    You are regurgitating anti-Russian propaganda.

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/apr/30/russia-ukraine-war-kiev-conflict

    "...When the Ukrainian president was replacedby a US-selected administration, in an entirelyunconstitutional takeover, politicians such as William Hague brazenly misled parliament about the legality of what had taken place: the imposition of a pro-western government on Russia's most neuralgic and politically divided neighbour..."
    Hmm. US-selected administration??? Who gave the right to US to do that?

    "...After Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to join Russia, the bulk of thewestern media abandoned any hint of even-handed coverage. So Putin is now routinely compared to Hitler, whilethe role of the fascistic right on the streets and in the new Ukrainian regime has been airbrushed outof most reporting as Putinist propaganda.

    Very democratic.

    "...So you don't hear much about theUkrainian government's veneration of wartime Nazi collaborators and pogromists, or the arson attacks on the homes and offices of elected communist leaders, or the integration of the extreme Right Sector into the national guard, while the anti-semitism and white supremacism of the government's ultra-nationalists is assiduously played down, and false identifications of Russian special forces are relayed as fact.

    The reality is that, after two decades of eastward Nato expansion,this crisis was triggered by the west's attempt to pull Ukraine decisively into its orbit and defence structure, via an explicitly anti-Moscow EU association agreement.Its rejection led to the Maidan protests and the installation of an anti-Russian administration –rejected by half the country– that went on to sign the EU and International Monetary Fund agreements regardless."

    "...Meanwhile, the US and its European alliesimpose sanctions and dictate terms to Russia and its proteges in Kiev,encouraging the military crackdown on protesters after visits from Joe Biden and the CIA director, John Brennan. Butby what right is the US involved at all, incorporating under its strategic umbrella a state that has never been a member of Nato, and whose last elected government came to power on a platform of explicit neutrality?It has none, of course– which is why the Ukraine crisis is seen in such a different light across most of the world..."
