They are fascists. The Ukrainian government? They members of the Svoda in the Cabinet. They were also the force behind the foreign supported coup. You trying to tell me they're not fascists even though they are?
Overthrowing a legitimately elected government (UN observed) through the use of fascists and it was completely the fault of the United States as they were the ones pushing and supporting them. It isn't even a secret. That shit is highly illegal. The legally elected representative of the Ukraine asked Russia for help. But you think some how that's against the rules? You're so fucking deluded it's disgusting. Go drink some more American only propaganda. Hell, they recently legalized the use of psychological tactics to further push their agenda (not that they weren't using them before, but hey, at least now they're fucking open about it).
I'm sorry but how many Ukrainians do you know? I know many and am I'm friends with several Maidan activists, including people whose family members were Euromaidan activists. Go chug down your Russian propaganda. They wanted closer integration with Europe. You need to remember that Yanukovych had imprisoned his political opponents Yuriy Lutsenko and Yulia Tymoshenko. Yushchenko even went so far as to testify against Tymoshenko and call it "a normal judicial process." Since when have you heard of a President testifying against a political opponent in a political trail?
In 2013 when Ukraine and the EU signed an Association Agreement for greater cooperation and trade, Russia banned all imports from the Ukraine to put political pressure on them to make them go away from the deal. Yanukovych in 2013 went to Vilinius to initially sign the Association Agreement with the EU, which is what he told his government he was going to do
and didn't. It was then signaled that both Yanukovych and EU officials wanted a later date on signing it. By March 57% of Ukrainians supported Euromaidan. Harvard University conducted a study as well examining examining public opinion and social media finding that 74% of Russian speakers in Ukraine supported the Euromaidan movement, with only a quarter opposed. 46% of Ukrainians supported the integration of the country into EU, and 36% in December.
Remember the Orange Revolution in Ukraine? When Yanukovych had to resign due to
voting irregularities and voter fraud? Yaroslav Hrytsak, Doctor of Historical Sciences and visiting professor of the Central European University, a very well renown Ukrainian historian said, "This is a revolution of the generation that we call the contemporaries of Ukraine's independence (who were born around the time of 1991); it is more similar to the Occupy Wall Street protests or those in Istanbul demonstrations (of this year). It's a revolution of young people who are very educated, people who are active in social media, who are mobile and 90 percent of whom have university degrees, but who don't have futures." In
every poll that was taken for greater European integration it was found that the lowest support was among people with incomplete secondary and higher education. By 2014, protests against the Yanukovych government
appeared all over Ukraine.
Also, remember, it was Yanukovych who
fled Ukraine and abandoned his post as President, only after sicking BERKUT officers on the protesters and
that's what turned the protests violent. I was following the news on this
every single day, looking at at least 10 different news sources including Russia Today knowing full well it was the media wing of the Russian government. I was in contact about twice a week with my friends on Skype making sure that they were okay.
And as far "Overthrowing a legitimately elected government (UN observed) through the use of fascists?" Look at Crimea and what Russia did there. Tell me it's not a flagrant violation of international law and I'll know you know
nothing about international law.
Furthermore, while there might be fascist leaning ultranationalists in the Verkhovna Rada they are not a majority and they are there directly because of Russia trying to meddle in Ukraine's internal affairs thus fueling nationalism.
