diplomacy. that s something that the prime minister himself says. the government has asked us for non-lethal military assistance. and as you noted, secretary hagel, the pentagon had additional announcements last week in terms of additional assistance we are providing, nonlethal assistance. but the fact is, militarily as crimea demonstrated, ukraine is outgunned. and so, our efforts have been focused on diplomacy, focused on economic support. i should say, i believe the strongest answer, the best answer to aggression from russia at this stage is, first of all, an economically prosperous ukraine, crukraine that s movin forward with support from the international community and most importantly of all, successful, freely contested democratic elections on may 25th. there is no better answer to russia than ukrainians coming together and voting in those polls on the 25th of may. finally, we re learning that
