-- excuse me, western and western ukraine, not from eastern ukraine. ukraine has been a divided society for the past 25 years, if not longer. simply to look at people in a square and to say that these are the representatives of the ukrainian people is not sufficient. you have to ask a broader question. why weren't the easterners there? why are the eastern part of ukraine resisting at this point? the problem we have is we see something like this, and we refuse to ask ourselves the fundamental questions about what we're really looking at, because we see something that is supportive of the values that we would like to see, the european orientation, for example. but if you look at the polling before the latest events, ukrainians were split on whether they wanted to be part of the e.u. or wanted a closer association with the russians. you asked about nato. there's a sharp divide between those in eastern ukraine and western ukraine. and finally, if you look at the composition of the government, this government, this interim government that we're supporting a

ukraine seems to be falling apart. the rebel separatists are growing in number, and the attempts by the kiev government to put down this wave of occupation seems to be faltering. at the moment i suppose russia doesn't have the to do anything. the kremlin is happy to sit back and see how things lay out. it will be interesting to see what the outcomes of the talks are. no great hopes that they'll see any way forward, not with the entrenched positions that nick spicer is talking about. >> peter will keep ice ears and eyes open in moscow for us, as vladimir putin has the question and answer session with the russian people. >> we have a lot more to come at al jazeera - including no friends, no family and little money. we report from mexico where people are struggling to start over after being deported from the u.s. plus, china's version of twitter going public. weibo sets its sites on the nasdaq in new york. >> hello again. i'm martine dennis in doha. these are the top stories. leader from the u.s., e.u., russia and ukraine
