Russian Troops begin withdraw from Ukraine

        Even though Ebola has struck the nation and ISIS is running wild throughout the middle east you can't forget about the chaos in Ukraine. US secretary John Kerry stated earlier this week from Paris that Russian troops have begun to withdraw from Ukraine. He warned Russia that they need to speed up their process because deadly shelling in Ukraine is still going on. After talking with Sergei Lavrov, John Kerry continued to push the talks about lifting sanctions about the crisis that has caused tensions comparable to those of the Cold War between the two countries. "And at this point... many of them are happening now. The troops are pulling back, (but) the heavy equipment still has to be pulled back and the border is yet to be properly monitored and secured," Kerry told reporters in Paris. The crisis has caused the a total life loss of 3,400, the new defense minister of Ukraine has said that the country will be ramping up their armed forces to be able to combat with the Russian aggression. The sanctions in Russia have cut off the country's ability to trade with Western countries and caused some of the larger companies in Russia to call for a government bailout.         This crisis has now caused the super power of Russia to begin a recession and bailout some of their major companies that employ most of the nation. I find it ridiculous that Russia felt a need  to attack Ukraine in the first place and create a mass panic. The panic caused a plane to be shot down and civilians killed due to a misguidance of a missile. Conspiracy theories have been created and are allowing for the citizens of both countries to become scared of their government. Also a general election that is very needed in the Ukraine will be pushed back due to the crisis and the public disbelief over the endless murders. Ukraine is a country trying to graduate to a more prestigious level in the economic world. This setback has indefinitely slowed down this process and harmed the country's well-being.
