for president against each other. one of them has to be, and they have to make a determination. don't forget, this movement is driven by the passions of the younger people who relish the fact that they are independent. theirs a whole new ychological reality, and the leader has to be in tune with that mood as to symbolize it most effectively. if that manifests i was, that creates a new ballgame. ok, they can perhaps arrest him. yanukovych can be under pressure from putin to arrest him, but might not work. don't forget, russia is changing too. i'm not sure that everybody in russia is crazy about trying to create some sort of a union in which there's going to be internal more opposition and china in the meantime gains influence. brzezinski, thank you

very much for insightful views and getting a sense of the entire field, as i like to call it. i grew up sitting in the cheap sheets, but it gave you a absolute of the entire field, and it gave you a sense of what, in fact, is in front of you in terms of choices to be made. i think you've done this for the economy extraordinarily well. there is a reason that i called this hearing as the second hearing of this new session of congress after south sudan, because i believe in the importance. in protecting solve society that senator murphy saw himself when he was there, and in the possibilities of what a overeign ukraine free from economic coercion can ultimately achieve, and i think

it is in the national interests of the united states, as well as the ukrainian people to be able to try to achieve those goals. we thank you for your testimony. we will monitor the events of the ukraine with both the full committee and with our distinguished colleague. this record will remain open to the close of business tomorrow. with that, this hearing is adjourned.

>> the bureau has been in existence for a couple of years now, i think 2 1/2 years or so. are consumers being treated better in the financial marketplace, do you think? >> i think i can sit here, jim, and say i know that they are, and i know that for the following reason. one of the things we've done that i'm really as excited about as anything we've done, enforcement action, mortgage rules, we've set up a consumer complaint function at the bureau, where consumers can come to us and do this very easily. again, consumerfinance.gov. you can file a implant in less than half onlure. you can call our call centers. there's people standing by in multiple languages. you file a complaint, because you think something is happening that isn't right on your mortgage or your credit card or your auto or student loan or your bank account and expanded now to debt collection

and credit reporting and money transfers and pay day loans. and we are now getting significant numbers of complaints. the first month we opened our doors on this, we got about 600 complaints only on credit cards, then we expanded the products. we now got more than 15,000 complaints last month. we've had over 270,000 complaints so far, and we are getting relief for people on a number of things, money back where that's appropriate or getting a problem solved like something taken off their credit report that was not important, matters to people, and the institutions know, because we have made it plain that with the growing amount of data in that database, we're looking at it to prioritize, if we see 100 complaints about something as opposed to two, we're going to look at that for action and supervision, and so the institutions know they need to pay attention as well. good businesses -- again, this is sort of back to basics here
