> Poroshenko was the guy who signed the EU deal in 2014, immediately after the revolution.

It was prepared, negotiated and ready to be signed before 2013 by previous president. The fact that he refused to do so in last minute was what started the peaceful protests by students.

The beating of protesting students by militia caused the following events.




Yes everything that followed was entirely without US agency support. How convenient.


Contrary to what you are saying, it is documented that militia was controlled by russians, with curators from FSB.

They were instigating violence for their benefit, but failed miserably and achieved the opposite of what was intended.


Please let me understand what you believe, what you mean by “helped overthrow” in case of ukraine.

In your opinion:

- were people happy with the president? Did people come voluntarily?

- What did US do?
