KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — In a somber show of U.S. support for Ukraine's new leadership, Secretary of State John Kerry walked the streets Tuesday where nearly 100 anti-government protesters were gunned down by police last month, and promised beseeching crowds that American aid is on the way.
The Obama administration announced a $1 billion energy subsidy package in Washington as Kerry was arriving in Kiev. The fast-moving developments came as the United States readied economic sanctions amid worries that Moscow was ready to stretch its military reach further into the mainland of the former Soviet republic.
Kerry headed straight to Institutska Street at the start of an hours-long visit intended to bolster the new government that took over just a week ago when Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych fled. He lay a bouquet of red roses, and twice the Roman Catholic secretary of state made the sign of the cross at a shrine set up to memorialize protesters who were killed during mid-February riots.
"We're concerned very much. We hope for your help, we hope for your assistance," a woman shouted as Kerry walked down a misty street lined with tires, plywood, barbed wire and other remnants of the barricades that protesters had stood up to try to keep Yanukovych's forces from reaching nearby Maidan Square, the heart of the demonstrations.

While back in the ghettos of the united states and the homeless people on the streets here in our country dying everyday without water, heat, electricity we don't have the money to take care of our own cause the funds isn't there. Yet the United States has 1.5 billion for Egypt, 15 million for Syrian Rebels and another 1 billion for the Ukraine. 2.5 billion 1.5 million to be wasted on corrupt countries and yet out currant leadership cannot find the assistance to help Americans.
I saw a bill board recently that stated 1 out of every 6 American families suffer from hunger. Perhaps we should ship the hungry families to the Ukraine, Syria or Egypt
