Opinion document: Ukraine is on the brink (DIEEEO23-2014)

Ukraine is on the brink, lives the most serious conflict since its independence in 1991. It all began in late November when the pro-European demonstrations began after former President Viktor Yanukovich refused to sign the Association and Free Trade Agreement with the European Union. These protests were to become the so-called EuroMaidan revolution that after would seek the fall of the dictator. On 22 February, Yanukovich left Kiev and the demonstrators took the power. Russian President, Vladimir Putin, on the eve of the closing ceremony of Sochi, accepted the policy of fait accompli. But some days later asked parliament for powers to send troops to Ukraine: Crimea is the excuse for the intervention.
