russian state media quoting demetri peskov, vladimir putin's spokesperson said if the ukrainians want to speak about neutrality of their country, we would be prepared to send a delegation to meet ukrainian delegates in the belarusian city of minsk, the capital city of that neighboring country to the north of ukraine and a close kremlin ally, of course. the issue of neutrality is a very controversial one but we heard from ukrainian officials in the last few minutes and they've told cnn that they are considering that kremlin proposal to sit down, have peace talks and discuss neutrality. that's an important development, jim. >> that would be an enormous concession. jaroslav, in kyiv as well. tell me about whether that is a viable means to at least a truce here because to date, that's really been the sticking issue that ukraine wants to reserve the right to associate whoever, with whomever it wants to associate including in the future of possibly joining nato. what exactly would neutrality mean? >> president zelenskyy, this issue just recently and what he said is very simple. yes, we want

full blocking sanctions also imposed on that fund as well as its ceo, carol demetri, a very significantspoke with senior administration officials on a call moments ago. they said this demonstrates that no country is sanctions-proof, saying fortress russia, as it's been called in relation to some of the moves putin has been taking, will be, quote, exposed as a myth. these officials say these actions are taking effect immediately in part because the russian central bank was already begin to move foreign currency reserves after the u.s. and allies announced on saturday they were going to be taking these actions against the russian central bank. a very significant attempt to try to mitigate the sanctions being imposed by the u.s. and its allies. >> jeremy diamond at the white house. in a little bit we'll have a thorough report on the turmoil we're seeing in the russian economy. >>> joining us now is former congressman from texas who sat on the intelligence committee, will herd. sir, it's great to have you with us this morning. as you see that putin put his nuclear deterrence forces on essen
