10,000 dead and hundreds of thousands displaced, is it time for ukraines leaders to acknowledge they are in a war they cannot win . Geopolitics, economics, and public sentiment dont seem to be working in kievs favour. My guest was ukraines Prime Minister until a year ago. Arseniy yatsenyuk described his own premiership as a kamikaze mission. So how does his nation avoid Self Destruction . Arseniy yatsenyuk, welcome to hardtalk. Thanks for having me, stephen. Seems ukraines crisis has lurched into a new level of urgency in recent days with a blockade, which has been imposed by people who are actually nominally supportive of ukraines government, a blockade which is restricting all trade between the Eastern Breakaway regions and the rest of the country. Why is this happening . The reason is very clear. Under the minsk deal russians had to launch a full fledged ceasefire on the ground, to pull back its forces, and to pave the way for the political solution. Whats really happening . They ar
