Ukraine’s Unrest
It is difficult to see how the trust can be rebuilt between Ukraine’s Viktor Yanukovych and the people after recent violence against antigovernment protests.

Al Jazeera talked to Carnegie Europe’s Judy Dempsey about the continuing protests in Ukraine.
Even if the United States and EU agree on sanctions, they need a clear goal on what to gain from them, and weigh up whether Yanukovych will take a much harder line backed by the Kremlin, Judy Dempsey said.
Yanukovych has misjudged the effects of cheap Russian loans, and the opposition now feels that it has to go even further in its requests for a transition government or early elections, she added.
Everything is so fluid that it is difficult to make predictions, Dempsey concluded. Both sides are increasingly digging in, despite the efforts of the Polish, German, and French foreign ministers.About the Author
