Local Ukrainian unhappy about unrest back home

A Ukrainian resident living here in Jacksonville tells WOKV he's unhappy to hear about the turmoil back home.

"They start shooting people with the water pressure when it's minus 20 outside."

Anatoliy Sushinskiy says he doesn't agree with how the Ukranian government has been handling violent protestors. He's also unhappy about Russia's military troops advancing into the Crimea region.

"What Putin is doing right now, he never thought he was going to lose."

Sushinskiy tells WOKV protestors have been fighting for three months in hopes of getting their freedom.

Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with leaders in Ukraine Tuesday.
