dot -- but europe has done in some measure what it should do in order to help ukraine economically and politically. the united states -- perhaps the questions are asked about how you rate president obama's performance, how you would look at the question of weaponization. here is the predictable result in the breakdown within ukraine to be observed. mainly obama is doing a strong plurality and the question of arming ukraine is given a strong plurality with particular infinity as of the west and in the north. it is however not as strong as this european accent that i've reported before. another incident of clear-eyedness and perhaps cynicism is given the long march to even get to where we are today is that the rejection of the previous president and the understanding that it was a corrupt regime and it has a fairly strong rating on the score from one to ten a little over eight in the view of most ukrainians that it was very corrupt. however, it is also a judgment made about the present government. only slightly less corrupt than the past regime. and that's true in the east for their regime's as well as the nort

my second point is ukraine is more united than ever in the face of russia and my third point is one that i think we will elaborate on more and that is the ukrainians have not forgotten crimea and we shouldn't either. so ukraine has decided that its future is in europe. steven asked, if it were up to you which course should ukraine take? 47% of all of the ukrainians surveyed, including those i would say in the "separatist" held supported by the russians including a 47% would prefer stronger relations with the eu. 13% would prefer stronger relations with the russians. so 47% for the eu and 13% for strong relations with russia. that is the first data point that i would pull out. the second one is 72% of all of the ukrainians surveyed would find it either acceptable or tolerable to move closer to the eu. 60% would find it unacceptable to move closer to the russians. again a strong indication of which direction they would prefer. when you talk to them about joining the 67% would find it either acceptable or tolerable. 67% of all surveyed. that includes the separatists and the east and the sou

our security cooperation with ukraine dates back to 1992. the united states provides ukraine with education, military training, support for border control, communications. the corruption of the regime starved the armed services. the neglect of the armed forces did not strip them of their professionalism or determination to fight. since the beginning of the crisis, the united states has increased security in the ukraine. we have committed $118 million to training systems and national guard services. we will dedicate another $120 million for state department security programs. we have identified needs and priorities. we continue to assess how to maximize the impact of our assistance. key areas include medical support and personal protective year. -- year -- we are also conducting continuing long-standing exercise such as rapid trident to increase interoperability for peace member nations. the most recent iteration included a multinational field training exercise, saw the participation of 15 countries and 3000 personnel. other measures remain under active

ukraine has been a strong partner of the united states and nato since independence and our security cooperation with ukraine dates back to 1992. during this period, the united states provided ukraine with military training professional education, communications equipment and support for border control and counterproliferation efforts. unfortunately the corruption of the regime starved the armed forces of resources. the neglect of the armed forces by the regime did not strip the military of its professionalism or its determination to fight. since the beginning of the crisis, the united states has increased its security assistance to ukraine. we have committed, as you know $118 million in material and training assistance to the military, and national guard and border guard service. under eri, we will dedicate at least another $120 million including $45 million for state department security assistance programs. our assistance has been consistent with identified ukrainian needs and priorities and vetted by our country team and flag level commission that continues to assess how to maximize the effec

ukraine is rational. visiting fellow at the watson institute for international studies. steven thank you for joining us. in this op ed you go on to write, quote before the united states sends weapons or military advisors to ukraine we should stop to consider how we would react if russia did that in mexico or canada. end quote. explain this to me, why are you defending putin? >> in the first place i'm not defending putin at all. i'm trying to understand his motives. i like to justify the world where all states are legally equally and they don't interfere in each other's affairs. strategic depth means you don't want to have your enemy right on your border. so you want to have some control, official or unofficial, over the countries in your neighborhood. this is what the united states did for more than a century, any country in central america or the caribbean could tell you that those countries are not truly free to shape their own foreign policy. that's the reality for a small country living right next oa big country. you have to take into account what that big powrt wants. that's not fair that's not just but that's the way of the world and that's the way russi

first an update on ukraine. the unitedimposed sanctions on pro-russian separatists and announces more non-lethal aid for the ukrainian governme government. the u.s. also accuses russian-backed rebels of breaking a cease-fire agreement. the announcement issued by the u.s. government says the united states has frozen assets of eight pro-russian separatists and a russian organization recruiting fighters. three officials including a close aide to former ukrainian

ukraine. i think without any doubt we can all agree on one point. that is that the united states must take the lead. i believe the administration should fully implement measures in the ukraine freedom support act which the president signed into law in december of 2014. it passed with unanimous consent in both houses of congress. it authorizes the president to provide much-needed military and humanitarian need to ukraine and poses additional sanctions against russia. it is necessary in december, and necessary today. we all want a diplomatic solution. i believe this can only come about when pputin believes that the cost continuing to ravage ukraine is too high. given the ukrainians to see russians coming, but not the weapons to stop them is not the answer. night vision goggles are one thing, but providing antitank and empty armor weapons secure communications equipment would be much better. it is my view that it is time to start targeted sanctions on the energy sector it has already cost russia about 140 many of -- $140 million a year. i think the last thing we want to do is

