I can't think of a way to write about what is happening in my adoptive country right now. I've been upset with the news of all the bloody battles taking place in the Maidan and elsewhere and just can't imagine these lovely people having to fear their own government! There is one thing I need to express, however...and that is anger.
Last summer when President Yanukovitch decided to begin talks with the EU for better trade relations, Russian President Vladimir Putin closed Russia's borders and blocked all trade from coming in and going out of Ukraine. This trade sanction on Ukraine really hurt the economy, as Russian is its biggest trading partner.
This is what started Maidan my friends. It goes all the way back to last summer and Putin is who started the whole mess. Not the people of Ukraine, not the EU and not the Americans. Putin. I wish the whole world would sanction him.
