House Intel chairman: Putin is '3 for 3' on his goals

(CNN) – Russia's recent military movement in Crimea is an attempt to further destabilize Ukraine, says the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

"Their sole purpose, I think, at this point is to show destabilization for a period of time, especially going into the winter months which would advantage Russia when it comes to the energy," said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Michigan.

While Rogers says it is unlikely another land grab from Russia is imminent, leader Vladimir Putin is "flexing his muscles at a time when he thinks there's confusion in U.S. policy."

"A few years ago he had three really big objectives: one, to keep Georgia out of NATO; two, to keep Ukraine out of NATO and leaning west; and (three), pushing back on missile defense," said Rogers.

"In his mind now, he's three for three," he said.
