we re adults. we can kind of sort of mentally psychologically handle it. but kids here have to do the same thing every day almost. they do. thanks so much for having me, hala. yeah. just behind us we have a park. and every day there are kids out there. they re playing on the swings. they re walking their dogs. they re doing all the things you would expect kids to do anywhere in the world. and then that siren goes off and they know just what to do. they stop what they re doing, they find their parents and they go into the bunker, which is just 100 yards from the park. and these are things kids shouldn t have to be experiencing. they shouldn t have to know what to do. and as you know, the numbers are just staggering. more than 1.5 million children who fled the country. more than 3.3 who are displaced in the country. more than 50 killed, more than 60 injured. and each of these is an individual child whose life has been torn apart, whose world has been turned upside down. talk to us ab
where children are meant to be kept safe, coming under attack. the long-term challenges are going to be momentous. we need international cooperation, solidarity. i was going to ask you what needs to be done. and people feel helpless who watch this on tv or on their devices, whatever. they think, well, i m sitting here at home, i m safe, my kids are safe, what can i do? yeah, certainly. organizations like unicef are humanitarian funding not only from governments but individuals is critical. it allows us to be here not only soon as the crisis starts but also prepare to be here in advance. we ve been in ukraine for 25 years. we ll be here throughout this crisis. and we ll be here long after the guns have fallen silent so we can help children and families rebuild their lives. but also refugee resettlement. each and every country needs to step up and do their fair share and provide safe and legal routes for families who are fleeing these horrors. yeah, absolutely. joe english, thanks
foreign minister managed to host a trilateral meeting here in turkey just last week between the ukrainian and russian foreign ministers. but what turkey has really been working toward is to try and bring both president zelenskyy and putin together. president erdogan has offered to hold a summit here in turkey, inviting them to istanbul or to ankara. but here s what turkish officials are telling us, that in these ongoing phone calls between president putin and president erdogan, the latest we know of, at least publicly, was on thursday according to a chief adviser to president erdogan saying that he doesn t think that they re going to be able to hold these talks soon because president putin has these demands. none of this is new, really, hala. we know the russian position when it comes to their key demands, the so-called
de-nazification, neutralizing and demilitarization of ukraine. but according to turkish officials they believe that perhaps the ukrainians and the russians are getting to a closer position when it comes to negotiating these issues. but what remains a serious contentious issue for both sides really is the territorial integrity of ukraine and the sovereignty of ukrainian territory. they say that president putin is not changing his stance on the crimea region and the donbas region where he wants these to be seen as independent independent territory. and we know the ukrainian position on this is it s a red line when it comes to territorial integrity. so basically, turkish officials are saying, hala, that right now they don t believe, according to president putin telling president erdogae to having the face-to-face talks or these leader to leader talks just yet because of the difference of opinion when it comes to these issues, hala. zblb all right.
