Crisis In Kiev
The capital of Ukraine, Kiev, is in turmoil amidst anti-government protests. Protesters are disappointed that their president, Viktor Yanukovych, has not signed a deal for trade with the European Union. Yanukovych does not want to hinder Ukraine's ties to Russia with the deal. Protestors are blockading government buildings with whatever materials they can find. They demand that Yanukovych dismiss the Ukrainian government and hold new elections for the vacant seats and the presidency itself.
