From our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. Ukraine has been beset by violent unrest since november of last year. It all began as a protest against president Viktor Yanukovychs refusal to sign a trade agreement to enter the European Union. It threatens civil war. A truce quickly broke down and renewed violence left at least 75 dead in kiev with parts of the capital city in flames. The European Union and the United States are putting diplomatic pressure on the ukrainian government, including the use of sanctions. Moscow opposes such moves blaming the problem in ukraine on extremist and outside interference. Joining me now is dr. Zbigniew brzezinski, who served as president jimmy carters security advisor and written many books and i am pleased to have him back on this program, welcome. Good to be with you, charlie so when we sat down before we turned the cameras on you said ukraine is a big deal. Why is it is a big deal . Because in many ways the issue goes beyond the ukrain
