The Deputy president of the Federation Council, Ilyas Umakhanov and the Director of the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ruslan Grinberg discuss the current events in Ukraine. The protests in Ukraine, which started as peaceful actions in November 2013 in response to the break in signing an agreement about the association with the EU, developed into a violent conflict, where the opposition also includes radical nationalists. The opposition requires new concessions from the authorities and is not satisfied with them, which provokes the radicalization of the protest and anarchy. Europe and the US, while verbally callinh on Ukraine to dialogue and a peaceful conflict resolution, in reality only contribute to a chaos that they would have never allowed in their own countries.
