Ukraine Has Had Another Update

The ousted President of Ukraine has popped up in Russia.



And, while this has happened, Ukraine has had to put their police on high alert because pro Russia gunmen stormed, and seized control of government buildings in Ukraine's Crimea region...





...then raising a Russian flag over the barricade.



Reports saying they wore black and orange ribbons: a Russian symbol of victory in World War II...







...then put up a sign that said, "Crimea is Russia!"



Ukraine's acting Interior Minister says police have sealed off the area and will not allow the situation to escalate into an armed confrontation in the centre of the city.



Also, Ukraine's acting President has warned Russia that any move (by Russian troops) off their base in Crimea will be considered a military aggression.



Then, of course, as the world looks on, everyone has to wonder that question: are these pro Russia gunmen affiliated with the Russian government in any sense? The reason being, is the United States and Russia have been warning each other to stay out of this conflict. Proportionally, both sides have been accusing each other, so it'd be very interesting to see what happens with these gunmen; and as the situation develops, I will continue to keep you updated.
