A Tragic Situation

By Anika Chinthakunta

`    What are you doing right now? Whatever you are doing, picture yourself in the Ukraine right now. When I pictured myself in the Ukraine, I saw myself arguing and fighting for freedom against Russian and Western Europe domination.

Just so we are on the same page, Ukraine is a small country that borders Russia on the west side. Well actually, Ukraine might not be a country anymore. This is because Russia and Western Europe wants to take the Ukraine for themselves. For a while now, people from the Ukraine have been fighting with Russia and Western Europe for it’s independence from the two countries. Many people were killed like police officers and citizens. The war became crueler and harsher as it continued. With all this commotion going on, something that really lost power to Ukraine was that their president, Viktor Yanukovich, had fled. With their president gone, the Ukraines lost power against the Russians and Western Europeans because without a president or government they would have no plan to fight. As the war continues, who knows what will happen, but do you think the Ukraine will be a nation tied to Russia, Western Europe or neither?
