This is John Batchel, a conversation with John Bolton, former National Security Advisor,

about the word ceasefire, about the word peacekeeper.

John very much identifies peacekeeping and cease firing as an opportunity for the aggressor,

in this case Russia, to gain ground and define the battlefield.

John Bolton on peacekeeping, cease firing.

More of this tonight. Well, nobody's willing to say that. They haven't thought it through enough,

but these are very critical questions that you're raising that could, even though they seem like merely interim temporary arrangements, these kinds of things

have a way of being frozen in time.

So, Ukrainian, further Ukrainian withdraws from their own territory to help create a demilitarized

zone are just protecting the Russian aggression.

And the way that the peacekeeping force operates is also extremely important.

And again, not well defined by the Europeans in particular who keep calling for peacekeepers.
