Evolution of Conflict, Ukraine

Evolution of Conflict, Ukraine

The current issue that has everybody concerned is the one that’s happening in Ukraine. Now people are saying that what started off as simple protests could now become an armed conflict. The conflict began on November 2013; the purpose for the first protests was the failure to sign an EU Association Agreement, but then the issue turned into a social movement after violent police attacked young pro-European students. The people demanded the punishment for the policemen responsible, but this did not happen. Instead of punishing the responsible for the beating of the students, more police brutality occurred. Now the issue has escalated to an armed conflict. The article by Andreas Umland in the Social Europe Journal explains the issue in more detail.
