In the Ukraine crisis that is currently taking place in the peninsula of Crimea, the Russian parliament has allowed its troops to take possession of anyone who they fear is in threat of the new government in Kiev that they deem as “illegitimate.” Recently the new Ukrainian government has asked for support from the European Union and the United States. The Unites States has been placing extra troops into the countries of Poland and Romania. NATO has sent in AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) into these countries to keep an eye on the Russian buildup of troops along the border of Ukraine and Russia.This all comes from the invasion that troops of Russian origin, that Russia is claiming to have no affiliation with but are from the Russian Black Sea fleet, seized a Ukrainian hospital that had Ukrainian wounded soldiers and war veterans.
