Will the Ukraine Peace Pact Hold?

The situation in Ukraine remains fluid and it is not clear whether the agreement between Yanukovych and the opposition leaders will hold.

Speaking to Bloomberg Television’s “Taking Stock," Carnegie’s Eugene Rumer discussed the fluid situation in Ukraine and the volatile nature of the deal between President Yanukovych and opposition leaders. It’s not clear that all parties will accept the ceasefire, he said, and most importantly, it's not clear that the people of the street accept this deal, especially since they are calling for Yanukovych to resign immediately. The number of variables in this very tenuous deal also includes the oligarchs who have thus far supported Yanukovych but may move away from him as he weakens.

This interview originally aired on Bloomberg TV.
