Title: Ukraine: Deadly Clashes around Parliament in Kiev
Date: 18th February, 2014
By: BBC

The mood have been calm in Kiev, but protest camps remains on the street and the opposition insisted the immediate resignation from the government or else the government that it risked inflaming tensions if it failed to act. In the worst violence the past week, police used rubber bullets and stun grenades as thousands apon thousands of protestors marched the parliament building. EU said that she is extremely worried about the situation in Ukraine and urged the government and the politicians to address the root cause. Some protestors throw smoke bombs and cobblestones towards the police where the police retaliate by using stun grenade, flashbang and rubber bullets. The protestors marched to the parliament in order to force the government to address constitution reform.

Well i think that this issue is addressed quite well by the Ukrainian police as the protestors casualties are at the minimal thinking of what really happened there as you can see in other countries for example in Egypt their protests cost lives up to 100 to 1000 whereas in this area of the world the police forces are more civilized and got better ways to "repel" these protestors. But all in all these kind of incident is actually very bad for the country as it ruins the trust between the governors of the country and the people governed by them. Also when ever there's casualties no matter if they are police or protestors its bad, no one should die because they are just expressing their anger or the fact that they wanted change. All in all i don't support either side of this conflict and hope that they resolve it quickly before it gets worse.
