something that two western officials tell me could have been a message in their meant to scare anyone who might have challenged putin in the past or would think about doing so in the future. that is the current western intelligence read of this. and jim, matthew chance was points out, that general who got fired today, he has not been seen since the rebellion. he very visibly disappeared, if that s a way of describing it, immediately following the coup. and russian officials said he was resting, which was an almost comical explanation for why the man who led, for a time, your military operations in ukraine would disappear suddenly. so, now he s been officially removed from his role. and the view from the u.s. is that this is part of a campaign post-coup to get rid of anyone who challenged him or might challenge him. and kayla, has the white house commented on this at all?
