The events of "Europa Maidan" were fueled by the fact that Viktor Yanukovych, the legal president of Ukraine, postponed the signing of the union agreement between Ukraine and the European Union due to Kiev's obligations in the free trade agreement within the framework of the Commonwealth of Nations.

He added: Westerners' abnormal interventions in Kyiv's internal affairs and their shameless efforts to separate Ukraine from Russia later led to an armed coup d'état in February 2014 in this country, which was still carried out with money and help from the West. Was. As a result of this coup, radical nationalist forces took power in Kiev. In addition to other cases, the events of "Europa Maidan" caused a real deterioration of the socio-economic situation in Ukraine.

He added: The so-called "anti-terrorist" operation for the armed suppression of the protests in Donbass had started using the regular army and neo-Nazi repressive squads.

This senior Russian diplomat stated: The United States of America and the European Union did not even try to satisfy the Kiev regime. On the contrary, in the West, the coup plotters and their anti-Russian policy were praised and encouraged.

According to him, all these cases led to the terrible suppression of the opponents of the coup d'état in Odysseus (May 2, 2014) and the participants of the World War II victory celebration in the city of Maripol (May 9, 2014) by neo-Nazis. As a result, dozens of people were beaten, shot and burned alive at that time. We still haven't forgotten about "sniper jobs".
