the fighting in ukraine after the deadliest clashes yet between security forces and protesters. we want to warn you we have very graphic photos coming into cnn. we re going to show you some right now so you can get a better and fuller picture of this crisis. dead bodies are strewn on the ground and in makeshift morgues. protesters walked through a pool of blood left by a wounded demonstrator. hundreds have been injured in the heart of the ukrainian capital. the unrest is certainly taking its toll. take a look at the dramatic before and after photos from independence square in kiev, that s right in the center of the fighting right now. let s discuss all of this with the new york times columnist nicholas christophe. nick, thanks very much for joining us. my pleasure. i remember a column you wrote back in 2004 while you were in kiev during the orange revolution, and the column was entitled let my people go. remind our viewers, for you this
as the president of the united states. let s work together to fix this so it truly can be something that will work. and i will suggest to you the way you fix it is to do away with it and allow the states to we were never asked. governors were never asked to be a part of this and you cannot deliver health care or education policy or, for that matter, infrastructure policy in one size that fits all. california and connecticut are different than oklahoma. governor, i suspect that you and i will be seeing each other in iowa, new hampshire, a bunch of places. we will, indeed. multiple tornado warnings across the southeast. we ll get an update. chad myers is standing by. ( bell rings ) they remind me so much of my grandkids.

been taking a back seat during the last few months of crisis, not pushing that hard because they don t have the money to bailout the ukrainian economy here. it will be interesting to see what this foreign pressure has done. i suspect many around yanukovych are wondering what his next game plan is, what his next steps could be. we ve seen the mayor of kiev say i m leaving the city and i m going to run this city away from the president. that s a very clear sign of the top of the ukrainian administration here and yesterday yanukovych replaced the army chief. so there s clearly problems in his inner circle. the question is, is he leaving or trying to fight this out? nick paton walsh, thank you very much. the white house says it s outraged by the images of ukrainian security forces firing on protesters and the united states joining european nations to russia with some new sanctions. but what will russia do with all of this? fareed zakaria is joining me.
