Going Medieval - Tactics of the Ukrainian Protests
« on: February 25, 2014, 09:30:55 PM »
A friend shared this interesting writeup about the Ukrainian protests....

But if there’s anything that tipped the balance, at least for now, it’s the protesters’ willingness to fight. “I’m ready to fight for my human rights and my country, and the better life of my country,” a women’s brigade fighter told Al Jazeera. “Even to death.”

One thing became clear — former Berkut members knew what they had done, murdering fellow Ukrainians, was wrong. While many fled, a handful of former riot police stayed, pleading for forgiveness.

The article actually wrote that the protesters built a trebuchet but it was taken down by police.
