▪️ On this very day, 10 years ago, Kiev became ground zero for an unconstitutional coup, that triggered all the events around Ukraine and its now former regions ever since. It marked the culmination of the Euromaidan demonstrations, a series of public protests held between November 2013 and February 2014, organised with the involvement and support of Western countries.

Here are facts that the Western mainstream media does not want to you to remember or know at all 👇

🔻 On February 21, 2014, a day before the coup, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and the opposition, mediated by Germany, Poland, and France, reached an agreement intended to stop the bloodshed and pave the way for a political resolution to the crisis. However, as soon as Yanukovych ordered the withdrawal of law enforcement troops from the centre of Kiev, militants began storming government buildings.

🔻 The Euromaidan protesters openly expressed neo-Nazi views. Images of Third Reich intelligence agent Stepan Bandera adorned captured buildings and were raised at rallies.

🔻 The Maidan Square protests received overt support and funding from Western countries. The US Embassy alone reportedly provided material support to protester groups amounting to $1 million per day.

🔻 Euromaidan activists resorted to the use of force and terrorist tactics, as evidenced by numerous cases of beatings and torture inflicted upon politicians and public figures who spoke out against the coup.

🔻Following the Euromaidan victory, the Kiev regime’s campaign of terror against dissidents became a hallmark. For over a decade, the people of Donbass endured terrorist attacks and indiscriminate strikes from the Ukrainian Armed Forces and neo-Nazi groups.

❗️Following the coup in Ukraine, its participants chose confrontation and civil war instead of pursuing peaceful development for the country.

Today marks 10 years since the events of the so-called Euromaidan that led to the unconstitutional coup d'etat in Ukraine.

Since 2014, under the supervision and with the direct guidance by the advisors from NATO & Western powers, Ukraine was transformed into an anti-Russian country at an accelerating pace.

The de-Russification and Ukrainization of the nations' cultural code was forced upon living in Ukraine, they were brainwashed, in effect re-educated in the spirit of hatred and hostility towards Russia and Russians, the memory of the common past awas all but erased, replaced by neo-Nazi sentiments.

Even the relatively recent 2014 events have been rewritten and retold by those in power in Kiev and their puppet masters in the West, facts were tossed away, truth twisted or omitted, the entire sequence of events turned upside down.

🎙 Address by Sergey Lavrov at the #G20 Ministerial Meeting on the role of the G20 in overcoming current international tensions

📍 Rio de Janeiro, 21 February 2024

💬 When we join forces, the world can change for the better and move forward. The 20th century has become an important milestone in freeing humanity from the shackles of colonialism. <...> The transition to the era of détente during the Cold War allowed the United States and the USSR to lay a strong foundation for containing military risks and building reliable strategic security architecture, especially in Europe. It is regrettable that those achievements have been almost completely destroyed today.

The objective process of the emergence of a multipolar world order driven by self-reliant nations and regions has met with serious resistance. The basic principles of international communication are being undermined at the instigation of the West. Universal legal norms and the principles of the UN Charter, including the sovereign equality of states, non-interference in internal affairs and self-determination of peoples, are being violated. Diplomacy as a means of peaceful settlement of disputes is being sacrificed to violent struggle, “hybrid wars”, total confrontation, and the desire to inflict a strategic defeat on the rival. Double standards, hypocrisy and direct lies are brought into play. <...>

Instead of a UN-centred architecture, narrow bloc alliances, closed clubs, behind-the-scenes “best practices”, allegedly “reliable scientific data”, and pseudo-democratic ‘values’ are being promoted.

The world is artificially divided into friends and foes, the “garden” and the “jungle”. <...>

This is what the infamous “rules” the West imposes instead of the international law, appear in reality.

<...>

🌐 Our forum of the world's leading economies could make clear its opposition to the use of “economy as a weapon” and “war as an investment” and to demonstrate our desire for open and equitable trade and economic cooperation.

