people of ukraine so people were outraged they went out to the streets and again the government missed unocal which were not able to talk to the people so after that the peaceful protest was handed by the extremists like it happened in tunisia for example or like it happened in egypt when. the revolutions were made by western oriented people who are thinking about the more than a zation of our cake society is not as a result of the elections the islamist forces won here the similar picture it all started like a peaceful protest and then the extremists the warlords the field commanders appeared in kiev they started shooting this they started riots they started. real war in the streets of the european capital and when i saw the pictures on the t.v. screen i was really shocked it was not european capital it was oriental capital that what now i mean at this point is going to stay together ukraine tea thing it will splayed maybe we'll see self-governing rages like in the united states where she's risen with this constitution well last saturday i visited kharkov. the congress of the deputies of all

against the government in kiev and we have we have to point out here that the government in kiev mr unocal which is reached out to the opposition numerous times over the last two weeks but still the violence continues and i want to make it very clear there is violence on both sides right now markets with what is your reaction. can i just say first of all peter ordinary people in europe and indeed the rest of the world absolutely disgusted by what they've seen on their television sets this week in ukraine and that discussed is all the more pronounced because the violence has been perpetrated by right wing extremists by neo nazi mobs but even tents all over for in the democratically elected government of ukraine and that it's an intolerable situation and we must move away from what we're hearing by western journalists and western politicians that these so-called protesters are protesters they're not protesters they're militants they're terrorists they became militants or terrorists that day they took up arms against the police force in kiev you cannot call people peaceful protesters when the

ok you know the unocal has disappeared he is free there is no government there is a revolutionary. spirit. overwhelming in the streets of kiev. do you think that the european bank will be ready money in that circumstances of course more they're waiting for the legitimate government to but when president putin says that he will cooperate with any legitimate government does that mean keeping gas prices unchanged well i don't know because i'm not working for gas from libya and these guys know the numbers much but tonight do what they know for sure that for us there is no any other choice we will work with and of the government of ukraine because no one can take geopolitical eraser and to raise ukraine and russia from the globe thank you very much for this interesting thank you. to the. pain of the young girls cam all four of the future han are. between two and three hundred million guns united states so you can act like they're not here and keep kids away from them. deposits out if they want you know i mean this teaches them a lot of response ability and simply come to pay through the

equivocally as the united states has been doing because you know you can blame all things on the unocal has by the one would think that democracy is more precious and democratic institutions democratic procedures should be valued higher than ousting an unpleasant or even a dictatorial leader from power especially when you have elections coming up next year the united states has also suggested that the protests suit should demonstrate restraint and i agree with that they certainly did things which we perhaps should of advise them to do but if you contrast their behavior with the behavior of the burqa as ordered by you'll recall which the one saw it was brutal of slaughtering scores of people the other side was seizing buildings there's no comparison you know you talk about the presidential election was scheduled for two thousand and fifteen we all knew mr covert was preparing to steal that election the same way he tried to steal the election of two thousand and four when i was in kiev. micio going to make sure that the most popular politician lord who is not in jail with the police go co

all the unocal which saga has largely resembled a hollywood thriller something along the lines of catch me if you can he fled the ukrainian capital five days ago after a huge outbreak of violence here ever since his his whereabouts have been unknown some have been speculating that he is still in ukraine and the new ukrainian power in kiev which eventually came to power here after unocal which led were quick to brand him as a criminal to slap a wanted tag on him and to declare him as a fugitive but apparently young a call which at least on thursday it became apparent that he may be resurfacing in russia first of all he published a statement handing it over to several russian use agencies saying that he was still the legitimate president of ukraine elected in a constitutional manner every decision made in the key of parliament in kiev according to an accord which was illegitimate and he was willing to fight until the very end to bring the constitutional order back to the country at the same time he said that he and his competitors have been receiving death threats from people he described

pressure on a country but i think it also contradicts that this very familiar western claim that unocal which was a russian stooge reaches you know it really a nonsense to anyone who knows anything about the kremlin politics because there was absolutely no love lost between putin and you can call it i don't consider micio stooge i think was the only code which was interested in the young in the welfare of missy article which i don't think he was russian stooge and i disagree with analysts in the west who see the current problem in ukraine as a problem an east west problem the current problem ukraine is really a problem of an authoritarian government did still has triggered substantial opposition from its own people. and in other states since it believes in democracy has endorsed the democratic aspirations of the ukrainian people by the way when i was in ukraine and won the third election of two thousand and four or encouraged him to go to moscow on his very first state visit rather than go anywhere else because i understood how important korean russian relations or that was true then th

