An Update on the Situation in Ukraine

If you've been following this live stream, or keeping up to date, you can see that everything is still going strong – there's fire in the streets.



As of typing this article, it's been reported that now, 25 people are dead, including 10 police officers – and a figure that is likely to go up. We have over 800 people injured.



The footage, in general, coming out of this, is just terrifying. I watched a video of a guy getting his leg blown off with a grenade!

It's being reported that, on top of just everything continuing, the reason this escalated even more: riot police tried to storm the encampment of protesters, it didn't work out as planned.





There's also now, video showing Ukraine soldiers surrendering to these protesters.



During this typing, it said that their barracks was on fire at the same time. And, it seems that this is a mix of soldiers that do not want to fight, but also are on the protesters' side.

The Associated Press is also reporting that the leader in Ukraine is replacing the head of the armed forces.



We also have Ukraine security service announcing it's launching a counterterror operation.



The service saying that in the past 24 hours, riders took over 1,500 firearms and 100,000 bullets!!





And so, hearing this now, maybe what we've in these protests is nothing compared to what we're going to see!!!

I just hope this violence, and these deaths, end soon. But, who really knows what's going to happen next? That being typed, as things develop, I will keep you up to date. And I actually think this is where I'm going to end this article and I'd love to know your thoughts on that.
