True. Ukraine is a sad country just like Syria. But the whole conflict could have been avoided had they went ahead with the scheduled election instead of storming the presidential building.

I think it was more with the tensions in Syria,Libya and Iraq. Kharkiv treaty was like the begining as the Russian Federation was working to upgrade Syrian Tartus port shortly after that Treaty.

Maidan is a coup. Think of it as Palpatine usurping power and becoming the emperor. In this case it is Poroshenko usurpring power and becoming the president.

Why Maidan happened ? It was because of the rising prices, economic collapse, corruption, gas crisis etc and i think Kharkiv agreement was the starting.

It was basically Poroshenko wanting to usurp power. He had been the leader of Maidan since the very start.

Major Ukrainian TVC hannel Slammed for 'Russian Colors' in Logo.

Ukrainian TV channel “112 Ukraine” has received probably the most ridiculous charge ever: its logo represents the colors of Russia.
It would be funny, if it were not so sad: the letter was signed by the chief of the National TV and radio Council, and it may have the severest consequences for the broadcaster.
Citing citizens’ complaints, he demanded the owner’s “comprehensive explanations” in regard to the TV channel’s logo comprising red, blue and white – the “colors of the flag of aggressor country Russia.”

The letter contained an enclosed print copy of an enraged reader slamming the TV channel for “constant trolling”, “fake experts” and “unprofessionalism” and demanding that it be fined for “displaying the aggressor’s flag colors”.

“112 Ukraine” was launched in November 2013. In June 2015 it surpassed its closest rival – Petro Poroshenko’s TV channel 5 – by two times in the share of news programs.
The TV channel in response called on the National TV and Radio Council’s chief to “stop suppressing independent broadcasters and finding fault with senseless things.”
It also reminded that Petro Poroshenko’s TV channel 5 has a logo whose red color resembles a communist flag – something the president has outlawed.

The TV channel also reprimanded the National TV and Radio Council’s chief for failing to note that the red, blue and white colors also resemble the flags of France, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia and the United States.
It is time to inform Ukraine’s EU partners and the United States that their flags represent the Russian flag, which is an unforgivable mistake, the official’s logic hints.
Maybe Petro Poroshenko should ink a decree and outlaw the three colors in Ukraine.

Ukraine is a sad country. Sad countries only have 1 outcome. I'll let you guess what that outcome is.

Powers are trying to make Ukraine a sad country but still Ukrainians can stand up.

Mainly it was to destroy Ukraine weapons industries, over take its natural resources and the population was made to suffer.

I'm Chinese Canadian. I don't give a damn about Ukraine. It's not my country. It has nothing to do with me. I'm fed up with Ukraine. If you want to update on Ukraine daily, that's up to you. Nothing will happen in Ukraine just as nothing will happen in Syria. It's boring as boring can be.

I am just seeing that people are dieing,suffering and huge PR is going on.

Conflicts cant be compare and suffering of the people cant be measured.

Syrians, Afghans, Yemanis, Libyans, Central Africans , Rohingyas,Palestinians and Ukrainians all are suffering. Sometimes sects, sometimes religion, sometimes color and sometimes historical events are being used but in reality these countries are made to suffer because of geopolitics and international politics.
