essentially run by russian back rebels at the moment. they have come together for the first time in a long time. they talked about reinforcing the cease fire that was agreed last year, and ukrainian officials saying the fact that the talks are happening, there are more talks scheduled for a couple of weeks from now is a positive sign, so while we re still getting this military build up in the region on the part of russia and possibly soon with the united states as well, the ewe uukrainians are trying t a positive spin on it. thank you, matthew chance. i want to go to the retired general breedlove, i appreciate your time and perspective here. we know the u.s. gave a series of written responses to russia s demands today, what is putin s next move, does he counter those responses, formally, how does this happen? or is military action the next move? first of all, erin, thanks
