Sounds like a lot of people wanted to get tight with the EU and then Putin put his big nose in and mumped it up and now people are dying and they sent a text to demonstrators notifying them that they are lawbreakers.

That is all I know. Someone link/tell me some better info, please.

they talked about this on BBC World Radio briefly this morning. it was right after they talked about some lady who fell off a ferry and then got rescued half an hour later which I thought wasn't that interesting of a story and didn't deserve the amount of time and drama they were giving it.

It looks like they're tailgating. Pretty dedicated

What I've read seems to say that general public really would like to be part of the EU. The president was elected under shady circumstances in 2010, basically bought and paid for by Putin and Russia. As pressure has mounted to join the EU, the "elected" leadership has completely turned on it's people. They've made protesting illegal, speaking out against a public official is jailable, and now they are pretty much having a war with their own people. Scary stuff.

All the people in Eastern Ukraine want closer relations with the EU, all the peeps in western Ukraine like Russia more. Western Ukranian party is in office now and is establishing closer ties with Russia/Putin...Eastern Ukranians are pissed and rioting.

it's really hard for me to get jazzed up over any political upheaval that isn't live tweeted by Felix Rex.

it sounds like they are hammering away at something and building a huge barricade out of it. amazing. the police at the upper right are lined up, just watching this civilian army prepare.

i can't stop fantasizing about how exhilarating it would be to form a wedge and smash into these fascists with 8mp and 30 other like-minded buds.