six months ago, the president of the ukraine stood in this very chamber and while thanking the united states for our assistance so far asked for defensive weapons to enable ukraine to defend itself against superior forces. pointedly he told both houses of congress, quote, one cannot win a war with blankets, end quote. which is what we are providing. earlier this month, members met with first deputy speaker of the ukrainian parliament who said that his country urgently needs anti-take weapons such as the javelin radar to pinpoint enemy fire, and communications equipment to overcome russian jamming. ukrainian forces cannot match the advanced equipment that russia is pouring into eastern ukraine. there is no shortage of the will to fight, only a shortage of testifiesive weapons. legal -- of defensive weapons. legal authority of such assistance was made crystal clear by the congress in december by passing the ukraine freedom support act and top administration officials, including secretary of defense carter and chairman dempsey of the joint chiefs of staff have indicated support. indeed t

traveling often to ukraine and covering a lot of the buildup to the conflict and the news that we are all following right now. this is such an important question as to how the united states and the west should deal with this crisis and specifically the topic we'll be covering this morning whether the west should arm ukraine there have been so many lives lost and i think as we have conversations about the diplomacy and the politics it's so important to keep that in mind. i'm reminded of voices we heard on the air this week on our program. we spoke a woman a couple days a ago who does aid work in donetsk and was describing the cold war era bunkers where families have been hiding for weeks and weeks on end and when minsk too, went into effect or was supposed to there were people who were coming out just for an hour or two at a time this wassing this was a moment when perhaps people could light fires in their homes to warm them because there was that level of optimism that they would be home soon. and then the violence has really raged on. katarina told us that her own apartment was shelled and her friend would have been killed when she was sitting on a couch had she

by equipping ukraine with the means to impose a greater military cost on russia, the united states will be contributing to a quicker, fairer and more stable settlement of the conflict. but our support for ukraine must go beyond simply imposing cost on russia. ukraine's foreign currency reserves have diminished to a month's worth of imports. ukrainian currency lost 80% of the value since april 2014 and economy continues to teeter on the brink of collapse. the same time while i believe the government in kiev is generally committed to reform, more needs to be done by the ukrainian authorities to move forward with these reforms, especially in the energy sector where corruption siphons billions of dollars away from the budget each year. even if the united states does more to help ukraine, and kiev defeats the russian-backed rebels, but the ukrainian economy implodes in the process we have failed and putin succeeded. he's had an even greater success if that occurs. this is why the united states must have a comprehensive strategy that will both counter russian aggression, but also drive politi

ukraine's right to defend itself. and, as you know, earlier today, the white house announced the united states will be providing ukraine with an additional $75 million in nonlethal security assistance, as well as over 200 humvees. this brings u.s. security assistance to ukraine to a total of nearly $200 million with the new funds going towards unmanned aerial vehicles, improved surveillance, a variety of radios and other secure communications equipment counter mortar radars, military ambulances, first aid kits, and other medical supplies. this new security assistance is in addition to our ongoing training exercises in eastern europe, to reinforce and reassure our nato allies. beginning this weekend next, equipped and personnel from the army's first grade -- or gate third infantry division -- the army's first brigade third infantry division will be there to train with resolve. since russia's aggression began last year, the united kingdom has also stepped up militarily contributed to nato's baltic air policing mission and serving as a framework nation for nato's very high readiness to task force -- high readiness joint t

united states. so i think that's where you may see the reaction at a grassroots level. lou: and ambassador whether we're talking about u.s. middle east policy or u.s. and nato policy toward the russians and ukraine, there has seemingly overwhelmed this president, and his administration, a view that somehow the united states is entitled to dictating political outcomes geopolitically. that there is no nation no conflict beyond our reach or interests into which we have not intercede, intervene and take an active even military role. that is it seems to me in a dangerous extension of u.s. foreign policy? >> it's not too late lou, to pull back on some of these things and for cooler heads to prevail. israel's our best friend in the middle east. it's a democratic country. we have this historic relationship with them, and i'm sure we can get back onto that path, but i think it's going to require a conscious effort on the part of both sides. now that the israelis had the election, maybe this is a time to have a reset of the way things have been going in recent weeks. lou: even though resets under this administration have unfortunately had poor results. >> it was the most convenient term i could think of u
