From Kyivpost, I found out that the EU (European Union) has froze the assets of 18 former high-level officials, including fugitive ex-President Viktor Yanukovych. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has accused Yanukovych and his accomplices of using up to $70 billion and leaving the state treasury virtually empty.
From alijazeera, I found out that Ukraine is near bankruptcy and many countries are sending aid packages. Such as the European commission sent in a $15 billion aid package and the US is sending an additional $1 billion for Ukraine.
From these two sources that found are focusing on the problems that Ukraine is facing and how these problems are going to be solved.
I noticed that in the american sources (BBC) that they have news on every bit of detail that is happening on whats happening between Ukraine and Russia. Right now Russia close ties with the UK and the EU. The BBC has information on what Russia's reasons and a claimed attentions for taking Crimean. BBC also has information on Russia's and Ukraine's current status.
How i see it is that America resources are trying to get all the information so that people of america know exactly what is going on and why it is going on and the other two sources that i found are only focusing on certain issues that they want the people to know.
Also from reading from sources i found that they are trying to pin point the other side is wrong and that they are correct on what they are doing. For example, Russia is going into Crimea because they believe it is right for them to protect their citizens there and which gives them the opportunity to take control of that area. While Ukraine and other countries believe what Russia is doing is unnecessary for them to intervene with Ukraine at its current state. Every source has a different view on everything and none of them are the wrong or right way.
Sensible observations, David, and your news sources make for an interesting comparison. Watch the grammar and spelling--practice the details.
