READ THIS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON:
For all of you who don't know; In November, President Viktor Yanukovych of the Ukraine abandoned a treaty with the EU in favor of closer ties with Russia. The government then passed many anti-protest laws. The peaceful protests in the street turned violent when the police began using tear gas, rubber bullets, and other measures of force. The protesters responded with Molotov cocktails and other home-made weapons. On Feb. 22nd , Yanukovych was overthrown and fled the Ukraine. However, Russia has been making moves to seize the Crimea from the Ukraine . As Russian troops seize various strategic locations there, the Ukraine government has called for mobolization, and war now seems imminent between the Ukraine and Russia.
