Ukraine's capital is literally revolting

Ukraine's PM Azarov and government resign

Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych has accepted the resignation of the prime minister and his cabinet amid continuing anti-government protests.

So when is the President resigning so nobody else has to die? I thought a President's duty was to look after his people above all in office, seems Mr Yanukovych is ignoring that.

Two words: Power corrupts.

Both amazing and saddening how this has gotten intense, yet the rest of the world hardly gives a fuck.

Wrong.

"Europe's leaders are to consider urgent sanctions against Ukraine after the worst violence in months of unrest claimed at least 26 lives." (BBC News)

[Jaka_Lah]

Too little too late. If a country, most of the countries population decides that something is f**ked up, goes on the streets protesting, risking their lives, and after a month the union says "oh maybe something is wrong" NO SHIT. Too little too f**king late.

Wrong.

"Europe's leaders are to consider urgent sanctions against Ukraine after the worst violence in months of unrest claimed at least 26 lives." (BBC News)

Jaka pretty much said most of what I was going to say. "[Are] to consider" is pretty much a huge-ass understatement after everything that has happened. You might as well have a kid fall on his head out of a tree and the parent saying "I think there's a possibility that maybe something is wrong with him".

Corruption, violence, and lawlessness of this magnitude deserve to be an urgent international concern. Yet they wait for months, and this even barely makes "side news" here in SE Asia. I can only hope the Ukranians get their freedom soon.

From what I've heard by hearing the news, reading forums and chatting with mates, Germany, France, U.S.A (Europe) stepped in Ukranie's territory to bring democracy. Half of population is for this fact, but the rest stands up for the communism. Some russian journalists were killed by Sniper; the number of deaths is numerous. I think that Europe brought into Ukranie's land special forces to inflame the population. I'm not sure, but these actions may look like with Romania's revolution from '89. To provoke the crowd were brought secret soviet agents to kill the citizens and to bring down the president.

Literally, people are wasting their lives for politics. For every movement, are needed sacrifices. I do believe that Europe is behind of this atrocity because they need resources, and Ukraine it's a mine filled with petrol. And another reason of this jungle which happens in Ukraine; Merkel is unhappy because of Europe's standards and wants to increase its expansion. Wants to expand E.U's army and also the economic system. If I am wrong with something, please do correct me. Anyway, Romania is willing to help Ukraine.

The President will call a presidential election and form a coalition government.

I'm getting so pissed off at the media only showing a one sided perspective on this case. Both sides is a mess. Protesters are violent and so comes a violent reaction. Police are severely wounded and killed, guns and Molotov cocktails are used by protesters and so guns are used in reaction as immediate self defence. Hell theres even been reported that several protestors are using live ammunation, and thats infact terrorism.

Go take a look at liveleak.com and see some reality guys, 13 policemen are killed so far. Rest in peace.

Couldn't have said it better. They get what they ask for.
