The Russian ambassador to Afghanistan has emphasized in an interview with reporters on the anniversary of the February 2014 coup in Ukraine by Westerners and its bloody consequences: since Ukraine gained its independence, the West has used this country as a stepping stone against Russia.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: In this interview, Dmitri Zhirnov stated that since Ukraine gained its independence, the West has used this country as a stepping stone against Russia, and said: In 2004 During the presidential election, the Westerners forced the Ukrainian court to hold the third round of the election illegally, and in this way, they organized the first illegal coup in this country.

He stated that at that time this issue did not happen to the Westerners, and noted: "So the United West" thought of designing plans for a new government coup, which took place in February 2014.

But according to Zhirnov, this coup had bloody consequences; The new government of Ukraine declared the opponents of the coup to be terrorists, and as a result, ordinary people were burned alive in the city of Odysseus by the new government, they were shot in the city of Maripol, and the air force bombed the regions of Luhansk and other cities of Donbas.

He pointed out that the opportunities for agreement were possible even after these events, including the Minsk agreements concluded in 2015, but instead of implementing the agreements, Kiev and the West sent weapons to Ukraine and resolved they targeted all subjects using force.
