crimea had to be created that if indeed, as russia says, a referendum, what he called the pseudo referendum is carried out to the 3rd, which is this region in southern ukraine that is currently occupied by russia. and it would be the end of negotiation. and he reminded everyone that while people were asking about negotiations, well, strikes were ongoing that there were 7 missed that hit the deployment of a day earlier today that a 3 month old baby died in one of those strikes. and he became very angry and emotional about that. we actually even excused himself about this display of emotion. but he said, this is the 1st time in my life that actually tell children that i hope that you have a safe life. i hope that you have a long life. nancy sunday's visit by the us, secretaries of state and defense,

had your counselors all corresponded in washington dc with the very latest. so the u. k. president, the crating, sorry, president announces high profile diplomatic visit by these us officials, but what's the u. s saying about as well? so it's no surprise the washington has said no comment. why is that not surprising? well, it's typical that when a senior us official makes a visit to a war zone out of security reasons. typically the public doesn't find out about it until during or sometimes, not even until after the visit has concluded. we know that this is going to be the 1st time that such high ranking us officials have visited ukraine since the beginning of the war. and it is going to be a very symbolic visit. we are having to secretary members who will be there in here on orthodox easter, and this is the secretary of state at the u. s. and the secretary of defense
