that of course there's not a default western kind of position that everything that goes wrong in ukraine russia called that the very simplified way of putting the most of what was normally and sort of by any event it was really bloody on russia and it's very simply letting mainstream media is really very simplistic ok but i just want to point that out ok it's extremely i don't get it i don't hold it them politically ok go ahead young continue i mean it is about as simplistic as the plot and the top story this is about as simplistic as the points that you've made and for them you know i think we have a wonderful competition here but let's look at the facts for a moment. very clear that of the ukrainian choice but it's interesting that ukraine would willing to initial the agreement and then i'll try and. what happened in between those who had nothing to do with them all of a sudden realizing that the for the modern play of robel agreement for them that in that case it really had to do with a very very strong russian influence in the case which is the perfect really legitimate thing for the russia

in response to the things that young has said one has got to understand in talking about the ukraine that russia is there just as eastern ukrainians are there if you are going to make this work if you are going to have some kind of an association with the ukraine and the european union you have to involve russia you can't just wish russia away huge can't just wish eastern europe east ukrainians away you can't just wish the people who run the factories in the east ukraine away you have to deal with these facts and that is precisely what the european union isn't doing and by refusing to do it what it is actually doing which is very dangerous is that it is fanning sectional conflicts within the ukraine it's already gentlemen i have to jump in here gentlemen we're going to get i want to short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on ukraine stay with r.t. . we've been going. councils here in the u.k. are calling for tougher laws to police aggressive bankers finally no longer will the banker beggars be shaking us down for yet more and outs and bailouts every time we pass the

ukraine saying that we simply will not. except a trilateral negotiations with russia when both the ukraine and russia have requested it so i don't quite understand that all right we have thirty seconds left to alexander give you the last word of the program go ahead alexander london quickly we're not talking about the association agreements that the european union has with other countries we're talking about vis association agreement if the e.u. e.u. wants an association agreement with you with the ukraine which will work it has to be a workable the green and and it has to involve russia now this is simply elementary it's practical reality one can get on one's heart holes and argue otherwise but if all right merely gentlemen we have run out of time fascinating discussion many thanks to my guest today in london and brussels and here in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching a few darkie see you next time and remember a profitable. legal . war is probably the most complex and difficult human activity. i. think a phenomenon of friendly fire probably extends back to the invention of gunpowder. but if you're a bunch of p

you like to weigh in there i mean we heard outside influence i suppose that means russia anything that goes wrong in ukraine is obviously russia's fault i mean that's a fault line for ukrainian politics. well it certainly is and it's what the europeans have been saying for the ever since this decision was made now i've actually read the association agreement and i have to say i am not really convinced of that my own view is that it is a far too ambitious document it requires that ukraine is sensually to convert to all the rules of the european single market within ten years on i don't honestly see how that is practically possible and i think trying to do that would inflict an awful lot of damage on ukrainian industry and on the ukrainian economy what i think probably happened is that what i'm fairly sure happened is that mr as our of who is the prime minister had doubts about this for some time he communicated his doubts to the various industrial groups in the ukraine they came back and told mr young rich in a meeting about four weeks ago that this is simply not practical and it needs more time mr young. we

but it also means that neither russia nor ukraine would really benefit. this is a decision against reforms, against any corruption that is pervasive both in russia and ukraine, arguebly it would be worse in ukraine. >> temuri yakobashvili, you heard awful relations with the united states, and awful relations with europe. does it have to be that way? could russia have been a big power on the world stage and still have good relations with these big power centers. >> everybody including russia's neighbors, that is everybody's dreams, especially russia's neighbor's dreams that russia would be part of a bigger future. but russia is the best country to fill the vacuum. with the united states being on more defensive, or giving that impression, created the void that russians jumped in. it was in every single case being it in syria, being in the middle east, in iranian talks, ukraine, and many other places. russia is trying to fill the vacuum. that's historically how the russian empire was growing. there was a vacuum and russia was jumping in very aggressive and fi

that clearly stipulates that russia is within its own right to withdraw from the agreement if the ukraine sides with signs any trade agreements with third parties so. when you say that russia violated some laws this is actually not substantiated at this point. but look i think not to go into very close legal debate which i'm ready for i'm prepared for but i think it's just part of the of the situation part of the problem i think that both in russia and in ukraine there were there were more than enough people who were happy to exaggerate this conflict and to use the situation for both and to ukrainian or enter russian propaganda inside of the two countries so i think that clearly damage the relationship of the two countries if we want to think long term. we should find a proper solution for corporation of ukraine associated with the european union and russia and the think it's in the long term russian interests to predictable partner here in kiev well i think i would agree with you and one thing that russia and the european union definitely have in common is that they both want to have a p

