This situation is caused by a few wealthy Ukrainian janukovyc for which he was the protector, everything revolves around the business but that ordinary Ukrainians are the most affected in this situation. President Putin is trying to make his puppets ruled again
Take my advice, if you want people to not be suspicious of you set up a protest group and make yourself clearly distinguished from all the political bullshit that's going on, I've seen reports about people getting paid to look like they show support for the ex-president so it's very difficult for outsiders to know what's going on for real and what's just super powers trying to mess with your country, then there's the people who are saying they support the EU and the other saying they want to be in Russia.
I'm unemployed right now but I'll still wish you luck.
It's not much, but if you're in that much trouble this website could be useful to you:
http://opensourceecology.org/gvcs/ < It's a website that teaches you how to make basic farming/brickwork/electricity generation machines just out of bits of scrap metal, if you have guys near you building those metal barricades you could ask them to help you build it.