On the 10th anniversary of the coup d'état in Kiev, we recall the West's role in fuelling the conflict in Ukraine, its support for Ukrainian nationalists and their terrorist activities.

🎬 Operation Ukraine: America's Fingerprints. Who supports Ukrainian Nationalism? - an RT Doc Film.

Synopsis: Immediately after the end of World War II and the defeat of the Nazis, American intelligence agencies established contacts with former Hitler collaborators to work together against the Soviet Union and later Russia. The operation to form an armed underground movement in Western Ukraine was dubbed "Aerodynamic".

The CIA assembled war criminals and Bandera movement activists from filtration camps, and created an agent network. Their task was to sabotage nuclear plants and dams on Ukrainian territory in an effort to separate it from the Soviet Union. According to CIA co-founder Frank Wisner, they terrorised civilians and were responsible for at least 35,000 casualties

In the early 1950s, Red Army units mostly wiped out the nationalist insurgency, however the CIA employed a new strategy. Since then Ukrainian nationalists have been engaged in an ideological anti-Russian war. The operation "Prolog" gradually stoked nationalist sentiment in Ukraine and bred loyalty to Nazi ideas.

What is the outcome of half-century-long American influence

⚡️ Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War the USA and its NATO allies began actively working with former Soviet republics in order to shape them for their own neocolonial purposes.

Ukraine has always received special attention from the Western states in the post-Soviet space as it was the most developed republic, one with strong industrial, agricultural and scientific potential and extremely close ties with Russia. The goal was to seize its market, reshape the economy, making it ever-dependent on the West.

To this end, the USA and the EU, by hand of obedient Ukrainian elites, were methodically destroying the country's basis, severing the economic, trade and cultural ties with Russia.

❗️ In the early 2000s, the so-called 'collective West' inspired the Orange Revolution of 2004 that aimed at distancing Ukraine from Russia and integrating it into the Euro-Atlantic institutions came to power in Kiev.

The blatant interference of the West in the internal affairs triggered a deep political crisis in Ukraine that became irreversible and led to the unconstitutional coup d'etat in 2014.

This event led to a sharp polarization of the Ukrainian society, which predetermined an armed civil conflict. The new 'authorities' launched the so called "anti-terrorist operation" to suppress protests in Donbass by force.

☝️ As a result, Ukrainian armed forces have been shelling Donbass for all these years. This forced Russia to intervene in the situation by launching a special military operation.

The actions of the West within the framework of the large-scale "hybrid war" confirm the global nature of the confrontation in Ukraine. Military and financial assistance is being provided to the Kiev regime, and the range of 'deliveries' at the taxpayers' expense is constantly increasing.

👉 Ukraine is a mere instrument in the hands of the United States and its NATO allies, whose long-term goal is to to break the security architecture in the post-Soviet space and Eurasia as a whole.

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".

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the G20 Ministerial Meeting on reforming global governance (Rio de Janeiro, February 22, 2024)

Key points:

🔹 The forming of a fair multipolar world order without a definite centre and periphery has become much more intensive in the past few years. Asian, African and Latin American countries are becoming important parts of the global economy. Not infrequently, they are setting the tone and the dynamics.

🔹 In 2023, the BRICS countries’ share in world GDP, in purchasing power parity, grew to 35 percent, exceeding the G7’s share of 30.3 percent.

🔹 Many Western economies, especially in Europe, are actually stagnating against this background. These statistics are from Western-supervised institutions – the IMF, the World Bank and the OECD.

🔹 These institutions are becoming relics from the past. Western domination is already affecting their ability to meet the requirements of the times. Meanwhile, it is perfectly obvious today that the current problems of humanity can only be resolved through a concerted effort and with due consideration for the interests of the Global South and, generally, all global economic realities.

