Ukraine Airman Injured as Russia Attacks Base

A Ukrainian airman was injured on Saturday, when Russian troops attacked two Ukrainian bases, in Crimea.

The Russian troops used armored vehicles to crash through the gates, firing stun grenades at Ukrainian troops, and firing live ammunition into the air.

They also detained the base's commander and took him away for "talks".

Ukraine has been attempting to find a way to safely evacuate their bases, in the region which Russia has stolen through force.

However it seems Russia is unwillingly to allow Ukraine time to do so, and is likely also trying to provoke a war.

If a war begins it would give Russia an excuse to roll into eastern Ukraine, if not the entire country.

While the international community is willing to put small sanctions against Russia, for it's criminal actions, they are not willing to defend Ukraine with their own troops.

North Korea Launches 30 Rockets
