ukraine as a real prize. and i know a friendly government in ukraine to the united states of course is better than a government that's friendly to russia and i think you know the e.u. has behaved. really started this crisis by saying it's all or nothing for ukraine and i think you know ukraine really has to nestle between the two blocks and it also has to have autonomy in the east simply because of the political situation there whether we'll get to that point i don't know but certainly there is a tug of war there to try to. ukraine from the russian influence you know markets it's very interesting i've been said something that i think is absolutely right is that you know the european union is uncompromising this government in kiev is uncompromising no negotiations in this is this is insanity here and this is what's causing all of these deaths you know pushing all mention decentralization federalization that's been talked about for months now all of a sudden he talks about it is effectively his own idea absolut

should begins in ukraine keep in groups. a very large part of the ukrainian population has roots in russia has family in russia works in russian speaks russian it is in it is in symbiosis with russia and cannot exist in opposition to russia neither economically nor socially what is interesting and i think people are missing is the fact that poroshenko who did said who did poor shane can send to represent ukraine here mr kuchma now this seems to be a way if he is looking to cut a deal which may that please the hard right i would say fascist sections in the public sector. then it would be ideal for cushman to sign that deal because the end portion could sort of wash hands of it and say well it wasn't me so they do need to find some sort of solution in time it's not working for them russia has a lot more time to let this play out no question what do you think about that very interesting character he basically created a ukraine run by oligarchy that's his greatest legacy but he didn't shoot anybody or at least in the not too man

much for the parent state of the ukraine economy is what ukraine is also acting mounted for is lowering one of gas that it did buy and really proud so there is a great deal of open. verses and bones of contention between jews and others it seemed a package deal was not possible sure ok look it we're not it can be very much for giving us your analysis that they had man got professor of political science at in the brook university thank you i think. now as well as ramifications for ukraine europe could also thought over refusal to pay its way and it's been argued that russia's interests are at stake too earlier i discussed the consequences for all parties with. i mean we've heard here that ukraine has been calling on europe to reduce its reliance on russian gas supplies is that possible at all well in fact it's one of the four major misconceptions in this entire gas rhetoric so this is number one yes ukraine says europe's let go of russian gas not buying it but if you look at the map you'll understand that european dependency on russian gas is pretty heavy and in order to lead go russian

hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle divisions within ukraine are becoming greater with each passing day the western backed regime in camp shows no interest in compromise or negotiations at the same time civilians in the east continue to die of going for broke. to cross-talk the crisis in ukraine i'm joined by my guest michael shank in washington he's an associate director at the friends committee on national legislation in berlin we have many well oxen writer he's a journalist editor and reporter and in moscow we cross to ben heiress he's the editor in chief of business new europe all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage it but if i go to you first here in moscow the ukrainian president can't seem to take the answer yes over the last few weeks and months there been overtures coming from russia to do deescalate the situation in eastern ukraine to stop the violence and at the same time russia's gas promise offered ukraine the same price for gas that it did for unocal which

it comes as the country's fascist no go quote door to door in eastern ukraine if anyone is. when they are beaten all shocks the holocaust memorial museum reports right off the coming to power to stop or agents went from door to door they arrested those who had spoken out against the nazi party some were murdered also stephen leatherman brute to give the leading experts in your book flashpoints in ukraine so explain some of the horrors taking place in the country so it's a lemon joins us great to speak to you how has the actual situation become rabbis hearing a case something very serious breaks out the idea of simple cloakroom if you just use one of the rabbi said we're seventy one in one community he said we have seventy buses if you will and ready to go and he'll have cities which is what they are in ukraine today literally descendants. of the mass east of the early here one of the leaders can be true oh yeah roche a cold blooded killer. him say publicly he posted a warning thank you don't you lose your lead eyes i'm sure which if i was in ukraine and what i know about nan

ukraine has to be supported. if ukraine doesn't resist, if internal order persists in capacity to organize effective national defense, doesn't transpire, then the ukraine problem will result unilaterally. probably with concentrate believe effects that will destabilize the states and the totality of the relationships. the forces of a world definition would become more striden. they do represent the most negative aspects of a russian society. a kind of thirst for nationalism for self-fulfill. gratification of the exercise of power. something which is not pervasive in the class which is a long range alternative. if ukraine does have to be supported so it does exist, the ukraine has to help to exist. there's no secret. it is much better to be open about it. to say to the ukrainians and those who threaten ukraine, that you exist, you will have weapons. we'll provide some of those weapons in advance of the very act of invasion. in the absence of that, the temptation to invade may become overwhelming. what kind of weapo