all of ukraine's business ties with russia were at stake. because of the finding of the association agreement that was not the case the europeans said you can't be part of another free trade organization but ukraine has been fined a formal treaty organization that you say there is a de facto free trade organization with ukraine is a bit of a wishy washy kind of argument here because the europeans have made it clear from the very beginning that this was not supposed to threaten the business with ukraine that ukraine has with russia it's very clear that we are not playing this over here as the game as as the many many are thought of the asian agreement that the you have signed with other countries have amply demonstrated. for us as the prospect of the kind of that we bring to this as western as in large and also as another something that will create benefit for all sides involved the ones that were threatened and threatened with the russians because it's very clear that undermined the real political business plan in the region and and that is a

of the political crisis in ukraine that's the person who put the relationship between ukraine and russia into a very dangerous situation and that's the person who put the relationship between ukraine to be there have been union into this wary of mass that we can see it and so this that's why going back to the beginning of conversation most of the ukrainians feel that this man should step down from his present position he's personally responsible for this mess that the country is at the moment while i'm at the tank unfortunately as only time will tell whether this is going to happen but we are out of time right now i really appreciate your perspective and to our viewers if you like the show please join us again same place same time here on while the party. form is probably the most complex and difficult to. answer still locked up. in the phenomenon of friendly fire probably extends back to the invention of gunpowder. just kill a bunch of people you don't know if the premises are really us people. reading. this some shoots my brother in the leg not intentional because of it because it was

it is the next round in the battle for the future of the ukraine. russia has raised the stakes. >> without that money, it could be encrypted in months. but the opposition says the deal means giving up the independence to the powerful neighbor in russia. we will get some analysis in a moment but first this report on the day the ukraine's president went cap and hand to moscow. >> protests at home. he came for support and he got it in spades. russia and the ukraine are strategic partners. not just in words but in deeds. we are united by centuries of friendship and have lived in the same country. part of tuesday's deal will see russia temporarily lower gas prices. they are facing a huge budget shortfall and desperately need the money, especially after bailout talks broke down in november. they immediately denounce the new deal. the opposition leader repeated calls for him to step down. >> we know that there is only one solution for this political crisis. it is to hold a snap parliamentary elections. the snap elections are a fair way to go. it is an opportunity

that the problem with that strategy is that it's simply not working the balance between the ukraine and russia economically and culturally ethnically and simply too strong and i think for american politicians and indeed european politicians to go to the ukraine and to try to do that is actually very unwise and very dangerous and he simply exacerbating making worse the differences the divisions in the ukraine which are already very great but as u.s. officials seem keen on pushing the e.u.'s o.c.a. deal through brussels all but shut the door and signing it so we're tweets from the man in charge of e.u. expansion it's unclear whether it's a matter of the e.u. or not budging on ukraine's pleas for more financial help upon signing the agreement the previous offer of six hundred million euro was branded as humiliating by unocal which or brussels rumored willingness to seize any talks with this government this latest statement by the european ever so also puts huge pressure on the culverts because he has been saying all along seamlessly during press corps as it meets with european officials and the o

the fact is, russia is not 10 feet tall. it cannot bail out ukraine forever. ia's economy is growing sluggishly, plagued by corruption and capital flight dependent on hydrocarbons. under these circumstances, i imagine many russians are not too happy to see $15 billion of their natural resources heading to a foreign country in furtherance of president putin's selfish ideological ambitions. the question now is where do we go from here. first, we must continue to support the peaceful aspirations of ukrainians for democracy, rule of law, uncorrupt governments 0-- governance, equal opportunity, and integration with europe. we must insist that the ukrainian government uphold the rights of all ukrainians, especially the freedom of speech and association. and where ukrainian citizens remain detained for peacefully exercising these basic rights, we should continue to call and work for their immediate release. second, we must continue to demand that all sides from the current political crisis refrain from violence. something that the demonstrators have done to a remarkab

or ask about details on the deals now struck by ukraine and russia from oxford university historian mark colvin joining us on the line ottomar this a major concession say that ukraine's got from russia to sort of things that may know that any future deals with the e.u. are currently off the table for good. not at all it seems to me that actually the european union strategist must be rather happy with this deal russia has agreed to pay off essential of the western banks who have lent money rather. probably unwisely to ukraine without really thinking through its ability to pay and russia is going to subsidize in effect the provision of gas to people in ukraine which is a good thing for ordinary people in the business but it doesn't actually buy and if you do create income politically not if there's a change of government after all these deals go through after the cash is transferred and still there is a revolution or some kind of change of regime doesn't void the possibility that then careful could still either tilt will be pulled to wards brussels towards the u.n. or nato but still the wo

