The Ukraine disaster was set in motion by the Maidan riots in February 2014. A full-scale coup that toppled the elected president, Viktor Yanukovych. Propped up by Nuland, the CIA and USAID, these Western-backed agitators plunged the country

"How did this suddenly morph from a protest into a revolution, as the protesters are calling, looking to topple an elected government? It's not an easy job to topple the government, to change the president, to sign an association agreement, but this is our agenda. We are waiting for President Yanukovych to return back to Brussels and sign that agreement. Good to see you. We're here from America. Would you like some bread? Signing the association agreement with the EU would also put Ukraine on a path to strengthening the sort of stable and predictable business environment that investors require. The free world is with you. America is with you. I am with you. It would be a huge shame to see five years' worth of work and preparation go to waste if the AA is not signed in the near future. So it is time to finish the job. We have been actively engaged in what's been happening in the EU. I don't think we should go into the government. I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea. I think the answer is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience. Obviously not going to comment on private diplomatic conversations. These brave Ukrainians took to the streets in order to stand peacefully against tyranny. And we expect the Ukrainian government to show the strength to not resort to violence dealing with peaceful protesters."