ok markets where is this going here because i don't see i don't see any reason in the world why mr unocal what should blink he's democratically elected but what is the european union going to say to these really savage people now in the my dawn and you don't you know you don't watch c.n.n. and b.b.c. you're not going to see sort of the whole recovered had their savage people absolutely salvage what their slave is what they're doing to police officers and other people but the don't agree with them on the square where is it going marcus. well the ones who are surely going to mostly are i think you could unfortunately actually are you i'm speaking now unfortunately ukraine is on the brink it could end up descending into a civil war the whole country could break up and i can't see how that's going to be averted there were only be averted if washington and brussels and brussels categorically condemns the terrible appalling violence that we're seeing perpetrated by neo nazi mobs on the streets of kiev and also in the west and one is going to discover or ukraine but let's not forget let's not fo

two years in prison and she is definitely seen as the main ally as the main as the main enemy for unocal which politically has been so reluctant to let her go from prison and that he actually sec rafah is the trade agreement with the european union because the e.u. was demanding to lead some are saying could go only then they would sign the deal so this is a very big news for ukraine and in fact there is the word on the ground right now that ukraine may have released its future president from prison here let is definitely the biggest concessions we've seen to date the last time let's talk about that a little bit more deal detail now yulia tymoshenko of course is the opposition leader she is a former prime minister can you tell us a little bit more about the decriminalization of the law and also what's the likelihood of president finally signing that deal into into actual law while that deal as far as we know has already been signed by both the opposition and the president and the opposition have in fact. managed to push through several laws inside the parliament which have could not have

around fifty former officials are now under investigation on the same charges the whereabouts of unocal which are unknown but it is widely believed that he's somewhere in the east of the country where there's a completely different picture first of all eastern ukraine it's been widely critical of the events unfolding here in kiev it's also heavily populated by ethnic russians and so just recently tens of thousands of people took to the streets of kabul in the south and they've been protesting the political changes here in fact they voted for a new mayor and are now demanding local authorities to recognize them and this man gained his supporters by promising to protect the city from quote the fascist threat referring to the ultra nationalist more of whom have been coming to power here in ky if in the meantime the you foreign commissioner catherine ashton that has been in the ukrainian capital she's been meeting with the leaders of the opposition and the acting president and she's pledged the support of the european union including financial support to end to recognize the legitimacy of t

yes we will publish it the president of ukraine viktor unocal which announces february twenty to be the day of mourning for all those killed in the riots the situation in kiev is not stable. it should be reminded that the tension between the protesters and security forces died last night again this understanding of kiev became a hot spot. the rice begins here because nevada they continued after lunch in the main square the capital schools and kindergartens located in the central part of the city were not open on wednesday the number of wounded on both sides reaches more than five hundred people about one thousand people sought medical assistance the ministry of health ukraine has recorded twenty five deaths. one of those killed was a correspondent for the best the ukrainian newspaper. however this figure of victims is still preliminary. the sad statistics are growing every hour at night when the clashes intensified president victor unocal which caught on the opposition to join resolve the crisis. when a poet of the key to these politicians if i may see so attempted to seize power withou

arab spring it started as a revolution it started as a protest of people who were deceived by mr unocal the and his party the party of the regions. misty in the call that you and his party were at the ties and the agreements between ukraine and the european union for almost two years they were promoting the sadia explaining that it is the best way of development for ukraine and ukrainian people. and then they turned in the opposite direction overnight and did not explain anything to the people of ukraine so people were outraged they went out to the streets and again the government and mr unocal which were not able to talk to the people so after that the peaceful protest was handed by the extremists like it happened in tunisia for example or like it happened in egypt when. the revolutions were made by western oriented people who are thinking about the more than a zation of our cake societies but as a result of the elections the islamist forces won here the similar picture it all.

