They killed 30 rebels so are. It has not then without him than your and server body here in europe follows on the dense as they lost contact with a team of logical of their view will also in the east of the ukraine. All of this is coming just after russia warned ukraine and not to initiate military out rations, saying that would be a loss mistake. The ukraine president elect pushing to clear that area of rebels. The followup question is, how is russia reacting to the crackdown on those rebels . The russians have reiterated their demand that the youth lenience cease their operations in the east of the country. In the last 24 hours, we have seen several prorussian fighters move into the east of the country. Many of the men describing themselves as volunteers. The ukraine accused the russian government of funding and allowing these to come into the ukraine. They are studying the situation and are definitely not pleased and warned the ukraine not to go forward with this. We will have to keep an eye on that very carefully. Thank you. Lets look at u. S. Reaction to the victory. Bloomberg news Foreign Policy reporter joins us now in washington. Ell us more how will they deal with him . Off to norselfmade who grew up under soviet ukraine and eventually made his 1 billion in chocolate. He is known as the chocolate kang and sold cocoa beans in the 1990s and eventually validated the biggest empire in the country. He held positions in the prorussian government and his victory was hailed by the u. S. And the eu and is seen as one russia can do business with. Base head theyre ready to dialogue with them but warned him against continued crackdowns in southeastern you rain.

Pull back it would its troops from the Ukrainian Border before to allow or a few ball action. For the first time, the pentagon is can arming some troops were pulled back. A clear reaction to the threat on the u. S. And eu are further sanctions. Russia at this point is weighing its options and seeing what he will do. It does not want the west to act as a mediator between them. They are still trying to the the ukraine these theyve lies herein certainly, the reaction so far has been milder than europe and the u. S. Worried about it being. Over 50 of the vote taking the sanction Congress Nation in the eu and the u. S. Office able . Vice it does immediately.

The screenreal mbo russia and the eu and trade, particularly on the energy on. The eu depends on russia for 30 of natural gas needs and half of that amount goes through ukrainian pipelines are there is worry among your team leaders that if we take measures against russia am a they would tally it against us i cutting off energy and this was a real uncertain. One way to hit russia and their bottom line, this country is heading toward recession already, is by hitting them on energy, the vast majority of exports. That has not happened of our you and i think we will see it happen. Need a surface, russia needs the eu just as much as the unique. Russia signed a deal with china but only for 38 billion you but the. We are looking at 150 billion he received very you are right. Not to mention china actually signed the deal, they a lower price than the europeans are paying now. Vladimir putin was careful to say in vain it is per glass week that this does not mean they do not want eu as an Energy Partner but adding on. It is a symbiotic relationship and keep in mind, food and grab crimea, which is energy rich in it elf, and he has nationalized some of the Energy Companies in crimea and there are economic for that as well.

We expect to receive the repayments accumulated over time. Questec currently stands at three point ive billion u. S. Dollars and may rise another 1. 6 billion next week.

Lex let his thin line taking a firms dan in the ease, but with vision death man russia . Less you are right. The phillies that he can is separatist to be terrorist. He is using air our again them, themnificant step against to say the government will not tolerate any further is with any of these parties. We have to extend a hand to moscow, who may either difficult or harder to negotiate with him when he is taking tough action. How that will turn out remains to be seen. Less you have Vladimir Putin coming out saying he still recognized as yet ninkovich coming out. How does russia deal with balancing act . It is true they are feeling a little bit. They made it clear they are willing to negotiate with the new government. It is a positive sign. I inc.

