putin could understand that there are red lines, bridges to cross from which you cannot come back from. um, he does hope that putin doesn t cross those. um, he is concerned about it but i think it it paints that picture that there is still the potential there for president putin to back off, and not be entirely alienated and made a pariah from the international community, although many nations around the table, at nato, at the g7, at the at the european at the european council leaders summit today, many nations may feel that. but that is not potentially a united position, yet. there is scope for president putin to back off now, all thou no indication whatsoever that he is going to do it, hala. thanks very much, nic robertson, live in brussels. i will have a lot more from lviv, ukraine, at the top of the hour. but firste, let s go to john vause in atlanta. hala, thank you.
