Violence in Keiv, Ukraine Cameron Eisenberg

Summary-
This article talks about the continued violence in Ukraine, particularly in the Eastern part. The reason? Ukraine's Parliament supported a motion that would give separatist controlled areas more autonomy.

Analysis-
This happened in Kiev, Ukraine, outside the local government building. This happened about 1:30. I already know that tensions were high due to the Crimea Annexation, and that there is a strong movement to have Ukraine reattach itself to Russia. I believe this was written for the general public, to allow people to educate themselves on such matters. This is significant because this could start a Ukrainian Civil War, or possibly a Ukraine vs Russia war, which would probably involve outside intervention (like America's), which could spark old Cold War rivalries. The article was written by Victoria Butenko, who I can't say I've heard of.
 
This was written on the phone app, so I don't know how to add a link on here but this was the cite address
