Another member on this board has been following this longer than I have, but it's gotten pretty f
ucking bad the last few days. Apparently this started due to laws that limited the rights of protesters, so obviously protests happened and the police used force against the protesters. Live ammunition is being used now, and the police are using snipers. There is/was talk of bringing in the Russian military to quell the protests, either way I'm rather anxious given the amount of violence on both sides. I hope it doesn't come to an all out civil war, and I hope the use of artillery/mortars doesn't make an appearance, but judging from what I've read, seen, and feel this conflict is going to get a lot worse.
