the european union goes on. it was a very generous offer from our side, and the president decided to do something else. >> reporter: do you have any indication at all from the president and the european side that they are genuinely interested in continuing discussions? >> he said he intends to sign the agreement in the near future, but the offer is on the table. it will remain there, our door is open, but it is for him to take the step. whether he will do it or not, i don't know. >>> the european union has accused russia of bullying ukraine about -- into pulling out of that deal. >> reporter: it's a monument that celebrates a communist fraternity that died more than 20 years ago. now they are all independent countries in their own right going their own way. well, at least trying to. tens of thousands of young ukrainians on the streets of kiev calling for closer ties with the european union. the kremlin wants them to stay in russia's economic orbit. it uses control of the soviet gas pipelines to put pressure on i

union but the european union did not offer any kind of compensations for the put potential economic damages and the losses essentially this is what caused the signing not to happen next week another interesting twist in the story happening during the week is that the european union in fact pointed the finger at russia accusing. of blackmailing ukraine to sign out of this free trade deal the russian president hit back saying that in fact it was the european union but blackmailed ukraine it would had been work mail in ukraine all throughout the negotiation process let's have a listen to the russian president when i heard ukraine has suspended not cancelled but suspended negotiations with the e.u. he wants to review everything we heard a threat from the e.u. to ukraine all the way up to organizing mass protests this is pressure and blackmail. just next to the afghan president rejected advice from the country's influential council of elders donors the jirga that he signed an important security pact with the u.s. as soon as possible because i told the three thousand strong meeting he wou

for example the european union to lead to greece. or to pay to grow it rather countries and impose a stable and franzen's and millions of people losing their jobs. i think that it became clear to the ukrainian president of each that if you signed their deal he is not going to get anything financially the e.u. . basically office thinks. changeable you know it doesn't immediately going on the benefits of that ukraine at some point in the future will have access to the e.u. markets but when will this happen. on our website right now we've lined up the five reasons why he has decided against further european integration you can go to come to share your thoughts in the comments section. and still ahead the u.s. oil lobby does itself through a pair of bills that would make protesting extremely expensive and federal regulation a thing of the past that story and more coming up after the break. with ben bernanke it keeps interest rates at zero percent is helping to increase america's debt it's also time. as the debt bubble pops everyone who s

union and the european union on its turn never promised any kind of compensation for the potential economic damages that ukraine might have suffered and what about ukraine now what the real is what's next on the table. for the quite obvious option for ukraine now is to. basically estimate how they can avoid all these economic damages that is why according to the first vice prime minister of ukraine's government is the boycott they're looking to create a three sided commission between russia the e.u. and ukraine to discuss potential. compensations of those damages and risks to the cranium economy and how these things could be avoided we understand at the moment that the e.u. have is hasn't promised any kind of compensation to ukraine the m.d.i. in the next seven years is. or to be expected at the level of round one really you agree your and brain is estimated to be losing more than three billion euros a year if it severs it straight dies with russia so this is basically the only option for ukraine or was dressed to me how did they avoid those losses because essentially we understand that do
