they would like to see ukraine federallized. essentially the central government weaken substantially, the regons empowered in a way that makes them almost autonomous what this suggests is the kremlin realizes it doesn't have a pro russia candidate that can win in the may 25th presidential elections in ukraine. right now there was a strong pro european sentiment coming off more than three months of civic unrest in kiev, in the ousting of former president yanukovych so, the kremlin which has many serious interests in ukraine has always looked to have a strong hand of influence over the country. a they are seeing it doesn't have a candidate it can count on as an ally that can win. so the next step seems to be a strategy by which essentially the government in kiev without become very weak. the region was become much stronger. we also know that by an exing crimea one of the side effects was that russia lost a million and a half or more pro russia voters from any national election in ukraine. >> woodruff: you have been mentioning the