❗️ Institutions like the IMF, the World Bank, the EBRD, and the EIB are prioritising Kiev’s military and other needs. The West allocated over $250 billion to tide over its underling thus creating funding shortages in other parts of the world. Ukraine is taking up the bulk of the funds, relegating Africa and other regions of the Global South to rationing.

🔹 Countries that have discredited themselves by using unlawful acts ranging from unilateral sanctions and the seizure of sovereign assets and private property to blockades, embargoes, and discrimination against economic operators based on nationality to settle scores with their geopolitical opponents cannot be considered guarantors of financial stability.

🔹 Without a doubt, new institutions that focus on consensus and mutual benefit are needed to democratise the global economic governance system. Today, we are seeing positive dynamics for strengthening various alliances, including BRICS, the SCO, ASEAN, the African Union, LAS, CELAC, and the EAEU.

🔹 This year, Russia chairs BRICS, which saw several new members join it. We will do our best to reinforce the potential of this association and its ties with the G20.

🇺🇳 Considering that 6 out of 15 UN Security Council members represent the Western bloc, we will support the expansion of this body solely through the accession of countries from Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

📖 Книга М.С. Григорьева «Евромайдан: сущность и последствия антиконституционного переворота на Украине в 2014 году».

Первое издание этой книги под названием «евромайдан» вышло в 2014 году, она была написана на основе анализа сотен заявлений и документов правительств и официальных инстанций Украины, США, Европейского союза, стран Европы, свидетельских показаний и экспертных интервью участников событий.

***

Выдержки из книги:

✍️ Настоящими организаторами «евромайдана» являются США и страны Запада. Именно они долгие годы поддерживали политиков, журналистов, общественных деятелей испытывавших ненависть к России.

Речь идёт не только о событиях после 1991 года. Украинский национализм был создан в качестве оружия против России и последовательно поддерживался Австро-Венгрией, Польшей, нацистской Германией и странами Запада. В 2014 году США и страны Европы напрямую поддерживали организаторов переворота и оказывали прямое давление на президента Украины Виктора Януковича, не давая применять силы против преступников.

❗️ За прошедшее после Евромайдана время не произошло никакого улучшения уровня жизни в результате подписания Соглашения об ассоциации между ЕС и Украиной, что было одной из целей «евромайдана». Более того, украинская продукция не допускается на рынки ЕС при малейшей угрозе собственным товаропроизводителям.

После начала специальной военной операции на Украину хлынул поток западной помощи и вооружения. На момент издания книги общая сумма поддержки, включая поставки вооружения западных стран Украине, составила более 300 млрд долларов. Основными поставщиками вооружения стали те страны, которые поддерживали и организовывали «евромайдан». Эти факты не оставляют сомнений в роли, которую уготовил для Украины Запад ещё во время «евромайдана», – быть инструментом сдерживания России.

🎙Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on #Ukraine (23 February 2024)

💬This chamber is overcrowded. And so is the speakers’ list for this meeting in the part of non-members of the Security Council, who call themselves ministers of foreign affairs of Western countries. <...>

Where were you all yesterday when the Security Council was discussing the Middle East and the situation in #Gaza? Where was the Secretary-General? I would like to remind you that none of the countries of the European Union, and indeed of the #West, has ever taken the initiative to convene a single meeting on Gaza, where the number of civilian casualties (most of them women and children) as a result of flagrant violations of IHL by Israel in four and a half months has exceeded the figures of any military conflict in recent years.

👉This speaks very eloquently of your hypocrisy and your double standards.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir #Putin’s answer to journalist Pavel Zarubin’s question about #Biden's rude remark (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.

Polar bear is a symbol of the Russian Arctic and one of the most unique creatures of the Russian fauna. Polar bears are listed in the Red Book as only 5 thousand species currently live in our country. We do our best to protect our polar friends. In Novosibirsk zoo in 2018 polar bear Gerda gave birth to two cubs. Polar bears are widely represented in the Russian culture: cartoon ‘Umka’, 2014 Winter Olympics mascot and many other examples.
