you millating to see yanukovich flee the way he did. remember, yanukovich was their guy in kiev.so this was his response to that. and he is calculating that it's more to him what happens in crimea and ukraine than it is to the united states and all of europe, frankly. that's his calculation. it doesn't mean, however -- you know, this is my personal -- i'm trying to read a very complicated leader, president putin -- but my own reading is he hasn't decided what his end game is yet. he hasn't decided if he really wants to put the effort in to try to secure crimea and bring back the empire because he has to think about the costs there. we haven't talked yet about the ukrainians, but it's a very important point steve made earlier, if the costs are raised from military action, that will change president putin's calculus very clearly. i am impressed, so far, how pragmatically the government in kiev has responded because they understand that negotiation is a much better way to bring ac their country to be fully independent. but if that breaks down, i don't want to be the one to predict w

back on the my time in kiev and crowding isn't a yanukovich ana ca arabia to them. he's a spent force with that. to dream. new csa nobody said this woman the ukrainian people and branches will allow him to return to ukraine. so came to the consistency is this man has mistaken it's a shame all contents. how can you know people in the eyes he says he's the president the president mrs of people handing out himself. to most non human nature. as the mike duncan a test to see it yanukovich belongs to a pasta in a full contents of these people. he has no part in the future. well they've been dramatic developments in the south of the country on the strategically important for me and financial mosque gunmen had taken of the two airports in the region the nation's new leaders accuse russia of an invasion talk to our correspondent there just a moment but first the details. heavily on command in full combat uniform fanned out around the airport a simple cold they said they were protecting crimea against radicals and fascists. it was to sign seen from the south around the manate

a very clear message there from victor yanukovich specifically aimed at the park and ukraine near you or xp which was from but today the east of the country he began by saying that's identities and responsible for recalls could they tell wanted to impress one part if you crave against the other once again waving his flag of the fear people half of a possible split. that strip that people here at the doctor or alienating in any kind of bs. the russian foreign ministers say they never talked about and the key here in the east of ukraine being propagated by marauding western ukrainian nationalists and facets i've been at the four days now and i haven't seen any of that tool. there are people who are concerned about the new ukrainian government in kiev that there are people who are worried that said there are too many nationalists in the government and the people who are protesting and wants a referendum to join russia but said the district is to be all in all that big yet and the level of fear that people are expressing it is very low it's great that kind of creature that misty and that

viktor yanukovich on the run. is this showing they can't take the progress for granted and it is not necessarily a win. >> yeah, that is absolutely true, morgan. the new government in kiev has a lot of challenges. the east is looking to russia for industrial reasons and for culture reasons. so too crimea for culture reasons and the black sea fleet, russia has a military interest here. the black fleet an hour from here and 15,000 forces there on their bases and russia wants to protect its interesting, interest in the military and the ethnic russians here. it is a very, very complicated time for a brand new government in kiev and balancing all of this. things are moving quickly. a brand new prime minister and parliament and new elections and referendums on crimea coming up. >> in fact, jennifer, things are moving so quickly, we are turning to phil with updates, phil, what are you hearing there on the ground? >> here in moscow, we are hearing, they are saying what they are trying to do, trying to avoid in crimea is a

do you believe that putin believes that the demonstrations leading to the overthrow of yanukovich who was aided and abetted by the united states. >> i don't know but here's what he does believe, that on february 21, the european union foreign ministers signed an agreement with yanukovich that would have kept him in office till elections in december, gotten the protesters off the street and brought the process of some kind of reconciliation. that document, which russia didn't sign but signed off of -- i mean, it agreed with it -- was dead in the water twelve hours later and he feels that the fact that the united states and european union did nothing to enforce that document which led to the -- >> charlie: yeah. -- indicates our complicity at some level. >> charlie: and some say deck at a time american foreign policy. >> i don't want to implicate ian, he speaks eloquently for himself, but i would say the difference between your two steve's is the difference between, i think, war and peace. in steve sestanovich's mind, it's rust and putin who are responsible for this terrible mess from t

the new bit to come out of this he read a letter from the former president viktor yanukovich that was russian's man in ukraine in which viktor yanukovich asked for the russian forces to come to the aid of ukraine. take a listen to the long standing russian ambassador to the u.n. reading the letter. >> the country is in outright terror and driven by the west and people are persecuted on political and language grounds and i appeal to president of russia putin to use the russian federation to protect the people of ukraine. >> so the reading of the letter is new, and that is very interesting, but the russian position, tony, has not changed, the russians they are coming to aid of the people in the ukraine, particularly in crimea because they are seeing the opposing of viktor yanukovich, the removing of him from power as a coup by the european union and the united states. >> well, harsh words in response a to russia's justification for moving the forces into the ukraine, what did the u.s. ambassador have to say. >> yes, she's the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and saying what are you kidding m

