Trouble in Ukraine.

Welcome back folks. This time I researched about a current event that is pretty new. Enjoy reading this article about the new current event.
                             What is it?
This  is a conflict that is between Russia and Crimea,Ukraine.When Ukraine's president,Victor Yanukcuveyh rejected a trade agreement that was given to him by the Europian Union, citizens of Ukraine started to protests that they will be in trouble and had deadly conflicts with the Ukraine police. Russia has sent troops down  to Crimea and they started to invade Crimea.
                         What is the circumstance?
This conflict started when Ukraine 's president,Victor Yanukcuveyh rejected a trade agreement that was given to him by the European Union.Also another reason is when citizens of Ukraine had deadly clashes with the Ukrainian police.
                        What are people doing?
People of Ukraine have decided to protest because they thought that the president was doing a wrong thing by not signing the trading agreement.The citizens has had deadly clashes with the police which caused a lot of deaths and injuries for the protesters.
                       What is it connected to?
This conflict connects back to history.You see,when Crimea,Ukraine was under Ottaman Empires protection and rule, the Russians came and invaded it with no right.And today,Russia is doing what their  anchestors were doing,invading Crimea again.
                        What are the points of view?
There are actually many points of view that I thought was interesting.In fact,the most interesting point of view came from Russia. Russian government says that they did not invade Ukraine.Some people totally disagree like I do. People say that Russia sent down troops to Crimea and was checking every detail even though it is not their country. I think that Russia has no right to send down troops to Crimea no matter what it did.Your opinion might be diffrent but really I think this is the truth.
                        How is it changing?
Since this is a new current event, nothing has really changed. But now Russian troops are more relaxed and they act like its their fathers place. Can you believe that!?
                       What is our responsibility?
First of all, in this conflict there aren't many donations needed. But an important thing is that we should be role-models and I think we should not always  follow our ancestors` moves.
                         Interesting Facts

  • Crimea was conqured by the Ottaman Empire in 1477.
  •  Russia invaded Crimea in 1771.
  •  Ukraine is a country that is in Europe.

                        Interview with my dad
Ismail:What is your perspectieve about Russia invading Ukraine?
My dad:Russia has no right to intervene Ukraine.Russia almost must recognize Ukraine 's unification as a country.
Ismail:If you were in Ukraine,how would you feel?
My dad:I would feel patriotic
Ismail:Could this conflict affect both countries?Why or why not?
My dad:Yes it could because Russia might face some difficulties with it's international relations.Ukraine on the other hand might need more international help from the West.
Ismail:Do you think that this conflict would be long or short?
My dad:If the international community convinces  Russia not to intervene Ukraine's politics,the conflict will end shortly.

I hope you enjoyed getting this new peice of information.Hope to see you next time:)
