From peaceful protesting...
...to rioting in the streets...
...to people being shot by snipers...
...today the update since the last time that we communicated, is the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, has vanished!
The Ukraine parliament voted to oust him as President, and the interior ministry issued a warrant accusing him of mass murder, and the killings of anti-government protesters last week. He was last seen in the Eastern part of the country, on Saturday, where he said that he was still the legitimate President, and would not flee the country.
Also, for now, Lawmaker Oleksandr Turchinov was named the caretaker of the new government until new elections in May.
Turchinov was appointed by Yanukovych's own ruling party.
Thousands of Ukrainians have gone to, and taken over the Presidential compound; which is just an interesting mishmash of vintage cars...
...a freaking pirate boat...
...and animals.
And, in response to everything that has changed, Russian Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev, questioned the legitimacy of the new Ukrainian authorities and said that Russia feels events are "a threat for our interests".
While the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin, condemned what he said are Western attempts to influence the outcome of the turmoil in Ukraine.
Which resulted in the US National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, warning that it'd be a grave mistake if Russia intervened militarily.
Lol, as long as there are big, conflicting world powers, it can always get worse. And it'd be very interesting to see what happens from here; and as it happens, I will keep you up to date.
Conclusively, that's where I think I actually want to end this article. And, I'd love to know your thoughts on this, in the comments down below. Also, please, click the share button – if you're so inclined.