a pretty tough ultimatum, a one-month ultimatum on ukraine.ow is that going down in the kremlin? >> it is not going down too well. russia is quite impressed by the threat of sanctions because they do not want their economy to be hurt, and that is why they have now toned down and are open for this dialogue, whatever that will come to, but they still seem to hope that europe will influence the u.s. because he europe, as we heard, has much more business interests in russia, and it could be that putin still hopes that he can divide and conquer the situation when he is now just acting a bit more friendly towards ukraine. >> you mentioned is diplomatic offensive that vladimir putin is on right now. what kind of backing does the russian president have at home for his policy on ukraine? >> he has a very strong backing up the moment, ever since the ukrainian crisis started, his approval ratings have just been skyrocketing. independent surveys confirm that about 85% of russians support putin. also interestingly, since the start of the year, hostility to

ukraine has to help ukraine. this is the chance for them to take responsibility for their future and i do think that many ukrainians with whom we spoke get that. i think there are five things that the president this saturday needs to do. one is go to east ukraine and tell the folks there -- he said he's going to do this -- he favors some form of decentralization that is consistent with one ukraine and that he wants them to serve in his government. the acting -- the current acting president was in east ukraine the other day and i thought i was a gooitwas a good move. second, include the crowd that the demonstrated so bravely over six months in the new governme government. some of them want to serve and to some of the current government were in there and this has to be a different movie from egypt. the people who were brave and courageous and wanted to change their country have to be included in the government. government. and force anticorruption law. there are some on the books as they need to be stronger make th

it did lead to the current crisis in ukraine. russia is clearly unhappy and disagrees with the pact. >> absolutely. vladimir putin did not want those three countries to sign these agreements with the european union. he wants them to sign his eurasian economic pact that he signed with pakistan and belarus and pressuring others to sign. they decided to take the european path and not go with him. awareropean union is well of pressure from moscow. they've started meeting with ministers of economic development from russia and ukraine to make sure the implementation of the agreement is going ok. they have a special meeting in july. this agreement did not happen overnight. this has been a process of seven long years of negotiations between the european union and these three countries. russia has had a lot of time to impactsterms with the unless influence -- and the lesser influence putin will have as they become closer to the european union in. inwe will be checking back with you as we wait for poroshenko to speak in the coming hour. i

on to ukraine and the e.u. has to pay for it now not in terms of the blame but it has to how pure crame through these very difficult transition i'm asking you whether the european union is prepared to how to create not just with the advice but with money with hard cash with the industries that market opportunities well you know the european union people who want to join people who want to be part of people who want to have a certain relationship this is not just by chance and i wouldn't just put examples but to this is not true of all the or all the be countries that could act as spall of attractiveness there is no attractiveness of there the european union has and this is based on results i think that this is what is common sense and everybody knows the european union we can be up to the the challenger's and up to the to do what the agreements that we have with ukraine and once more let's just call it the big issue the big issue behind my done behind all this is that the ukraine. i want a better governance and

and -- ukraine has to help ukraine. this is the transfer ukrainians to take responsibility for their future. many ukrainians get that. i think there are five things that president poroshenko needs to do. ukraine and east tell the folks there. he says he is going to do this. he favors some form of decentralization that is ukraine and he wants them to serve in his government. the current acting president turchynov was in east ukraine year the day, and i thought that was a good move. the crowd that demonstrated in newone so bravely in the government, some of them want to serve, some of the current government members, this has to be a different movie from egypt. the people who were brave and courageous and wanted to change their country have to be included in the government. third, and force the anticorruption laws. there are some on the books and if they need to be stronger make them stronger. it is true that poroshenko is himself an oligarch, as are most of the folks in senior leadership positions in ukraine, but this is

too much in ukraine and he's criticized for doing too little in ukraine but i think from the russian perspective there's a much longer plan to watch as we watch things unfold in ukraine go ahead yes putin is playing the long game but we've got to realize there is a thousand year relationship between ukraine and russia russia should begins in ukraine even reuss. a very large part of the ukrainian population has roots in russia has family in russia works in russian speaks russian it is in it is in symbiosis with russia and cannot exist in opposition to russia neither economically nor socially what is interesting and i think people are missing is the fact that poor shape who didn't say who did poor shane can send to represent ukraine here mr kuchma now this seems to be a way if he is looking to cut a deal which may that please the hard right i would say fascist sections in the private sector. then it would be ideal for cushman to sign that deal because then poor soup of washes hands of it and say well it wasn't me so they do need to find some sort of solution and time is not working for