is to upset ukraine russia relations this salute tempted to the tough this is largely being driven by the poles feel that way means the baltic general who are seeking to overthrow the government of ukraine and to pull ukraine towards europe even in the camp in the longstanding fight they have with russia this is not just a trade deal this was an attempt to pull ukraine always from russia towards europe and the you have european political leaders leading the marches in that this is the basic criminal act of. government seems to be too paralyzed to to restore order. and here's why the ukrainian government is under pressure right now thousands of protesters as well as the opposition in parliament want to move the country towards europe but the government thinks that is premature saying brussels is not offering perks such as the ship and the privileges that most europeans enjoy then there is a belief that life closer to europe would be cheaper but the government warns the deal would actually damage the economy for little in return now the opposition still insists should resist pressure fr

the issue of moscow supposed pressure on ukraine is one of the main topics for a meeting between russia's foreign minister and the top diplomat that was kicked off in brussels so it's ours isn't there for us and now brings us the latest ukraine is definitely on the table here while the situation on the ground remains tense so it is to a certain extent among diplomatic circles now a russian foreign minister sergei lavrov his visit to brussels comes on the back of a tweet from the e.u. chief for enlargement who says that the e.u. believes that ukraine's position on the go seizures of the association agreement is quote unquote and has no grounds in reality now the ukrainian prime minister's office has responded to that and said that ukraine is very much open to continuing negotiations with the e.u. however it will not respond to tweets it will respond to official messages and also it wants to if it does decide to sign it wants to do so on its own terms that as far as russia is concerned here among the meetings of the foreign ministers the deputy foreign minister of lithuania is also chairing

russia's foreign minister has been talking about ukraine, syria and iran.

still for the seashell of ukraine russia has raised the stakes with a fifteen billion dollar lifeline for ukraine's them the good of him now without that money could be bankrupt within months that the opposition says the deal means giving up. ukraine's independence to its powerful neighbor. instead the opposition was to build ties with european union will get some analysis in just a moment the first is simple one day ukraine's president went cap in hand to mouth protests at home race in moscow ukraine's president came to the kremlin for support and he got it in spades. russian president arriving at switching made a point of emphasizing the long standing ties between the two countries. steel grade russia and ukraine as strategic partners not just in words but also in deeds we you know i said by many centuries of friendship and by having lived together for a long time in the same country continue to do it part of tuesday's deal will see russia temporarily lower gas prices for the ukraine and when viktor yanukovich as governments around eleven billion euros. she and is facing huge budget

much for breaking it down for us and discussing in assessing the benefits of the deal between ukraine and russia was keen building of our business venture host. well as we mentioned earlier ukraine's deals with russia have failed to placate anti-government protesters in kiev and one of the most vocal critics of the lifeline moscow provided is a leader of the nationalist party who told the country's president a traitor for signing the agreement. takes a closer look now at the rhetoric of one of the most controversial opposition leaders in ukraine. an offer of support for ukraine z. u.s. durations was not enough to persuade one of the country's opposition leaders and yet to book drop shoulders with the german foreign minister during his surprise appearance at the protests in kiev mr westerly is openly gay and elected new books border has made its position on homosexuals quite clear at tackling gay parades the most we want to build the country based on harmony and social justice we're being dragged into homosexual values by the western states and we will not allow that but homosexuals and people of

subsidies extend some debt forgiveness etc etc only on condition that ukraine moves closer to the the customs union with close closer to russia if ukraine signs a deal with with europe if if a new deal is done and they sign a deal with europe then russia will insist on the existing terms of the gas contract being honored and it will get tougher to live without international chris weaver thank you very much indeed for your thoughts from moscow advisory thank you jim. well the west has already expressed outrage at the actions of the ukrainian authorities with the u.s. secretary of state among those giving this strong worded opinions out is going to come on reports on what's being said. it's not often that you hear the word discuss that from a diplomat it's usually reserved for some horrendous events while john kerry just used it to describe the decision of the ukrainian leadership to dismantle protestors barricades in the center of key of and here's what he said the united states expresses its disgust with the decision of ukrainian authorities to meet the peaceful protest in queues my down square with riot police bulldozers and

protest is getting to know that in probably because i think these peopl want to detach the ukraine from russia as they say. and they think that my support to the protests in kiev. they might actually achieve that the problem with that strategy is that the city where he belongs to the ukraine and russia economically and culturally and ethnically on simply too strong. and i think for american politicians and indeed european politicians to go to the youth backing on to taunt a tooth that is actually very humbling and very dangerous. i'm simply exacerbates the making what's the difference is the divisions in the ukraine which already very tight as us officials include imposing the new association deal through brussels over to shut the door and sign your to read tweets from the man in charge of eu expansion. it's unclear whether it's a matter of the eu and not budging on ukraine's pleas for more financial help for signing the agreement. the previous offer of six hundred to the funeral was branded as humiliated by the local beach brussels rumored willingness to seize any talks with this government.

