kiev. it's stephen it's interesting if we if we look at nato expansion and it ends up being kind of like a chicken in the egg situation because if russia is the threat do you want to expand nato but if it isn't a threat you know if you expand it you do create a russia that is extremely anxious about it a vast military complex moving towards its border i mean it you know it what do what should the world expect from a country like russia that he has had a history of being a major power still is an important power in the world and almost that it has this military apparatus right at its very border and we have this ukraine crisis where john pointed out there in it with the coup in kiev which means you legal in my mind that is a red line that the kremlin said look we can't trust these people these people live openly lie now you see the problem here peter is and i'm going to retreat into my vocation as a historian is that john is absolutely right this began. the push that's now come to shove in the one nine hundred ninety s. a historian will say to you wait a minute i know this doesn't go down w

put the airborne radar that looks hundreds of miles forward, flying over kiev, let's say and look into the battle zone and that would be a strong signal to russia that it should stop. yes, you can do more sanctions built putin is not deterred by sanctions. he's not turned back by sanctions. he actually likes the sanctions because the people who are trading with the west are potentially his adversaries at home, the sanctions hurt them directly and they have to come to him for help. he likes that. it gives him more power. the sanctions have played their role but further sanctions may be in order, but they are not going to be decisive. what would be a decisive is a nato peace keeping proposal that would call for an immediate cease-fire that put nato forces on the border of ukraine to assure there's no more intervention. let the russians pull back out and broker some kind of political arrangement whereby the separatists can go back to russia. and the ukrainians who are in eastern ukraine can participate in the parliamentary elections that are forthcoming. i think that's the strong option.

. >> ok, this convoy coming in, which is a slap in the face for kiev -- earlier in the week, it looked like the ukrainian military were pushing back the separatists. are we seeing the momentum in this conflict changing now? >> at least that is what officials here in kiev fear. in the last days, as you said, the ukrainian army was reportedly gaining ground in the separatist strongholds of luhansk and donetsk, and many people i talk to assume that is the reason for russia to give the convoy the green light right now, to prevent the ukrainian army to continue its operation. at the same time, there are reports that russia is continuing to supply the separatists with weapons and military hardware, and there are reports that russia is directing its troops near the ukrainian border. reports, we have to say it, which are very difficult to be confirmed from here. >> thank you very much for that update. well, what would a political solution for the ukraine conflict look like? it's hoped the leaders of russia and ukraine will try to answer that question when they sit down together tuesday in bela

situation which is why russia says this convoy of 280 trucks is so critical, but the concern here in kiev is they look at these trucks. they feel it's going to be very difficult to inspect the full contents of all of them in a timely manner, and with crimea on the minds of lawmakers here, there are some in ukraine who accuse russia of painting their military trucks white and possibly trying to smuggle arms in to assist these rebels as they fight the ukrainian soldiers, errol. >> so we're all kind of wondering as those trucks approach ukraine. it was around this time yesterday, will, in fact that you updated us on the news that the red cross said we don't know anything about this and of course ukraine and russia both need to agree on this exchange of trade if it is to happen. we're seeing some of the footage of these trucks covered with white materials. some trying to analyze what's in them because of the shapes of what's bulging out. what is russia saying about this convoy on the heels of the aid organization saying they don't know anything about it? >> yeah. russia insists that it's a peaceful convoy
