Good morning everyone, I'm Kwon Soa... let's take a look at what's making headlines around
the world.
While tensions in Ukraine are rising, Russia's President Vladimir Putin has ordered surprise
military exercises near the Ukraine border. The drills took place on Russian territory
on Wednesday, and are said to be nothing unusual, but the timing raises suspicion of possible
military intervention in Ukraine. On the same day, thousands of pro-Russian
and pro-Ukrainian demonstrators gathered outside the Parliament building in Simferopol, the
capital of Ukraine's autonomous Crimea region, where tensions are currently much higher than
in Kiev, due to large populations of both ethnic groups.
In the meantime, Ukraine's interim leaders will unveil a new cabinet, late Wednesday
local time.