ukraine. they are high compared to other countries in the region and they are being used by russia. other hand, ukraine is also offering more subsidies to be able to meet the energy crisis for heating and cooking over the winter. period. this is draining the state budget and it is one of the causes of the financial problems faced -- the ukraine has right now. they are looking for a cut in gas prices but especially to do regulate the state budget. >> what about talk about undue influence by moscow? there were reports that the ukraine walked away from the edu deal -- the eu deal because russia threatened trade sanctions. weeks, theral sanctions from the sides of .ussia carry from the ukraine that increases of these complaints about insufficient quality of chocolate or milk but it is hurting the cut -- the economy. russia and ukraine and other countries had been building up her quite a couple of weeks before the summit. >> speaking of pressure, what does all of this mean for the statesd for the united if a deal between russia and ukraine is consummated? mccain said, perhaps it would be

ukraine and russia go way back centuries. are the two entities that formed the soviet union in 1922. when ukraine decided to break away and to the father of that family it was like a betrayal in the family. so there's a lot -- for putin, getting ukraine in this is the golden prize. >> ifill: emotional as well as everything else. tell me what is at stake for the u.s. they have been talking to u.s. officials and u.s. officials as well, trying to figure out where to land in all of this. >> there the a lot at stake for the u.s. and also for the west in general. that is, because ukraine is such a strategically important country, it's not had a cold war going on anymore but there's a geo complete kill war between the way of life. the more personal freedoms of the west in western europe and now the western part of eastern europe, and then there's a group around russia that is more authoritarian, fewer personal freedoms, more controlled economy and a lot of corruption. so if the west could manage to reorient ukraine toward the eu, to

from kiev in ukraine while analysis of what all this means no petra political science professor from the university of rhode island let's talk to him showing. officials have been blaming russia for pressure on ukraine high the pressure on ukraine despite president putin's assurance of no conditions what she'd make of it all. well we won't know until the details are made available but it's a very generous offer and right now it's hard to see how anyone in ukraine or the e.u. could say anything but thank you i suppose they're going to say it's pressure of the not well how i'm not sure how then any sort of interaction is pressure and i think that's a rather ridiculous standard. obviously if the consider the deal arranged gives advantages to the ukrainian economy that no other side is willing to offer that something very positive end of the day when you're up against the wall for money if the prosecutor takes that count didn't it i mean russia gave ukraine to say these that it never would. this luxury low interest loans ukraine even need an e.u. partnership practic. well yes because the amount of potential indebtedness over the next. ukraine has and needs to repay to the repaid

and a big deal for ukraine russia agrees to buy fifteen billion dollars of its debt and slash the price of gas which we have. from bankruptcy.

says the agreement between ukraine and russia will not address the concerns of the protestors. demonstrators upset about the deal gathering in the capitol, they want ukraine to form a closer relationship. the agreement gives cash strapped ukraine a much needed lifeline. >> it was a very public display of affection, an affirmation of the close cultural and economic link between russia and the ukraine. between the ukraine leader produced more than just himries of a shared history. among the pros controls signed at the kremlin, a landmark agreement promising to reduce the price of its sales of natural gas to ukraine by a huge 30%. dropping to $265 for 1,000 cubic meters. russia will buy $15 billion of government bonds to sure up an economy that's seeing its foreign currentsy reserves drop to a seven year low, and is battling third recession in five years. >> we have prepare add plan of action for regulating economic relations a two way road map so to spook. it will let us improve our performance, and it's realization will bring tangible results to entire sectors of the economy, and

russia we. covered. hello welcome to worlds apart with every passing day ukraine's choice between closer ties with the european union or russia seems more like a choice between good and evil a democratic future and the authoritarian past but it is the choice really so stark well to discuss that van allen joined by and. a member of the ukrainian parliament on a strong supporter of european integration mr shift chunka thank you very much for your time great to be with you first of all could you update us on what is happening in kiev right now. while we're at them i done independence right back from the parliament to where we had a no confidence vote for the korean government and as you already know it failed. only one candidate in eighty six m.p.'s voted to put the government down there were two reasons to do this no confidence or first is the collapse of the association agreement was the european union and second it's the bloody police attack on peaceful protesters here on the way done sort of the saturday morning as we can see behind your back people are still gathering in the center of here i wonder what do y
