I've been getting daily posts regarding Ukraine and the protests happening in the capital city via the newspaper and the radio. I am proud of the Ukrainian people bold enough to stand up to the corrupt administration. They are peacefully venting their frustrations...no matter what you may see on TV or on the internet, any violence that has taken place was instigated by the government. They had put their own hooligans among the crowd to make it seem like the opposition were at fault...not true!!!!
Last night the police again attempted to tear down the barricades and went away without succeeding. The people are steadfast in their resolve and I am happy to say that Ukrainian people are strong in their convictions and will not back down. It is truly a wonderful sight and my only regret is that I am not in the country anymore to bear witness to this historical happening.
