On the 10th anniversary of the coup d'état in Kiev, we recall the historical origins of the terrorist methods of the Kiev regime, its masterminds and the roots of Ukrainian neo-Nazism, as well as the destructive role of the West.

🎬 Operation Ukraine. Terror on Demand - RT documentary.

Synopsis: The murder of Daria Dugina, the bombing of the Crimean Bridge, torture and torment in secret prisons - the pattern and methods of modern Ukrainian neo-Nazis are unmistakable. The The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) inherited them from their predecessors - the Bandera Nazis, collaborators who ruthlessly exterminated their compatriots.

The Ukrainian Nazis were actively supported by the US: it conducted covert operations on the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, funded certain groups and, after the collapse of the USSR, systematically revived the ideology of Nazism in Ukraine.

The West intended to plunge Ukraine into bloody terror in order to separate the republic from the Soviet Union and weaken the USSR's influence on the world stage. It was a covert operation - "Aerodynamic".

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin’s answer to journalist Pavel Zarubin’s question (February 22, 2024)

❓US President Biden came up with another rude remark about you. You have never said anything like that about any foreign leader, and you have never even taken the liberty to make any inappropriate remark. Will you respond the same way now?

💬 Vladimir Putin: Look, we recently talked and you asked me who we prefer to see as the new US president. I said we would work with any president. But for Russia, Biden is preferable. I am right, judging by what he said, because it is an adequate reaction to what I said.

Why? Because he cannot say to me, “Great, Vlad, thank you, you helped me a lot.” We understand what’s going on there in terms of domestic policy, and this is an absolutely adequate reaction. Which means I was right.

What I said was basically for our domestic audience, not the US. You are a Russian journalist, and you asked me what’s [who] better for us. I said then, and I will say it again: Biden.
