Ukraine: Twitter Accounts To Follow

There's a lot of information coming out of Ukraine, so much so that it's daunting to accurately follow what's happening. While digital news outlets are quick to jump on stories, Twitter has become a source for breaking news, especially in places like Ukraine.

Here are 10 Twitter accounts that are highly active in Ukraine. Seven are international journalists, one is a revolutionary-leaning newspaper, another is a Russian ministry and one is a active voice in the EuroMaidan movement. If you're looking for the latest from the Ukraine, these are the Twitter accounts to pay attention to.

Simon Shuster - Time, Moscow: More on-the-ground coverage in Ukraine. A great source for longer, in-depth pieces on Ukraine.

Russian Federation Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is clearly a government entity, but if you're looking for breaking news from the Russians, this is one place to get it. It's not a news agency; instead their account posts official updates and statements from the Russian MFA. Often links to Itar-Tass, the Russian government press. To be taken with a grain of salt. Don't bother following Putin.

Kateryna Kruk, activist and political scientist: A member of the EuroMaidan movement. Her highly active account has attracted the attention of Western journalists. She updates on the overall situation in Ukraine, but more specifically on news coming from Kiev and the newly elected government.
