Populum oportet delegere res publicas huius loci Ukranei, utrum imperium Russiae donētur an res publicanae fiant Crimeanae. Non licet Crimeam in imperio Ukraneo permanere quam Putinus, dictator Russicus, non patiatur quod classis Russica portu Sevastapolis utetur. In his terris sunt limites incerti et mutabiles. Abhinc sexaginta annos Crimeae Russia imperabat. Abhinc viginti quinque annos Ukraneus est libertus, sed res publicae ibi minime iuste agentur. Nationes Europeae Americanaeque commotae sunt quae res ancipites timeant. Bellum eveniat ? plurimi pacem desiderunt sed res sunt periculosae.

Today in Crimea a vote is taking place. The people have to decide the constitution of this part of the Ukraine, whether rule should be handed to the Russians or whether  Crimea should be an independent state. Crimea is not being allowed to stay part of the Ukraine, which the Russian dictator Putin cannot accept because the Russian fleet uses the port of Sevastapol. In this region borders are uncertain and changeable. Sixty years ago Russia ruled Crimea. For twenty five years Ukraine has ben independent, but the state has been badly run. The nations of Europe and America are worried because things are on a knife edge. Will there be a war? Most people want peace but it’s a dangerous situation.

Eversio Ukraniensis: res ancipites. Revolution in the Ukraine: a dangerous situation.

Eversio in terris Ukraniensibus evenit. Dux Janukovicus minime gratus erat, principue in terris occidentalibus patriae.

Iste volebat cum Russiā in amicitiā sodalicioque Ukraniam coniungere, sed occidentales, qui linguam Russicam non loquentur, hoc consilium non suscipere possunt. Ergo multas septimanas Ukranienses nonnulli motūs in viis sic coquunt ut homines complures necati sint. Tandem, quod fluctūs non poteretur, Janukovicus abfugit.

Dux prior Timoshenca, quam Janukovicus iniuste incarceraverat, liberata nunc se iterum ducem fieri sperat, sed pauci ei fidunt. Res sunt valde ancipites.

A revolution has happened in the Ukraine. President Yanukovich was very unpopular, especially in the western part of his country. This man wanted to link the Ukraine with Russia in a treaty of friendship, but the westerners who do not speak Russian could not accept this plan. So for many weeks large numbers of Ukranians have been protesting on the streets with the result that many people have been killed. Finally, because he could not control the disturbances, Yanukovich has disappeared. The previous president, Timoshenko, whom Yanukovich had unjustly imprisoned, has been freed and now hopes to become president again, but few people trust her. The situation is on a knife edge.
