Description: Ukraine has seen violent protests and political chaos since last November, when the president rejected closer co-operation with the Europe Union, in favor of stronger ties with Russia. At least a hundred protestors have been killed in a crackdown ordered by President Yanukovych. He has now fled Kiev and his whereabouts are unknown.

Jamie Coomarasamy hosts a live debate with guests and an audience in Kiev. He asks what will come next for Ukraine and examines the implications for Russia and the EU.
