Then thousands have been killed enemy in people have had to flee their homes we are expecting to hear yeah from the fully this later on this evening at that joining me now in the studio it Michael Beach youll keep is a global affair. Less respect. For the organization for s security and cooperation. In europe the s. C. H. Very much indeed for. On twenty four at the festival an engine briefly how many people have been killed in this conflict but talkers top because it seems that a lot of people in the world have forgotten about this conflict a little bit it isnt in the headlines every day. Tennis how damaging it is being for you crying yeah well you know the good news is that because of these impeachment hearings this issue has come back into the for a lot of the people testifying have mentioiod. The numbers that you just said and its one of those conflicts in the world right now. Its going on for five years theres no end in sight in fact. On my way here i just typed in the fighting is still going on as these four leaders are meeting so the death. The destruction the displacement continues with horrible consequence. Will head out. There is that. And have never. Been in the same room together. Before what will the autumn is a landscape hoping to get from this meeting a what will the reputed be hoping to walk away with. Right well soul i think come the level of donors liski came here a bit rattled and why because before he left ukraine and even on his way here. They were quite massive demonstrations in key of. People saying no to capitulation towards russia so. Theyve theres a theres a lot of opposition to him doing anything anything at a all that gives any territory to russia. Which doesnt bring the you train russian border a conductor you crack and control. And also. It a lastingg cease their attacks are meant withdrawal of all. Amazed at is four. Well. It was nice to come here. And say well if i come back to russia with nothing no ones going to say anything probably because he has no. In a viable opposition there so. Put in is the type of fellow weve been watching him for a long time that it for the long game. If you cant gain anything here hell go back to moscow and this fighting will continue so thats what we have to face a and the political situatioion has changed greatly since the minsk agreement was signed back in at twenty six it hasnt it. I eat. For no matter how for example he is cold at to. Reset relations with moscow tipsy better ties with russia and america is much weaker. As you mentioned patients at proceedings on are underway in the United States which affects washingtons relationship with kiev as well. Everything is up in the air right now isnt it it is and i you know ive spoken to many ukrainian didiplomats are just came from the Halifax InternationalSecurity Forum where there are that you print it. Its been just over there for example and im kind of feeling from the ins is. You know maybe. Rethink things were just. Blown it with all of the of the white. Back and also angle of coal as reviewers know is going to be retiring. Soon and when he is eager for russian gas. Mccrone has its own problems i. Want to reset relations with russia but he has problems here at home as well so. I think the theyve theyve kind of realize that so we have to toughen up and maybe. Come up with ouour own solutions to the problem. And in. What seems to be pretty disastrous timing for visor pacey had an announcement today for the world Anti Doping Organization barring russia from taking part in the next two olympic games. Fifa world cup of. This terrible for vision is that affect the spacing told. Ananything extraordinarary and i saw. Boyd recounts putting. Holding out of his limousine this more than one usually see and you know. I think Something Like that really strikes at the russian hard at the russian pride. And thats something that hes going to have to go home and face because you know russians are huge sports fans and for their athletes to be barred from. Those two big events is a really really big deal i think. Perhaps to a lot of people even bigger than the sanctions so hes going to have to deal with that somehow and one more thing if i can i think it will serve to further isolate russia russians i think will feel that theyre more. Isolated in the past and that isnt a good thing. At and of course. Perhaps what could be seen as a it is. The isnt going into this has said he is interested in gauging with the land ski. Season summer donna someone he can do business with. All he had a very poor relationship with the previous year. And president portion because at do you think they might be able to along the lets give ibms what famous charm his. Its not his will come into play i dont think so i mean theyve had two or three phone calls already theyd have had the confidence Building Measure in terms of the prisoner swap. There is s some despite some explosions everyday on the front line theres less off. And on so i think those positive signs have occurred and i think it is because putin hasas. S said lets try working with this new guy maybe you know theyll be some programs for it. And just funny just to talk a bit more about. The dangers of this war the border between Ukraine Russia and israel must be mine what is the world right now is. In a lot of children are at risk the four hundred kilometer front line is one of the most mind contaminated areas in the world according to unicef affecting i believe the number is about.
