President obama said in a cbs interview that russia must move its troops that on the ukrainian border. The president also warned russia not to revert at to cold war practices. Inwe have no interest circling russia. We have no interest in ukraine beyond a leading the ukrainian people make their own decisions about their own lives. And it is true that we reject the notion that there is a along theinfluence russian border that then justifies russia invading other countries. At this afternoon, the Un Security Council is planning to hold a secret meeting to discuss the crisis. Russia has rejected a yuan resolution affirming the territorial integrity of ukraine.
