I don't tend to get weepy when I read the news, but then I started reading all the stories about Oksana Makar. I think her story touches on all the issues I care most about and a lot of the things I find most frustrating about Ukraine.
This is a good article summarizing the original events.
She put up a tough fight, but yesterday she died.
If you really want to read more, here are links to Persephone Magazine's coverage:

Part 3
Part 4
You can also read the New York Times article, though I find its coverage disappointing and lacking.
This makes me so sad. Rest in peace, Oksana.
