Euromaidan Was Part of West's Proxy War Against Russia – CIA Veteran

Exactly ten years ago, former President Viktor Yanukovych signed an agreement with the Euromaidan opposition to resolve the political crisis in Ukraine. The very next day, the opposition tore up the agreement and seized power by force.

Months of Euromaidan riots ended with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych agreeing to reform the constitution, form a "government of national unity," and hold early elections in December 2014. The then-Ukrainian president also agreed to pardon rioters and launch investigations into violent acts by law enforcement officials.

How West & Ukrainian Opposition Derailed Peace Accords

The February 21 agreements to end the political crisis in Ukraine were signed by Yanukovych and opposition leaders Vitaly Klitschko (Udar Party), Arseniy Yatsenyuk (Batkivshchyna), and Oleh Tyahnybok (ultranationalist Svoboda Party*) in the presence of German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, and Eric Fournier, director of the Continental Europe Department at the French Foreign Ministry.

Although the agreement guaranteed by the EU powers appeared to be solid, it barely lasted 24 hours: on February 22, 2014, the buildings of the presidential administration, the Verkhovna Rada, and the Cabinet of Ministers were seized by violent protesters. The Maidan leaders appointed Oleksandr Turchynov as head of the Verkhovna Rada in violation of the country's constitution, effectively ousting Yanukovych.

Speaking to US journalist Tucker Carlson on February 9, 2024, President Putin insisted that the coup was "unnecessary" because Yanukovych had agreed to meet the demands of the Maidan leaders.

Yanukovych went on the air from Kharkiv on February 22, 2014, and insisted that he would not resign: "I am a legally elected president. What is happening is fragrant vandalism and banditry and a coup d'etat," he said.

Nonetheless, EU leaders openly signaled that they would work with the "new government" of Ukraine, thus destroying the agreements they had previously.......

I truly believe that there are a fair number of dolts who thought it was good because they like traveling to Europe and who could oppose a maiden?

Laugh, but I guarantee it’s true.

A coup was staged in Ukraine by the “Deep State” in 2014 and the rest is history.

Idiocy. Its simple. Nobody wants what the Russians are selling. Giving people a better option, a higher standard of living is "Part of West's Proxy War Against Russia"

EVERY country in eastern Europe has joined, or wants to join the EU, because it has a much higher standard of living vs some Russian-BananaStan Economic Group(CIS).

However, the real target of the US-backed regime change in Kiev was Russia, according to Larry Johnson, a retired CIA intelligence officer and State Department official.

More Larry Johnson BS, propagated by Russian State Media!

Yeah, they used a MAGIC MINDRAY and DRUGS IN THE WATER SUPPLY to get 800,000 Ukrainians in the streets of Kyiv.

No independent news reporting even vaguely supports this "CIA coup" nonsense. None.

Biden’s open border is part of his West’s proxy war against America.

(that’s more concerning than what’s happening on the other side of the planet)

No, they used 5 billion dollars, an array of experts and a several years of fanning the embers of Banderist nazism.
