[20 Feb 2014] The Debate - Ukraine Political Crisis (P.2) - English
Ukraine crisis is getting to the close to the point of no return: Is this the beginning of a civil war in Ukraine? The violence indicates it\'s getting there: 67 people killed in the past 3 days including 13 police officers, 39 people on Thursday alone. What forces are at play pushing this violence? Is there a coup attempt? Why and how did some of the protesters gain their arms? The European Union foreign ministers have agreed to impose sanctions on Ukrainian individuals suspected of violence against anti-government protesters with Russia calling it blackmail, sending in a mediator: is all of this over joining the EU, or is it about pulling Ukraine out of Russia\'s sphere? Is Ukraine the US-Russia Cold War chessboard? Lot\'s of questions coming up in this edition of the debate.
