interesting to hear the white house now confirming john brennan's travel here.it had nothing to do with issues on the ground, part of a trip to europe. this suggestion that he gave approval for the crackdown. if he did give the green light which is what russian media alleges, there's a remarkable absence of ukraine government and military wherever you go in eastern ukraine. a brief sighting of two helicopters passing over our heads here in central donetsk probably the closest we've got to that much of the day and otherwise i've only seen two ukrainian policemen who slowly walked past the demonstrators. but this white house admission will feed into the russian machine here that's very keenly trying to focus blame upon what's happening in eastern ukraine on the west, suggesting that their desire to turn ukraine towards europe has fomented the trouble here. the ukrainians are dejected by how little support they feel they're getting from nato, from the united states at this point. appeals for more assistance have been launched by kiev. confusing times indeed, wolf.

we did just get -- that brennan was in kiev. do you think it's becoming increasingly more difficult for president obama to take a hands on approach. >> his approach so far has been interesting. we'll put sanctions but no military intervention, putting out a limitation on this. and the threat of sanctions is a real threat. if russia invades, and takes over, using whatever pretext you want, but some of the 40,000 troops on the border now cross over, then russia could face iran style sanctions, which would be very painful for russia. >> and president obama has threatened. >> it would send the eu back into crisis and have an enormous global impact beyond just losing the sliver -- this half of ukraine, it would send the russian economy into recession and probably drag down the european economy, which are starting it seems to do a little bit better. this has global implications. watch these protesters who are now in police stations in ukraine. if they start dying or being killed and the russian troops cross over, we have a global cris

miss brennan, congratulations on this scoop.s for being here. >> thanks, rachel. >> you've reported that david wildstein spent time camped out in newark last week at the federal prosecutor's offices. does that necessarily mean that he is cooperating with them? should we -- is that reason to believe that he's been granted the immunity that he was seeking? >> there is reason to think that might be the case because his lawyer said that that would be the way that he would talk about the case. but i think so you can sort of jump to that conclusion. we don't know for sure. we know that he has a ton of information to provide. clearly they're interested in calling witnesses now before the grand jury. and so they want to get his information in order to be able to question other people and decide who else they want to call. >> do we have any indication -- michael drewniak's lawyer confirmed that mr. drewniak has testified before the grand jury. we don't have confirmation that anybody else has actually testified before the grand jury yet?

also over the weekend us central intelligence agency director john brennan visited ukrainian capital kiev as tensions flared in the eastern part of the country. us officials were clear about exactly what brennan was doing it yet but the white house did confirm he was there. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov wants to know why we don't normally comment on the c i a director of travel. but given the extreme circumstances in this case and false claims being leveled by the russians at the c i a we can confirm that the director was in kyiv this weekend as part of the trip to europe. two shows this to punish those merchants she knew we would like to understand the meaning of the reports about an urgent visit to the caa director mr brennan to kiev. so far we have not been given any explanations that would be reasonable. us and ukrainian officials have accused russia of meddling in ukraine's affairs. the lever up denies this saying it's not in russia's best interest to do so. meanwhile the us state department has heard more sanctions against russia and the eu says it has expanded the lis

the russians were able to put out the information brennan was there. the united states must have known that was going to happen. what was the significance of brennan being there, especially when we knew it would leak out quite quickly? >> well, obviously i don't work for the government any more so i don't know exactly his mission, but i can tell you when i was in the government for five years at the head of the cia, including john brennan who i used to work with at the white house before he went to the cia, this is his job to go around the world, meet with his counterparts. he does this everywhere, by the way. and it's part of the regular just diplomatic work that he does with other intelligence agencies. i would not read anything into this particular trip. >> but it is not sort of play on russian fears that the u.s. is directly involved here in launching a proxy war by any means? >> well, we don't have to play on those fears. the russian television stations do that nightly, 24/7, you know, and the new term, of course, is nazis. it's a nazi-led governm

>> yeah, i don't know the wisdom of having brennan there. we ultimately don't want this to be viewed as a proxy fight between the united states and russia. but the reality is that there is a real danger to the ukrainian military and to the ukrainian civilians by having this kind of russian presence on the border of ukraine and now inside ukraine. so it is, in our interests, as a friend of ukraine, to try to give them intelligence or assistance to try to avoid bloodshed, and to the extent that we've been cooperating between our militaries or between our intelligence agencies, it's mostly been to try to avoid conflict, not to instigate it. that, i think, is an important coordination, notwithstanding the fact that it may not be super smart to have brennan in kiev, giving the impression that the united states is somehow there to fight a proxy war with russia. >> in terms of avoiding armed conflict, which i think the overwhelming participants, american citizens, onlookers, journalists, i think everyone wants to see armed conflict avoided, the pre

moments ago the white house confirmed that brennan was in kiev over the weekend, but it denies brennanontact with ukrainian officials regarding military tactics. when it comes to evidence of russian involvement, u.s. officials point to the high level of coordination of the attacks. also, the fact that many of those seen participating in the violence in the streets were outfitted with bullet proof vests and camouflage uniforms and carrying russian-made weapons. last week nato officials released satellite images which they say show close to 40,000 russian troops stationed near various points of its border with ukraine. as if that weren't enough provocation the pentagon says a russian war plane buzzed a u.s. navy ship on saturday. the white house today called that provocative and unprofessional. it said it will not be sending legal aid to the reach. four-party talks were previously scheduled to begin on thursday with the vice president headed to the region next week. so the question now, what should the u.s. do now that russia appears unwilling to negotiate? >> there have already been cos

wait and see what's going to happen the prius the visit the spying visit by the cia director john brennan the two key for us seems to be bearing fruit but in a very bad way i think that the interim regime is making a huge mistake by on leashing this force on the people in ukraine i think that it's illegitimacy is just being basically on the line by that i think they're making one mistake after another that they can buy the vibes from all the wrong people and i think that we will see the situation deteriorate if they continue this. and how do you expect western governments to react to what's happening there especially the interim government you know moving in with a military forces against its competitor it's well i think the russian government has already made its position clear by stating that the use of military force against the people in the eastern ukraine is on the accept the vote by international law i think that that was clearly made that the responsibility would lie in not only on the interim regime in kiev but only also in america and the european union i think that is the right
