7:05 pm
greedy spirit to go eat their knee you name it police deal very roofless sleep with will demonstrate this especially if these demonstrations against the austerity which is imperialist on these nations by brussels and for these same people to go and tell the ukrainian government that they are heavy handed with their demonstrate this is just hypocrisy. ukraine's presidential elections coming in early two thousand and fifteen and the e.u. plans to revisit the agreement sometime during that year he have says it wasn't offered much economic support from the e.u. but the block has stated that its position it won't change our case paul scott takes a look at how the deal fell apart. a moment of power allowed access to the ukrainian president viktor yana cold which comes face to face with e.u. leaders for the first time since stilling one historic trade deal the whole thing caught on camera. i. think.
7:06 pm
it's clear that he has decision to hold for seedings has rankled elite is flowing ease of negotiations the e.u. sense is outside the us we have to set aside short political calculations. and we may not give in to external pressure know the least from russia on a cause that says the financial deal also isn't large enough to prevent damage to ukraine's flailing economy of course neither ukrainian businesses nor the government have this amount of money or will have any time soon that's why ukraine is not ready to take responsibilities he's not capable of fulfilling yet knowing so where does this leave the situation ukraine's proposals for trying not to hold

talks with russia were rejected by the e.u. or brussels finances may not allow them to increase the offer to kiev look at the european union massive run called employment throughout the course of the entire union they have a euro currency project which is a fiasco realistically the only thing the european union can try to do is keep blame storming anybody russia who cares because the european union is ultimately falling apart at the same so a you depart vilnius contemplating what might have been despite coaching president on a coach they simply seemed unable to offer him a deal that was tempting enough scots vilnius lithuania. not just ukraine's government that wasn't sold on prospects for the e.u. more young people in the bloc are joining far right movements which are often seen
