While it is not certain that Ukraine would default, there is a 20 percent possibility that it might, said Tom Coupe, VoxUkraine member and Associate Professor and Senior Economist at the Kyiv School of Economics. This is an unusually high likelihood. While a default wouldn't be dire, it is not ideal by any means, Coupe explained.

Tom Coupe and Devin Ackles of CASE Ukraine spoke with Hromadske International co-hosts Ian Bateson and Nataliya Gumenyuk during the Sunday Show on January 18, 2015.
