Americans Urged to Leave Sochi as Ukraine Erupts
Tension in Ukraine has caused increased security concerns in Sochi as finger pointing increases aimed at Russian President Vladimir Putin for exerting undue influence in the political decision making in the Ukraine and thus the root cause of the violence.
Marred by corruption, gay protest and now the violence in the Ukraine, the American athletes are urged to take caution.
Visitors to Sochi are now fleeing and leaving early as tensions increase. See also Hotel Horrors,
Mark Mackinnon writes in the Globe and Mail, “Host Russia began the Games with a call for a worldwide truce during the Olympic period, but by Wednesday it was trading blame with the United States and European Union over the bloodshed in Ukraine, which killed at least 25 people on Tuesday and Wednesday. Russia has steadfastly backed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych throughout the three-month-old crisis, while the U.S. and EU have encouraged the opposition that is now battling police in the streets of Kiev.”
