Ourill speak to correspondent in kiev. Lets start by talking about today. Announcement how is it going down where you are in kiev . It is to some extent encouraging. If his intent was to reassure ukrainians he has peaceful intent, that was not a success going at the reaction is overly skeptical. Some were even saying ukrainians should prepare for a wider scale invasion. Overall though, i think the broad belief here is this is simply an attempt by vladimir off possiblee sanctions from the u. S. And the ee you, possibly to pull the rug from underneath european from pull the runbly to from underneath european efforts for broader european reform, and certainly this does not leave without the tools necessary to escalate the situation in ukraine if he so wants to.

Ever since the ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko announced the ceasefire last week, there have been skirmishes on and off between Ukrainian Forces and the prorussian fighters. These have been quite violent with multiple deaths, and indeed several hours ago we saw yet another ukrainian helicopter the city of slovyansk. I think once again this highlights the fact that russias tools are very wide and up the russian president wants to further escalate the situation, there is if the russian president wants to further escalate the situation, there is no need to send in the tanks, these socalled little green men and the russian armor there is no need to send in the takes. These socalled little green men and the russian armor being sent across the border is well enough. Thank you for that update.
