All hell breaks loose in Ukraine

The chaos which has been unraveling in Ukraine for months is a brutal mess of riot officers and rebellious citizens. The riots which have taken place for around 4 months have no foreseeable ending since the citizens
and president of Ukraine can not come to an understanding. The protests began the night of
21, November, 2013 as the cause of the the government prolonging the signing of an association agreement as well as a free trade agreement with the European union for more economic dependence on Russia. The protests were also fueled by the long lasting corruption within the government, its power which it constantly abuses and constantly violating the human rights in Ukraine. The Euromaiden has a list of unmet demands to bring back the Ukraine - Eu integration. These rally's are currently known as the biggest bro European union event of all time. The president of Ukraine Victor Yanukovych went as far a passing a law which strictly limits basic freedom which includes limiting the news, peaceful protest, the internet and even verbal speech.6 protesters have been confirmed dead but 5 reported deaths are still being researched as of 1,February, 2014. Many people even saying that the protests are in fact a revolution. The horrendous amount of hurt journalists is staggering. One protests was able to injure 40 journalists on 1, December, 2013. A campaigner named Vasil stated "Until we see complete change which is not Yanukovych,people will stand here."
