42:32Now PlayingUkrainian voters head to the ballot box on Sunday to elect a new parliament. President Petro Poroshenko pressed for an early vote in hopes of gaining a stable governing majority. But the bloody civil strife in the east of the country, the conflict with Russia over gas supplies and an economy on the brink of collapse are immense obstacles to achieving political normality.
