e.u. and some protests are already taking place. reports. indeed some part of the ukrainian society have had a very bitter reaction to the news that the country would not be signing the e.u.'s or sation deal next week protests have been taking place all over ukraine since last night you're now witnessing one of them a key of central independence square the place where the orange revolution started exactly nine years ago when literally this whole space behind me was filled with people several hundred thousand here in any case we understand that the protesters they planning to stage their rallies at least until sunday when the country will officially mark the anniversary of the orange revolution that's when we're expecting more than seventy thousand people to hit the streets so this is one part of the greater society infuriated by unocal which is decision the other party which also includes prominent political analysts and speakers in the political sphere they have been saying that ukraine b

e.u. doesn't need the ukraine really i mean the e.u. is is close to bankruptcy itself a lot of the country the bankrupt or very close to it and you think the e.u. will be concentrating on trying to solve the problems of its products in portugal italy and spain but it is it wants to expand it's all right for western the e.u. fanatics to sit there in brussels or london to say ukraine should join the e.u. should sign this trade deal putting things in it in practical terms will be a disaster for the ukrainian people it will be gas prices going up the prices going up unemployment going up industrialisation so i think going to have a choice. and further analysis of ukraine's rejects is easier bed and just how attractive the deal was in the first place as up for debate in cross talk later this hour. the fact is the european union doesn't have money to hand out ukraine needs an awful lot of money and everyone knows that the european union and its member states are broke they have debt up to the eyeballs and they can't afford to pay their own bi
