First it was protests about the whole Economic deal. Western Ukrainians wanted EU and the eastern wanted Russia. The Ukrainian president enacts laws without parliamentary approval basically saying that Protesting is now illegal and punishable with 5 to 7 years of prison depending on infraction. This compounded with other laws that he pushed through, like distributing anti-gov stuff, wearing military gear at a protest, attacking police officers, etc... On top of that, Riot police who commit crimes against the protesters will not be prosecuted. The protesters said, "Aw Hell Naw." Thus began the great clankaning.
