Summary Article #1

This article is mainly about his article is about Russia blaming the west for
the Ukraine Crisis. Russia is blaming them because of the western is
expanded and selfishly. Lavrov is accusing them of not supporting the
human rights, law and war crimes. And the consequences of Ukraine is the
west taking control of their own security of their people. Russia has
banned import of food from the European Union and the United States. In
eastern Ukraine they caused more fear to the neighbor of Russia because
they could take over more of their territory. Russia was accused of
sending troops and weapons into eastern Ukraine to help aid the
separatist. NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg said on November 18 that the
military forces will start to build up in eastern Ukraine and Russia that
forced Moscow to the troops will not be deployed. Steinmeier has given a
warning that a disaster will start to develop in Ukraine if they dont agree
to the peace treaty. And the cease-fire is apparently violated everyday but
they are not abandoning the peace. Putin may want Russia separatist to
seize power in Ukraine to gain more territory which can be a disadvantage
for the west because they will make the economy worse for them.
Reaction: I think that Russia is so busy trying to point the finger and
blame someone else for what is happening in Ukraine. Russia wants to
control land from Ukraine and I do think that is very effective for them.
Ultimately the west is the ones to blame for whats occurring in Ukraine so
they should get some type of consequence as well. Just because they want
to expand they and hurt people thats not okay.
Summary Article #2
On July 27 there were many deaths and violence reported in eastern
Ukraine. The Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down more than a week
prior to this article. At least 13 people were killed including two children.
They were killed while a fight between pro-Russian rebels and Ukraine
government forces were fighting near the Ukrainian city of Horlivka.
Ukrainian separatists are using rockets on residential areas, Ukraines
military does not use artillery fire inside city centers to avoid civilians
being killed. At least 322 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and nearly
1,300 have been injured since the start of the crisis in April. The
bloodshed came more than a week after Flight 17 was shot down. All 298
people who were on board were killed. Malaysia came to an agreement
with pro-Russian separatist to allow international police to protect
investigators. of the people who died in that plane crash were from the
Netherlands. After this crash Russia announced it had formed a team to
join the investigation which was led by, Oleg Storchevoy. On July 16 the
United States put harsh sanctions on Russia over its annexation of Crimea
Obama put sanctions on two banks so that Russia will not be able to get
important financing in the United States. Earlier this year, Europe, which
imports nearly 30% of its energy from Russia, joined the United States in
imposing limited sanctions.

Reaction: I do think that Russia was a part of the shooting somehow

because of the fact that they created their own team for the
investigations that was headed by their deputy of Federal Air Transport
Agency. I think that President Obama has that same feeling because he
put as well as the Europeans put harsh and limited sanctions on Russia yet
again. This time it was for two banks that would not allow them to have
important financial help from the US. I think that if Russia was not
involved in the plane crash, they would not have gotten involved in the
investigation because it was not on their land and no one from Russia was
killed on that flight. Most were from Malaysia and the Netherlands.
