Tonight on 360, after weeks of tough talk and a day before new sanctions are supposed to hit,

the president eases up on Vladimir Putin. The question is why. Also tonight, the latest on new

so does the president's recent talk about getting tough on his Russian counterpart, some of it just in a matter of hours.

So would you think that means?

They would like to meet with me and I'll do whatever I can to stop the killing.

The president was also asked about this demand, which also seems to be going by the wayside.
