EU Sanctions towards Russia for AP Comparative

This is a very descriptive video describing the connection between Russia and the EU sanctions. While the Ukraine crisis will not make next year's AP Comparative exam (which was finished in April) this is a good way to study the connection between what is in the news and the governing bodies of the European Union and two other AP Comp countries, Russia and the UK - whose connections are mentioned in the video.  It also shows the reason why the EU has such problems which you could tie into other countries such as austerity issues.  

Here is a great summary of both why Russia wants the Ukraine and the new sanctions from Vox.