unocal this saga has largely resembled a hollywood thriller something along the lines of catch me if you can see fled to the cranium capital five days ago offset a huge outbreak of violence here. ever since his conduct his whereabouts and an unknown sum of its speculating that he is a team that is still in ukraine and the new ukrainian power in kiev were quick to brand him as criminals a slap or want to attack on him and to declare him as a fugitive but apparently chemical which may be resurfacing in a rustic first of all he published the statement said handing it over to several russian news agencies saying that he was still the legitimate president of ukraine elected in the cossack a snowman that every decision made in the key affair in parliament and keep according to the club which was a legitimate and she was willing to fight until the very ends to bring the constitutional back to the country at the same time you said that he and his combat suits have been receiving death threats from at the people he described as extremists and that's why he asked russia to provide protection f

official in russia have reported that in fact the russian government granted this protection for unocal which but now the latest news is that one of the officials close to the ousted ukrainian president said that the other which will hold a press conference in the south and a russian stuff on dawn on friday at about five o'clock local time certainly a lot will be clear if this press conference takes place and which would probably clarify what his next steps will be. with the country more polarized than ever there's no better time for the ousted president to speak out according to international relations expert mark sloboda. while technically still the having rights as the president of the ukraine after being driven out by this putsch in kiev he's released a rather powerful statement we have seen a complete deterioration of the situation in kiev this putsch has shown that they really have no power. to control what is going on certainly not in the entirety of the ukraine but even more locally the ultra nationalist mobs which which the cynically made an attempt to ride the tiger of their v

co-found this has been confirmed that the former prime minister yulia timoshenko the arc rival of unocal which has left the prison hospital is defined he says he will not accept any decisions coming from the parliament he still is the acting president according to himself and he earlier equated everything happening in the country to a quota top he even made a comparison to nine hundred thirty situation in germany when nazis were coming to power he said that he will continue touring south and east of ukraine talking to his electorate because that's where he feels safe in a car which also said that he's car was shot out on friday when he was trying to leave kiev for the east of ukraine meanwhile kiev itself is no longer controlled by anyone we know that the opposition protesters are controlling all of the governmental buildings in the city and michael if you go to skin off when down on the streets of kiev to see exactly what the situation is there right now less than twenty four hours ago this area was probably among the most high security areas in the whole country the street in front of

i mean that and i do not understand why i really didn't want to understand why why unocal the then people around him were positioning the choice of ukraine that it's either with the european union or with russia look during the cold war finland and austria for example they were with the west but they were not members of nato and they were with the soviet union in several aspects and there were many examples from history when you can be friends with the with with anybody but the not to become enemies but if he waits perceives in the west that it's not yet a curve it shouldn't make a choice but it's putting you know we were sharing ghana which and ukraine it was going to call the who made the choice because he was responsible he was the ukrainian leader and i'm going to college again he was bargaining for almost two years playing that game advertising the alliance with the european union in ukraine convincing the people of ukraine that for them it's the best way of development and then he turned to night why what was that frightening thing which which you could show to mr young the college.

who call themselves opposition and they say that they don't want to live in the country ruled by unocal which and his people. well the areas that are now saying they'll govern themselves brains economy if you look here southern and eastern ukraine comprises ten regions it's home to just over half the country's population that's twenty three out of forty five million the territory includes huge areas of fertile land with enormous agricultural potential it's also the country's industrial heartland with most of the mines and factories and of course all of ukraine's ports situated here in the adesa region and the crimea well european brokers of the deal the president signed with the opposition on friday and now admitting the antigovernment protesters have failed to comply with its terms when it's get more on their reaction from ortiz or smith in london so laura tell us more what these e.u. represent is a saying. well we've seen involvement of foreign officials on the my down right from the very beginning of this crisis we've seen slightly surreal things like polish deputies setting up tents

kid you can't take it again say it when there's been this now this is a problem the unocal no this is no this is the one that had the signs can right here. the month kitty and it looked like a rat well this last race i got it to a murder. so we hopefully will have wore. yellow skin we once had a lot of red in her war yeah that means anything rev moon moon . cats are going to be born now that the man with that right settles womb and finals in orlando logan pirkei and less than last night. and as a psycho a little insight when someone i don't know the son like i would like to sit around and lou let alone lay low and hear rifle rules sexually harass hold. the sex of the press. thank our don't let no stand carolyn's out psycho level or anything. let alone attack that way and our way there around here and out here so no way. to really what i meant ever does a guy was bothering her one day and i just don't like. people to take advantage of oh people. when he was taken advantage over so i intervened and she did for good enough there she just kind of adopted me as her fiance and i've been her

craney in parliament votes to depose president unocal bitch who refuses to step down saying the opposition is attempting a state cooed this as former prime minister yulia timoshenko is released from prison and addresses protesters in kiev. meanwhile local authorities from the east and south of the country hold an emergency meeting to take full control of their regions claiming the central parliament's decisions are unconstitutional. the european mediators said that help to broker a crisis deal for ukraine say they will support the new government while admitting the opposition has violated the agreement.

