Citation of the article: Parfitt, Tom. "Ukraine Must Strengthen Army against 'Russian
Aggression', Says PM." The Telegraph. Telegraph Media Group, 10 May 0014. Web. 20

Summary:
Ukraines top priority is to create an army that is strong enough to keep up with Russias
belligerence, said the countries prime minister. He made this statement on Friday
November 14th as shocking news was reported. A 5 year old little girl was reported,
murdered on the east side of Ukraine by a falling shell. Due to this Ukraines
government and Western countries accuse the Moscow of sending troops and tanks into
the Donbas region to support rebels who are fighting to enlarge two breakaway
republics. Later, Moscow denied that even just one troop entered Ukraine across the
moral border. Both Ukrainian forces and rebel militias have used indiscriminate
shelling in residential areas that they are being noticed for. Sadly, the 5 year old little
girl and her mother were hit just outside of a doctors office in a village close to the
Luhansk region. The mother is very injured and the 5 year old girl has instantly passed.
This attack, whether intentional or accidental has caused plenty of controversy all over
the world concerning the weapons that are being used. This incident has especially
caused plenty of controversy due to the announcement that was just made about
improving the army.
Reaction:
After reading this article I had a feeling of sadness and then I felt very thankful. I think it
is very disturbing that a 5 year old little girl had to die in the hands of her very injured
mother, just because of little conflicts that can easily be resolved. This article proved to
me that war and conflict took over so much of peoples lives, that gaining a strong army
to kill is their main goal in life. After reflecting on the terrible situation I realized that
there is nothing for me to do, then to be thankful. I am very blessed and thankful that
where I live today is very advanced in protecting America, which nothing like this could
happen. Although, it was very sad and heart breaking to hear about the situation of the
mother and daughter, I am very thankful that I am not in that horrible situation.
