Good Luck.
Tensions are escalating Ukraine following last week's ousting president Viktor Yanukovych. Weeks street demonstrations led to Mr Yanukovych leaving the country helicopter in the middle the night. Thousands of protestors west Ukraine fought bloody battles in the capital, Kiev. Scores people died in the violence, many shot riot police. The protestors were demanding the resignation of Mr Yanukovych, economic reforms, and closer ties the European Union. The east of the country did not see the levels violence witnessed in the capital, largely because most people there voted Yanukovych and lean more Russia than the EU.

The White House has said it no longer considers Mr Yanukovych to be the president Ukraine. The U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry also warned Russia not to intervene in Ukrainian affairs. A White House spokesman said: "We strongly support Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty." Fears are increasing that Ukraine could break two as pro-Russian separatists are becoming more active, especially the autonomous region Crimea. Armed gunmen wearing Russian military uniforms were reportedly guarding Crimea's main airport Friday. Ukraine's acting president Oleksander Turchynov warned Russia "military aggression" Russia mobilised 150,000 troops the Ukrainian border.