it was thanks in part to yanukovich's own party that the future of ukraine changed., it is the most representative institution in ukraine. the russian government would also have you believe that the calm and friendly streets, one of which i walked down, but many of which i just drove through, that somehow these streets of kiev are actually dangerous ignoring the reality that there has been no surge in crime, no surge in looting. no political retribution here. the russian government would have you believe against all the evidence that there have been mass attacks on church. they would have you believe that ethnic russians and russian bases are threatened. they would have you believe that kiev is trying to destabilize crimea or that russian actions are legal or legitimate because crimean leaders invited intervention. as everybody knows, the soldiers in crimea, at the instruction of their government, have stood their ground but never fired a shot, never issued one provocation, have been surrounded by an invited group of troops much. that scene, an individual who got 3%

it's even going back further yanukovich has become this for the bad guy. and because of demonstrations the truth is. codenamed really doesn't like chemicals achieved it he's been relatively even handing over the years yanukovich in terms of trying to balance europe against russia and not committing to you there. so for whom she's been something of a problem as he moaned actually just come out and inside with russia. indeed the european union union. and really force this deadline on him to sign and the association agreement. at that. didn't really give ukraine enough advantages to two to justify turning its back on russia and so in some ways to the crisis that was cause was provoked by the european union eu. many people calling me so i hastened to the point being that yanukovich was was very comfortable negotiating with both sides indefinitely. they came down to a decision for us. why is it that the protein instead of forcing him to choose one or the other the european union could and trying to negotiate for inclusion in and say look we can come up with an

it is im know that senator mccain and i did not go to advocate for president yanukovich's removal, even though the process resulted in that fact. in actuait fact. in actuality, we spent two hours that night meeting with yanukovich, pleading with him to abandon plans to join the e.u. so he could when asked to support of the hundreds of thousands of people who gathered on that square to support european integration and domestic political reforms. the president yanukovich didn't listen and instead lost his legitimacy when he turned his security serves on his own people, resulting in the murder of over 100 ukrainians who simply wanted to compel their leader to follow the wishes of the ukrainian people. i was proud to offer a resolution that passed unanimously that declared her support for the ability of ukrainians to air grievances and to oppose the use of force against them. and i was equally proud to join senator mccain and some others in a bipartisan call for sanctions against yanukovich when he began his murderous crusade against the protesters. i was even prouder of president obama, wh

yanukovich remains in kiev, he would have been allowed to exercise -- >> this is exactly the problem-- what happened there was immediately after this agreement was signed, not just by president yanukovich and the opposition leaders but also the signatures were affected by the foreign ministers of germany, france, and poland. it was supported by the european union. immediately, there were threats the they would storm presidential residence unless he resigns by 10:00 the next morning. that is my understanding. of what caused them to leave the city. was was not something which envisaged in the agreement. that was a clear breach of that agreement. >> there seems to be a move to get the international monetary fund to quickly offer money. russia is a member so would you participate? >> we are prepared to discuss various approaches to dealing with a very dramatic economic situation in ukraine. for us coming from the russian perspective, it is somewhat difficult to discuss it specifically. we don't know what the problem of this government will be in what kind of government it will be. will i

actually, russia pressured viktor yanukovich into moving away from the eu deal. they are able to exert a lot of pressures in a number of ways. the threat of the energy cutoff, and all the trade that goes between ukraine and russia. >> in fact, i want to show the audience a graph that we have prepared for that. this shows the wait way that is situation is unfolding. the russian empire and the russian trade and $844 billion, half involves the amount of oil that russia exports. now to breaking that down with the european union, if you look at the european union you are seeing the uk, france, italy, germany, all defend, especially germany on russia as a trading partner. then we factor in china, we see that in the bottom half of the graph and that is showing how much money china exports and inports regarding russia. look at ukraine $39 billion and factor in the exports from russian oil to the united states, and japan, ukraine is responsible for more of the russian economy than the united states and japan are singularly and the united states receiving $27 billion in ru

we might say that is crazy, he's more popular than viktor yanukovich.ut putin thinks about the worse case scenarios and overestimates the strength and the unity of the opponents. for example, he thinks that the united states incity sgated the rev news in 2004 and 2005. he tends to over estimate the opponents and this is what we have to take into account. any way to judge russian's approval f of putin or not? >> we have the public opinion polls, but the problem the independent polls are hard to come by. there's no doubt he's enjoying a great deal of popularity and whether the people regard him as high as the polls we don't know. the problem o is that the russians have seen no alternative to him. during the elections he disqualifies anyone that could challenge him. and there is a regime of no viable alternatives. thank you for the insight. we appreciate it. >> it is my pleasure. >> the putin fortune, estimated in the tens of billion of dollars and we are following the money as the special report on putin continues. >> welcome back to our special. we are t

