Ukraine and Russia

There is a war being fought within Ukraine, a boarder country of Russia. The Russian government is backing different rebel groups in Ukraine and utilizing russian soldiers and military. It's a battle over territory and political control. It's creating a lot of pain for the people who live in Ukrain. There are different groups inside of Ukraine, and some want out. Russia denies the evidence that they are involved in this fight, but there is a lot of evidence saying that they are.

Ukraine and the rebels had a ceasefire going for a while after the Ukrainian army's crushing defeats. Ukraine chose to break the ceasefire and try take back ground again. They're in the process of losing again.

Ukraine started this latest round of fighting, not Putin.
