisis in southeastern ukraine actually could be the cornerstone of the talks between russia's president putin and ukraine's president poroshenko. legal expert alexander macoris believes that the ukrainian president is exaggerating the importance of. i think this is an exploratory meeting between the ukrainians and the russians which has happened after a great deal of international pressure and is probably to be explained to some extent by the deteriorating situation in the ukraine itself for the economy there is going very badly wrong the military situation is not good and this is how we get broader reports repercussions for europe so there is a push from various people to try and come to some sort of an arrangement but i think to talk about this being the solution to a great crisis that is in danger in the whole of europe is to overdramatize the importance of this meeting military officials in kiev say that they have detained a dozen russian soldiers who crossed into ukraine at night a source in russia's defense

comes to temper but of course the main issue continues to be the settling off the crisis in southeastern ukraine in order to prevent a communitarian catastrophe that is in full danger of developing their. thank you to a correspondent a really good reporting for us from minsk. a legal expert alexander macoris believes that ukraine and russia fundamentally differ in the way that they see moscow's part in this conflict the fundamental difference is that the russians do not consider themselves to be a party to conflict in the ukraine they see the conflict there as a conflict between eastern ukraine the people in the eastern ukraine and the authorities who came to power in kiev in february so there is now this is the situation is totally different from the one of polish change and of the people in kiev who want to internationalize the question and turn it into a conflict between the ukraine and russia so that is why you see a totally different approach from the two presidents military officials in kiev say that they have detained a dozen russian soldiers who crossed into ukraine at night a source in

both presidents said that they are extremely concerned about the ongoing violence in southeastern ukraine calling it a humanitarian catastrophe which must be resolved immediately the finnish leader also supported the humanitarian operation clearly being conducted by moscow it's sending humanitarian aid to eastern ukraine saying that these types of steps help to rebuild trust which is vital to help to deescalate the tensions in the region and also of course both leaders discussed trade ties between russia and finland which recently have gone down by eighty percent. but you know. the finnish president tonight discuss the negative impact of sanctions came to the conclusion that the measures are harmful to trade and business development in other countries and as a result to the world economy this is president putin's first meeting with any e.u. leaders since the european union introduced the latest set of sanctions targeting a whole sectors of the russian economy and since moscow introduced the ban on a wide range of products imported from the e.u. and it has caused quite a strong effect on e

about quite a few things that have been achieved obviously the subject of the cease fire in southeastern ukraine has been brought up during the meeting between the two presidents and speaking about it russian president said that it is an internal conflicts in ukraine and moscow's role can only be a facilitator. you're good in that it should be we didn't talk in detail about it and frankly speaking russia can propose any conditions for a cease fire or speak about possible agreements between kiev and donetsk or lugansk this is ukraine's affairs we can only try to help to create an atmosphere of trust us during these negotiations that are in my view very necessary. now of course that the issue of humanitarian aid coming into donetsk and lugansk where they where the situation is bordering on humanitarian catastrophe obviously that also has been brought up and discussed by the two presidents and russian president said that an agreement of some sort has been reached and that kiev and moscow are going to be working towards so solving that situation and of course there were also there was also the subje

this experience in the future because unfortunately unfortunately it seems like people in southeastern ukraine will require more aid in the future the second area where we also marked some progress is border control. of course initially the main responsibility for security along the border is with russia and ukraine and we soon full responsibility for everything happening on our side of the border making sure that there is no illegal crossing of the border and ukraine is responsible for doing the same on its side of the border. nevertheless as you know there's. some time ago as a good will gesture the russian bided or you see monitors the border crossings that are controlled by people's militia on the ukrainian side of these monitors work and they are in their report to vienna to their headquarters regarding what they see and i think they have been there for about three weeks and in these three weeks they saw no illegal crossings of the border and they report so to vienna there are reports are they able you can actually read them what they say is that there's increasing flow of refugees from t

of the middle of the biggest concerns in this regard is the issue of possible cease fire in southeastern ukraine where fighting continues to rage now russian president has reiterated the point that was previously made by moscow on several occasions and that is the fact that this issue continues to be an internal issue in ukraine and russia can only play the role of a facilitator in the dispute but if you're good in that it should be we didn't talk in detail about it and frankly speaking russia can propose any conditions for a cease fire or speak of possible agreements between kiev and donetsk or lugansk this is ukraine's affairs we can only try to help to create an atmosphere of trust during these negotiations that are in my view very necessary now of course there is also the issue a few minutes terry an aide to the regions of donetsk and lugansk where people are continuing to suffer a situation there is that of humanitarian catastrophe so both most going to have seemed to have made progress and facilitating some sort of an agreement that we do not know the details of god but it does seem that t
