Summary of James Rosone & Miranda Watson's Battlefield Ukraine

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Petro was walking towards Freedom Square, where the rally was taking place, when he noticed his friend Andriy. They had been childhood friends, and Andriy had gotten hit by a riot police truncheon two days earlier. He was still fuming about it. #2 The government in Kiev sent the Anti-Terrorism Unit to Kharkiv to put down the protest movement.
They prepared to arrest as many of the protesters as they could and charge them with crimes against the state. The ring leaders would be charged with treason and fomenting insurrection against the government. #3 Oleksandr Prasolov was from Kharkiv. He had met his wife in high school and married her before leaving to attend undergraduate university and graduate school in London. After completing his Master Degree in Economics from the London School of Economics in the mid-1990s, he went on to work for a well-known global management consulting firm. #4 Oleksandr was planning on calling for Eastern Ukraine to be independent from the central government and join the other separatist regions.
However, an informant within the separatist movement leaked the plans to the central government, and the Anti-Terrorist Unit arrested Oleksandr and ended the movement before it could spread any further.