c international with me paolo hello and welcome to the program ukraine's ousted president viktor unocal which has surfaced with a public statement which suggests he is a no mood to give up in the fires to hold on to power. as a details. story of victory on a cause which has turned into a genuine hollywood thriller here fled ukraine's capital of five days ago leaving the power it in the capital to what was then the political opposition which was quite hastily putting him on the wanted list branding him a criminal responsible for mass murder of ukrainians it has been speculation for some time that you may still be in ukraine now he may be in russia it's not confirmed by any official source as of yet but we do know that president bush sent a statement to the russians a news agency that us which said that he is still considering himself the legitimate president of ukraine elected in a constitutional manner everything according to mr gonna call which which is happening now in the ukrainian parliament is illegitimate he said he will continue fighting for restoring the constitutional order in

very much an anti russia alliance and again if you look at the the association agreement to view unocal which didn't sign if you look very closely the fine print it does talk about military intelligence the joint work a mutual work in this is so it's often a really big red flag here is that the expansion just continues and what other reason could be is that went to him in russia that's it's it's plain as day here. i think that if you start off with nine hundred forty nine going to set up. europe was divided between eastern europe which was which under the soviet union and then the rest of europe so therefore it really had a meaning and was really to protect germany and other countries and they felt without the american umbrella they faced the central threat from the soviet union now that's all gone because. nato originally was there to rebuff a soviet military attack. from a conventional and nuclear point of view that's gone so that what's left you're left with the countries of eastern europe which feel insecure a visit to russia if you look at the stone you're left with little in your

don and all the others across ukraine they all can survive on very little the opposition has shown unocal which is richest to us now to lead yet some new technique and then lashkar who is running around with a pitchfork let them show their own mansions to the people show them to us and then give them away. to my done feels it has won the battle by ousting president of the college but seeing who replaced the ruling elite many feel the struggle may not be over what you see at the moment is a complete restructuring of a country which is close to default say it's the new system what the new structure is going to be is uncertain given what you can have in challenges inexperienced. administrators politicians and officials with no real or with no real knowledge of lots of manage an economy but it's one thing to be concerned over who takes the reins and another to openly prepare for the worst again ukraine's gun owners association chairman. says the illegal firearms market is now thriving. the previous government closed all gun shops thinking it would keep people from buying firearms it only made

who call themselves opposition and they say that they don't want to live in the country ruled by unocal beach and his people and so far it's peaceful but no one can say where it's going to lead and how it may end given all the tensions that we've seen already here in the country in the last months we're seeing our first reactions from outside the country from the e.u. germany's foreign ministry is calling on both president and the opposition to hold true to the crisis solution deal they signed on friday germany was one of the sides that helped broker the deal signed that day the paper included an early presidential election and a return to the. two thousand and four constitution where more power was allocated to the parliament and the formation of an interim government but the radical activists in the center of the capital have ignored the opposition's part of the deal instead of pushing for more violence until the president stepped down let's get some reaction on this from mark sloboda international relations security studies professor at moscow state university so germany's calling fo

conversation that took place between russian president vladimir putin and ukrainian president viktor unocal was on tuesday night the spokesman said that while russia maintains the fact that ukraine is an independent country and therefore everything that's happening there should be solved by the country itself and those who are involved in the conflict it nevertheless is still outraged at the violence that's taking place there at the moment at the same time where the western officials are concerned they have already started talking about sanctions not necessarily against ukraine but more of personal targeted sanctions probably against somebody in the ukrainian government or wide specter of various officials we have already heard expressions of the subject matter from. among all but also the european commission president and also the various ever present from france and germany have already said that that indeed is something they're going to be looking at during the european union foreign ministers meeting which is going to take place on thursday let's now look back at how the situation unfol