Qwest on behalf of a great old nation, or the extraordinary five as they make on behalf of of security there are no is also able to meet with our dinner to assess the project progress we have made. I want to date the american evil on how these here, we will bring americass longest word to ayers on will and. The united dates responsible end. We went to afghanistan out of ms. S vf or our nation was attacked in 2001. We went to war against al qaeda at the response of american evil and the representatives of congress or the International Community and our nato allies, and with gas afghanple. Of the people. We have now been in afghanistan longer than Many Americans that the. Make numbers take. Thanks to the skill and sack as our troops, diplomats and intelligence specials, we have struck cigna and blows against al qaedas leadership, we have eliminated bin laden, and lost tax against our home we also supported the Afghan People as they can you the hard work of building a he. We have extended more opportunities to their feet, including women and girls, and we held train and equip their forces. We are auditioning the job we started. In the last several years and we were to transition responsibility to the f is your it a year ago, Afghan Forces assumed the lead for combat operations. They have figured to grow in size and length while make you sacrifices were there entry. The transition has allowed us to steadily draw down our own worse is from a week of 100,000 u. S. Troops to roughly word 2000 today. Roughly 32,002 date. 32,000 two date. 32,000 to date. During the spring, afghan has ,urned out in the millions defined threats in order to determine their own best any. In just over two weeks, they will vote with their next president. Afghanistan will see its first democratic transfer of power in history. In the context of this progress and having consulted with congress and my nationals 30 a. M. , i determined the nature of the commitment america is compared to make. Our of jenkins are clear. Disrupting red post about why al qaeda supporting Afghan Security buses, and giving the f and evil the ability to succeed and dan on their own. Here is how we will pursue those of you this. Americas combat mission will be over by the end of this year. 30 next year, asked dance will be fully responsible or securing their country. American personnel will be in an advisory role. We will no longer patrol in towns, mountains, or valleys. That is a test for the f and people. Second, i have made it clear that we are open to cooperating with afghans on two now missions at 2000 or team. Training afghan worse is forces. I want to be clear about how the united dates is prepared to advance those missions. In the beginning of 2015, we will have approximately 98,000 u. S. Let me start that over. I want to make sure we do not get is wrong. At the beginning of 2000 and 13, we will have approximately 9800 u. S. Service members in different hearts of the country. 13, we willf 2000 have produced that presence i roughly half and will have consolidated our two. A year later, by the end of two draw r military will draw down to him normal millet justresent and this is a in iraq. Even as our home, the International Unity will continue to his word afghans as they build their country to come, that our relationship will not be just im i were. It will be shaped by financial and development assist is as well as financials were. Our commitment in afghanistan was rooted to the to teach it tarnish a in 2012. This has remained system with discussions you have had with our nato allies. Just as they have in with us every step of the way in a and and, we let them to be with us every step of the way going towards. We will only sustain the military is after 2000 or government f and signs a bilateral Security Agreement our to the government have already negotiated. This agreement is essential to give our the authority to fulfill their mission while is that respecting afghan sovereignty. The final afghan candidates in an election president each indicated they would sign this agreement rapidly after taking office. I am hopeful we can get this done. The bottom line is it is time to turn the page on more than a decade in which so much of our form of suicidal is on words in iraq. When i took office, we had nearly 180 and true in harms way or by the end of this year, we will have less than 10,000. In addition to bringing our own, the new cap your in american one policy will allow us to redirect those saved while ending wars is threat ofchanging terrorism, while addressing it water set up rarities around the growth around the globe. Americans have learned it is hard to end wars fan to begin them. This is how wars and in the 20 century. Not rude signings era moneys, but proved blows to our adversaries, transitions to elective government thomas. He forces who are trained to take the lead and all really have is on civility. Have responsibilities. We remain committed to secure and stable unified afghanistan. We will continue to support afghan led efforts to promote peace in the country through reconciliation. We have to recognize that as and will not the a perfect lace and it is not america thought responsibility to make it one. The user of afghanistan must be decided by afghans. Do, and united days can what we will do, is secure our interests and help give afghans a chance, an opportunity, to seek a long overdue and hardearned hes. E. Peac we will never waver in our determination to deny al qaeda the same they had in 9 11. That is embodied by men and women in and out of serve today and in the past. In their eyes, i see the character thats his names americans dirty and our leadership abroad. These are most young people who did not to volunteer in a time of war. As many of them transition to civilian life, we will keep a promise we made to them and all veterans and make sure they get the care and benefits they earned and deserve. This is part of an unbroken line in the heroes who give up comfort and the familiar to serve half a world away, and to give people they never thought they meet a chance to live a better life. Sacrificextraordinary for them and their families. We should not be surprised they are willing to make it very that is who we are as americans. That is what we do. Tomorrow, i will travel to west as he tom ericas newest last of the military officers to the dust how at can into our broader strategy going towards here and im confident if we carry out was roach, we can not only audibly and our warrior and his aunt, and achieve the objectives thats a us to war in the earth place that took us to war in can restoreace, we leadership around the world.
