that s exactly what he was doing yesterday, to get president putin to think about those, right. and maybe to find a face saving way to pull forces out and have some kind of negotiation for new free and fair elections in ukraine that allows ukraine to be free, independent and whole. in the long term, if he decides to go the other way, sanctions will not provide immediate reaction in russia. it will be a much more long term prospect. and i think that s important for people to understand. it won t be immediate. but this is a big difference in the 21st century versus a 1956 or 1968 when we saw soviet interest ter vengss eastern europe. russian banks do have multibillion dollar arrangements with western banks. there s russian money all over the world, including in the united states. and those provide real targets
and i m very grateful the prime minister would take the time to come visit. thank you. as we watch the prime minister speaking with secretary kerry, they are talking about a lot more than wine. they are talking about what putin is doing and what he is up to and maldova another former soviet blocked country bordering on ukraine. all of the issues you re exploring in the documentary have real resonance for the u.s. foreign policy for this white house and this president. when you think about the american range of options, there s all of this sort of chatter in washington about what president obama how president obama has to look and whether or not he seems muscular and tough or weak, that s esoteric stuff, there s no boots on the ground option here. the ukrainian government is not saying there s a military option in terms of respondsing to what russia has done. we can give money to them and
