REZA SAYAH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, and I think that could be interpreted by Moscow as a provocative move by Washington and NATO. Indeed this is an annual exercise that takes place every year in western Ukraine. It was scheduled to take place a couple of months ago, NATO postponed it because of the conflict. It was agreed it would happen later this month in September. That means American troops will be on the ground in western Ukraine outside of the conflict zone. We're eager to see what Moscow's reaction is to that.</s>JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: Reza Sayah for us. Thanks so much for clearing it up. It sounds like as far as a cease-fire goes, it's maybe. Check back in Friday.</s>MICHAELA PEREIRA, CNN ANCHOR: Check back in Friday and maybe the framework is there for something concrete. That's the hope.</s>BERMAN: Let's hope. From Ukraine now to the U.S. strategy in the fight against ISIS. President Obama vows he wants to destroy and degrade the group. He also later said he wants to make them a manageable threat. Are his words strong enough?</s>BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We will not forget and that our reach is long and that justice will be served.
