5:32 pm
russia's attempts to draw ukraine into military conflict have failed. it's easy for the red sea in the building. nt and this is more than just a power struggle with moscow the leadership in crimea itself has taken an aggressively pro russian stance. the new prime minister of the autonomous region has taken command of security forces to move toward a referendum on tiniest future to the end of march and construction for assistance. judo she was in the last i ask the russian president webinar put in to offer help in providing peace and order in the territory of the economist republic of crimea. she knew this was in the cute little on this blog included. sounds like an invitation to russian troops europeans and americans are concerned about this development. us president barack obama sent a clear warning to the milestone. any violation of ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity would be deeply
5:33 pm
destabilizing. and indeed the united states will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in ukraine. obama is considering a boycott of james g eight summit in swansea. that would be a serious diplomatic front to the kremlin. it is unlikely that such gestures will discourage the russian government from its course in the crimean crisis. at the moment. all signs point to confrontation the three new government has placed its troops in crimea on high alert. and it emphasizes that will not bow to provocations from russia. ok we're going to live not to our correspondent in moscow on i gave it my head that says he still making up its mind that parliament has approved the streets. this is much more than just a strong show of strength. it does seem like just says more than than that sexy by now however all said and then when experts
5:34 pm
close to the kremlin and have been telling us it's not really like that is that war is just around the corner three she really wants to take time it seems he was to put pressure on ukraine and then see how they act react sixty days. he also used the expression cannot just an hour ago and second team is now very closely looking at the whole situation which also has for some people hear the kind of whiff of blackmailing and say there's no panic and reason to panic yet. color vary of course that it's much more than say the wrestling team. russia has increased its stake in this war of nerves and we'll get serious i think and hardly anyone has any doubts about that now. michael let me put this seems to be also in somewhat of a difficult position he does have to appear strong in case anything happens to ethnic russians in crimea cracked yet during the last two days
5:35 pm
i see this whole scenario has been building up the difference we saw the russians say on crimea appealing to russia a full head for help and vanity and pride in the midst of them and asking allah said ptt said in the poly him and what chomsky hint to all this was the kind of build up for then contained showing up and saying yes we will and come out and and how the next seattle so the russian state tv portrays this hall and on the situation as a kind of peace are keeping an eye on seats you a stand and that sells a lot like the russians he do believe. either some echoes of the cold war here we turned in our report very clear message from washington there will be cause for military intervention. how was that weighing in on what the kremlin is doing. in no way it made the kremlin has a chance that the decisions that would take and when the upper house of poly
5:36 pm
amends and was taking the decision on the eve of a twix and grands prix team that can mix and seeing them have that its activities on trendy and they actually seemed very angry by this pledge that barrack obama. i said yesterday that they would be called foreign intervention they said they felt insulted by that they didn't wanna listen to any effect and cynical top they said it seems they are very fed up with the west. a week the yeti us with the statements and coming then they repeat it once again that they feel that the un's the us and the european union responsible for what happened in ukraine. they say here in russia and political elites says that semi precious and bandits in the russia where helped by the west to gain power. typically do they take that threatens retaliation from washington they don't take it as seriously as all respects except an especially to the team that was taken
5:37 pm
seriously in general he precedes the west and barrack obama as the weekend especially since in the serie a crisis when originally a bomb into the red line when it came to the use of chemical weapons and then when chemical weapons when he's in the andes for military intervention happened since then. axiom of russia doesn't really consider him a strong leader as all that nothing bad to the us or europe will say i will stop the crime and acting the way it wants. my dad crying it was part of russia not too long ago you're sitting in moscow however the russians feel good they feel like when it is their territory. in general the russian psyche i think they do few really close to crimea to spot where they lead to good on holly day and even if it's not for everyone a political question a few minutes of their people manage their troops. an advantage in now with the russian state tv having
5:38 pm
portrayed for that day he says he turns down crying yes infractions that when attacked as if they went on to speak the language anymore they also were saying they want in mario's has started wanting mario's land attacks said. now this has probably fueled the ceiling and an ice box instead. and i stayed really needs to act on the east and so many and russians as i said they feel that it's a good news that pressure should i say that there's strong that they are ready to protect their people but obviously in very soon anyway in opposition to the bloody me at the scene and a half an. closely followed what happens on mind on some of them with envy because they themselves which makes for a kind of resolution like that entice peoplentoeelings th ancyy weiedn the mend. they clearly f that i am. the kremlin that by the new pc is the second test boundaries and sat once again violating its national launch attacks into my ninety
