It is pretty crazy how completely different the Maidan was painted in the West, I have to admit I was at that time also still a lib and believed that this was a good thing so they could get out from under Putins boot, that was in hindsight obviously pretty stupid of me. That I until today didn't know that those snipers in Kiev were a false flag puts the cherry on top.
I remember reporting about that tragedy in Odessa as well, and I'm pretty sure it was painted as Russian aligned people or something like that being fought back by Ukrainian freedom fighters. Of course they didn't care to mention that these freedom fighters were Nazis and other such good folks.
Ukraine seems really fucked in any way you look at it. And then they get this Comedian Zelenskiy bankrolled by this billionaire Kolomoisky:
Kolomoisky is known for a number of seizures of state assets, including operations where he was able to sue the Ukrainian government for millions. One of his calling cards in the past 20 years has been using his own army of thugs in supporting various hostile takeovers, from factories to state energy companies. His alliance with the Euromaidan coalition led to him being appointed governor of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Among the numerous armed groups of men who formed the backbone of Euromaidan, Kolomoiski saw an opportunity to bolster the ranks of his private security forces. He is the principal funder of the far-right organisations who came out of the events, including Right Sector - who torched the KPU offices in Kiev - and the openly neo-Nazi Azov battalion, now organised as the Nats Korpus political party. In 2015, his thugs seized the HQ of the partially state-owned oil company UkrTransNafta, which led to his falling out with Poroshenko and dismissal as governor, as well as the state nationalisation of PrivatBank. source
Let's hope that the people, after being disillusioned again - now by this president, will realize that it would be best to return to tradition. :cat-com:
But I guess that is more wishful thinking than anything else.
Big thanks for those links on Donetsk and Luhansk, I will give that a look later. :fidel-salute:
