9:14Now PlayingRussian President Vladimir Putin is rebuffing warnings from the U.S. and European Union as the crisis in Ukraine threatens one of the worst eastwest standoffs since the Cold War. The proRussian Crimean parliament has voted to hold a referendum on splitting off from Ukraine and joining Russia. But the vote's legitimacy has been called into question after the installation of a proRussian government in Crimea just last week. We host a roundtable discussion with three guestsAnton Shekhovtsov, a Ukrainian citizen and researcher at the University College London specializing in far right movements; Jonathan Steele, former Moscow correspondent for The Guardian and author of "Eternal RussiaYeltsin, Gorbachev, and the Mirage of Democracy"; and Keith Gessen, an editor at N+1 magazine who covered the 2010 Ukraine elections for the New Yorker.
