Some Sobering Political Developments

I read an article about Ukraine politics today that concerns me a lot. If you want to read the whole article, see topix.net/world/Ukraine

After the President fired the Prosecutor General last week, riot police loyal to the Prime Minister moved to protect him in case he got fired, too. The riot police scuffled with security officers loyal to the President.

On May 30, Parliament ruled that the firing of the Prosecutor General was illegal, directly defying the President's power to do so.

In the meantime, one of the head army commanders has moved troops based all over Ukraine to Kiev. The army commander did this against the orders of his superior, the Interior Minister. The army commander is an ally of the President, while the Interior Minister is associated with the Prime Minister.

Please keep Ukraine in your prayers, that these problems can be solved in a peaceful manner.
