ukraine. the secretary of state, john kerry, is on his way to paris after meeting with the new ukrainian government in kievearlier today. both he and president obama made it clear in statements just a little while ago, they are united with the new government in ukraine and they're ready to stand with the ukrainian people against russia. adding to the tensions in crimea, now occupied by thousands of russian troops are reports russian warships have blocked the narrow kerch strait between crimea and russia. and president putin denied there are any russian troops in crimea. he said 22,000 armed forces there are, quote, self defense teams. with this action in ukraine's peninsula, vladimir putin appears to be displaying a dangerous double standard, especially after lecturing the united states and its allies about the use of military force. brian todd is covering this part of the story for us. so what do you see? >> well, wolf, it wasn't that long ago he lectured the u.s. and its allies by using military force. a few months ago after the syrian chemical weapons attack and the u.s. considering a military strike on

right now john kerry is in kiev, ukraine, just a few hours, ago, in fact. and less than an hour ago, spoke, saying that russia's reasons for going into ukraine just simply are not valid. and then president obama spoke. shooting down russia's reasons for going into the ukraine, as well, saying there is no evidence of serious threats against nationals that president putin says is the reason for sending his troops next door. president putin said russia is not trying to claim crimea. he did this in a live news conference earlier. he also denied that russia's military is even playing a role at all. let me repeat that. president putin on live television said that russia's military is not in crimea. i know you've been watching the pictures alongside the rest of the world, and you just shook your head when i said that. but he said if russia does take any action, any action it would take would be completely legitimate because he says it's in line to protect people with historic ties to russia and that crimea is a heavily russian area of ukraine. president putin decla

the interim government that seized power last week in kiev, ukraine's capitol, is teetering dangerously close to financial default. there is a real history of this stuff. in 2009 russia shut off ukraine's gas for two weeks over a dispute over payments. that just worsened an already ailing ukrainian economy. the gas cuts helped sink output by 25%. remember, it's used to run factories. ukraine depends on russia for most of its energy needs and used to enjoy discounts on the price it paid for natural gas until this week. any possible energy cut off could cripple a country that depends on gas to heat its homes and power its factories. meanwhile russia appears to be tightening it's grip on crimea, the autonomous peninsula on the black sea. ukrainian sources now tell al jazeera an estimated 30,000 russian troops deployed throughout the contested region, and today some of those troops took control of the ukrainian military post there. one day after crimeaen lawmakers voted to join themselves to russia, leaders of both houses of russia's parliament said that they would welcome crimea joining th