remember, that is exactly the same deal that viktor yanukovich walked away in november kicking off thetests that led to his down fall. on the one hand the eu is trying to send a warning sign to russia, not to do anything more. on the other side it's trying to bounce and strengthen what is a very weak, fragile country and doing that by signing this agreement with it and it's also providing what we call economic macro financial assistance, loans essentially, and trying to make sure ukraine has the strength for what is coming. >> reporter: rory joining us from brussels. nine people have been killed in an attack carried out by the taliban in a hotel in the capitol and four gunmen opened fire in central cabbel despite high security and afghan officials say the gunmen were able to sneak in weapons hidden in their socks and four foreigners from canada, india, new zeeland and pakistan are among those killed and jane ferguson has the latest from kabul. >> they made their way to the restaurant of the serena hotel after 9:00 on thursday night and opened fire on diners killing nine people includin

the agreement kind of fell apart because president yanukovich advocated.ere's a certain amount of ad-libbing we really had no executive authority. at that point, yanukovich saturday accepted the resignation of his prime minister who i believe have been on to moscow. it basically took the steps did including the active president. i agree i think this is all consistent with the parliamentary rules and ukraine. it does underscore the importance of underscoring the presidential election in may and having it be free and fair in the way that gives ukrainian account and that we now have a democratically elected leader who then having to correct legitimacy but the acting president does not. getting that is very, very important. >> co not come at, how is this affecting prospects for that? >> they talk about the confederation with russia. so there's two different ways that question could be answered. the most to get a qualification, there is discussion about turning ukraine into a federation that is happening right now that's being pushed from russia and one solutio

ukrainians were very emphatic that they were unhappy with the yanukovich government. it's terribly -- it was terribly corrupt and a good number of ukrainians wanted tighter ties, economic ties with europe. so i don't think the u.s. can be blamed for that. and i think that russia and the kremlin really underestimated the reaction that would come from their moving into crimea. i don't think it was such a wise thing, even though it's quite clear that putin's motivation was to show that russia does not tolerate easily what it perceives of as the west and the u.s., in particular, trying to influence events in states that were formerly a part of the soviet union. >> ifill: most americans watching the olympics and the chinese-sochi spectacle a few weeks ago were puzzled putin would make this effort to tarnish his reputation so quickly. is there something behind this that made this inevitable? >> most americans have been shocked at what happened. it's so clear the white house and most experts in washington have been shocked. i don't understand why they have been shocked. the

a lot of focus will be on yanukovich.is likely a situation of wide spread ripping off of the country. we guarantee yanukovich isn't the only one. finding stolen assets is going to be something they're going to need help with and the u.s. is offering technical assistance on. and, also, possibly and they weren't very clear about this in the fact sheet put up by the white house. when it comes to russia doing some kind of punitive action, when it comes to trade against ukraine, it's pretty likely. we already know they're going to raise natural gas prices and they're going to force them to pay arrears. steve was just reporting that. there's going have to be be a technical offset, financial offset to help them out on that. this is still pretty small, guys. ultimately the big money will have to come from the imf and also the western partners in the western europe. >> are you willing, michelle, so to say we've moved from a military threat now to your more run of the mill emerging market debt threat? >> yet today, i think putin wa

>> i don't know if he was embarrassed by yanukovich, but it's basically they lost the battle to keep ukraine from orienting toward and associating with europe in the west and he was going to try to leverage and disrupt that in any way that he can. you know, the fact is -- and the russians understand this -- yanukovich is not coming back to ukraine, and his own party won't have him there. so you have a situation where you have an interim government and they set a date for elections and seems to be a sensible way to proceed. in all events, a response can't be that because you disagree with events in a sovereign country that, in fact, it provides you with any sort of legal basis on which to bring your troops into that country without that country's permission and occupy a portion of it. you know, that's obviously not called for and, indeed, putin had a number of other ways he could have gone, if he was really worried about the protection of minorities, he could have entered in negotiations with the ukrainian government, he could have asked for monitors to come in, he could have built a

putin was critical of yanukovich saying i would not handle it like this. his position at home is strong from the 1990's. i presided over coming into his second decade this is what you get if you miss manage the situation. but without any kind of purpose to overthrow the government. the vast majority wi the eastern parts of the ukraine but what we are arguing about and on the ground i find it meaningless because it gets out in the immediate is the one size depiction. said right now putin operating from strength while he has a bump in the ratings in a position of strength. he does not do it for us but for his political base at home. but crimea is a popular symbol it is something that russia lost. not just a territory or a vacation destination it is all about speakers. their left from the of russian federation in even the baltic states are feeling nervous because of the past there has been a lot of questions about the russian speakers or those local elites who also spoke russian about their fate and disposition so this is about the soviet union but what the b
