Christiane Amanpour and Wolf Blitzer had a tense moment on CNN Monday as the two journalists sparred over how to portray the facts of the political situation in Ukraine.

Blitzer was concluding a segment with Amanpour and the Brookings Institution's Stephen Cohen, who blamed Ukraine violence on a "right-wing nationalist movement."

Blitzer set Amanpour off when he told viewers, "You heard Vitaly Churkin, the Russian ambassador to the U.N. Security Council, saying earlier today that at fault for all of this are what he called fascists and anti-Semites in Ukraine right now ..."

"You know, you've got to be really careful by putting that across as a fact," Amanpour said.
