lllghL MP370 golng from kuala
Lumpur Lo 8el[lng dlsappeared
on 8Lh March 2014. 1here were
approxlmaLely 239 people on
board and 2 of Lhem were
chlldren. Some people LhoughL
LhaL Lhls plane could have
landed ln an lsland ln Malacca
(Lhlrd smallesL Malayslan sLaLe).
1here could be many reasons
why Lhe plane could have
dlsappeared.
Cne of Lhe Lwo maln reasons
LhaL Lhe plane could have
dlsappeared ls LhaL Lhere could
have been some dlfflculLles wlLh
Lhe englne. 1he reason why
some people Lhlnk Lhls ls one of
Lhe reasons ls because Lhe fllghL
had aLLempLed Lo come back Lo
Malaysla buL Lhe englnes could
have falled and Lhe plane wenL
Lhe oLher dlrecLlon.
1he second reason for Lhls fllghL
Lo dlsappear ls LhaL Lhe plloL or a
few people on board could have
hl[acked lL. lL could have been
hl[acked because Lhere were
Lwo passengers on board wlLh
fake passporLs LhaL Lhey could
have sLolen from one of Lhe
oLher passengers. 1hls could be
also be Lrue because before Lhls
happened, Lhere was a loL of
news abouL planes belng
hl[acked (one of Lhese ln
lebruary lssue of Lhe
Crapevlne).
Some people can also Lhlnk LhaL
Lhls could noL be posslble
because lf Lhe plane had been
hl[acked, lL would have been
safely landed. Cne person had
sLaLed LhaL on Lhe day LhaL Lhe plane
dlsappeared he had seen a flash of
whlLe ln Lhe sky buL he dldn'L hear Lhe
sound of a plane crash or slash near by.
1he naLlons looklng for Lhe plane sald
LhaL Lhe flghL had been dellberaLely
changed ln dlrecLlon by someone ln Lhe
cockplL. We are sLlll noL sure lf Lhe
fllghL had been hl[acked or lf lL was by
Lhe plloL or Lhe co-plloL. AfLer a whlle
of search ln Lhe lndlan Ccean Lhey

lL's been 3 monLhs now slnce Lhe
proLesLs ln klev, ukralne sLarLed.
''We wlll only leave when you
pull us closer Lo Lhe Luropean
unlon, when you change Lhe
consLlLuLlon, when you alLer Lhe
governmenLs power'', Lhey
loudly lnslsLed aL Lhe
lndependence Square. 8uL why?
Why have so many proLesLors
sLaked Lhelr llves for pollLlcal
change?
1he revoluLlon ln ukralne ls
dlfferenL from Lhe proLesLlng ln
Crlmea buL ls sLlll connecLed.
1he people of klev wanL Lo
become a parL of Lhe Luropean
unlon (L.u) buL Lhe presldenL -
vlkLor ?anukovych - re[ecLed
Lhls. 1he reason of hlm re[ecLlng
mlghL be because he dld noL
wanL ukralne Lo be under Lhe
power of Lhe Luropean unlon,
lnsLead he wanLed ukralne Lo be
lndependenL. 1he people
wouldn'L llsLen and Lhe proLesLs
elevaLed ln early 2014 and
evenLually caused deaLhs of
many proLesLers and pollce.
Among oLher Lhlngs, presldenL
?anukovych sLruck anoLher deal
Lo buy $13 bllllon ln ukralne
bonds and dlscounLs of gas
prlces Lo ukralne from 8ussla.
Meanwhlle, Lhlngs were geLLlng
worse ln klev and people sLarLed Lo
LhreaLen presldenL ?anukovych. llnally,
lL was reporLed from ukralne LhaL Lhe
presldenL had been ousLed from klev
Lo 8ussla because of LhreaLs from Lhe
people and lL has been consldered LhaL
Lhere was an alllance beLween
resldenL vladlmlr uLln and former
resldenL ?anukovych of ukralne.
Powever, before dolng so, he released
(under Lhe pressure of Lhe proLesLers)
lmprlsoned former resldenL of
ukralne ?ulla 1ymoshenko. 1hls caused
Lhe new lnLerlm governmenL Lake over
Lhe charge of ukralne whlle
1ymoshenko was also leadlng Lhe
people of Lhe counLry.
?eL, Lhe people ln Lhe easLern parL of
ukralne, Crlmea, found Lhemselves
excluded, dlsenfranchlsed (2) and
dlscrlmlnaLed (as 8usslan ls wldely
spoken ln Lhe reglon and 8usslan
culLure has lnfluenced greaLly because
of Lhe Louchlng 8usslan border ln
ukralne) from Lhe lnLerlm governmenL
and from Lhe developmenLs and bonds
so Lhey proLesLed agalnsL Lhe new
reglme (3) ln klev. 1he legendary leader
of Lhe Crlmeans - Lhe 1aLars - already
suspecLed LhaL Lhe 8usslan mlllLary
would brlng Lhelr force ln Lhelr land.
?ou mlghL Lhlnk how ls Lhls posslble?
Pow and why would Lhe 8usslan
mlllLary force enLer Crlmea?
When Lhe people of Crlmea acLually
sLarLed Lo proLesL, Lhe 8usslan mlllLary
force enLered Lhe reglon from Lhe
border. 1hls was permlLLed because
Lhe 8usslan mlllLary force ls allowed Lo
enLer some dlsLance ln Lhe LasLern
ukralnlan border. 1he 8usslan-speaklng
people ln Crlmea Lhlnk LhaL 8ussla ls
helplng Lhem and ln a way Lhey are buL
Lhe anLl-8usslans ln Crlmea (who are
only 3 of Lhe Crlmean populaLlon and
do noL necessarlly speak or
conslder Lhemselves as 8usslans)
were scared LhaL Lhey wlll have Lo
vacaLe Lhelr homeland and [oln
8ussla.
1he reason for Lhls fear ls because
for decades, Lhe 8usslan speaklng
people and Lhe lmmlgranLs walLed
for Lhls momenL Lo be parL of
8ussla, Lhe place where Lhelr
ancesLors came from. 1hls ls
dlsasLrous for Lhe ukralnlans
because Lhey probably dldn'L
know LhaL Lhls was golng Lo
happen and LhaL almosL half Lhe
populaLlon of Crlmea would sLarL
proLesLlng on [olnlng 8ussla.

Cne oplnlon on Lhls maLLer ls LhaL
Lhls ls noL Lhe 8usslan
governmenL's nor resldenL
vladlmlr uLln's faulL. 1hls ls
because Lhls ls whaL mosL of Lhe
people wanLed and lL can seem a
blL absurd Lo deny Lhe deslres of
93 of Lhe populaLlon and have
only Lhe agreemenL of Lhe
remalnlng 3. lL can be sald LhaL
Lhe fleelng of ?anukovych mlghL
have been one of Lhe reasons why
Lhe 8usslan mlllLary force lnvaded
Crlmea.
1here was even a case when Lhe
8usslan 8lack Sea lleeL LhreaLened
Lhe ukralnlan naval force, whlch ls
far lnferlor Lo Lhe 8usslan 8lack
