>> petro poroshenko has made these claims on countless occasions before, and russia continues to deny that it has any active servicemen and women on ukrainian territory. president putin has been ardent in stressing that he describes any russian citizen out in that area of eastern ukraine and as being a volunteer. that's not to say that they may not have been a servicemen or woman or soldier before, but he's keen to stress that yes they are volunteers at best. it's interesting that in the last week or so, russia here has passed a new law that makes the deaths of a soldier during peace time special operations a state secret and there are some analysts here saying that is an indication of the kremlin trying to hide something. we were down on want border earlier this week and certainly saw a lot of russian military equipment, a lot of troops down there. the russians saying that they were part of a russian military exercises, saying that they have a right to do these exercises anywhere on their territory they like but certainly the military analysts that we spoke to after that said that wa

petro poroshenko said they should be prepared for full-skill invasion by the russian army.clear there's a lot of urgency to his russia ukraine situation here and it's timely that g-7 leaders are meeting here. but the question still is, are sanctions in place, which will run out pretty soon whether they'll be extended or whether they'll be ramped up. and such as canada for example, such as the eu counsel president saying they need to be ramped up. seeing more coming from ukraine ease up. others saying maybe they should be extended but those are the countries where there's a lot more at stake, economically, such as lit,italy, for example. italy has had a really good relationship with the russian president over the last couple of months out there this entire crisis. in fact this week the russian president, mr. putin is scheduled to visit mr. ramsey in rome. we spoke to the canadian prime minister mr. harper yesterday, and we asked him what his message was for those leaders who do have a good relationship with him. >> i think there are occasions on which other leaders will enga

host: when the ukrainian leadership was in the united states last week, you had petro poroshenko writinge "wall street journal" an editorial saying, ukraine once you go to direction you are talking about. why choose "the wall street journal?" is it not only a political move to act for the united states to support ukraine politically but also "wall street journal" audience saying invest in us? guest: i can't say why he selected "the wall street journal" but it comes when the finance minister is here and they have to restructure their debt. there is certainly a great deal of hedge funds that have a big stake in how the debt negotiations go, so it could be a message to the markets. again, what the west is trying to do is do it as cheaply as possible. the u.s. extended $2 billion in loan guarantee for financial and technical assistance. it will not be enough. we are at this moment of transition where we are really going to go and help ukraine survive this or are we trying to do the minimal and help for the best? what the president needs is the west to go all out and really help him help his
