It's going to be tricky getting Russia to agree to ceasefire in Ukraine, post-Soviet political expert Donnacha Ó Beacháin tells Radio Schuman.

Ukraine has accepted the offer of a 30-day ceasefire, and all eyes are now on Russia, but the latter will want to see the details of the ceasefire and will have plenty of qualifications, post-Soviet political expert Donnacha Ó Beacháin tells Radio Schuman today.

The Professor of Politics at the School of Law and Government, Dublin City University (DCU) cannot see the Russians accepting “anything that doesn’t legitimise their land grab and ethnic cleansing” in Ukraine.

Today Radio Schuman also features the EU South Africa summit and the increasing trend for VAT fraud across Europe.
