riot police gunned down hundreds of protestors, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted from his office, Russia annexed Crimea, and the War of Donbass would erupt in eastern Ukraine between Pro-Russian Separatists and the Ukrainian government. Western nations have been quick to blame Russia for stirring up trouble in Ukraine and Putin has remained staunch that he is protecting the rights of those of Russian descent residing in Ukraine. CNN and RT, a state-funded Russian media outlet, both
