KATE BOLDUAN, CNN ANCHOR: They were hurting the Russian economy, but they sure are not slowing Vladimir Putin. So, what can be done to turn his direction?</s>REP. MARCY KAPTUR (D), OHIO: Well, sanctions are long term. We need short-term actions that help the Ukrainian people defend themselves, and against the Russian military, that is a very great hope. But I do believe with a bill that I've introduced, along with Congressman Gurlock of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a bill that would allow military supplies to be provided as well as intelligence capabilities. I think that that's something that we should support. We have equipment coming out of Afghanistan. I think it would be very easy for this to happen. The Ukrainians have to fight their own battle, again, against Russian forces without intelligence. It's very, very difficult, and my goodness, they didn't even have equipment to stop tanks that were coming over their border. So, Europe left them defenseless. The NATO structure was not effective in terms of allowing nations like Ukraine to easily come into a security umbrella. I think we need that new security umbrella. I think it will involve nations like Estonia, obviously nations like Poland and hopefully Ukraine. There was always a division in Ukraine as to whether or not the political parties there wanted to support accession to NATO. There was also a reluctance on Europe's part to take on some of the economic and military and social challenges of Ukraine, but this is one of those moments in history where that kind of decision has to be made.</s>BOLDUAN: This is a moment in history. It sure absolutely feels like it this morning. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, thank you very much for your time. Thank you very much.</s>KAPTUR: Thank you.</s>BOLDUAN: OK. The video of Steven Sotloff's beheading, we're going to continue to talk about this. It may hold clues to the man who killed him and another American journalist James Foley what. Can be learned from that video?
