#2 The United States engineered a regime change in Ukraine after President Viktor Yanukovych refused to sign an EU agreement and IMF loan.
Yanukovych deemed Russia's $15 billion bailout package and discounted gas prices to be a superior offer compared to the West's proposal.
#3 The violent overthrow of Ukraine's elected government caused the Russian-speaking populations of Eastern Ukraine to vote to break apart from the newly formed western-backed government in Ukraine.
#4 For example, 97% of Crimea declared independence and voted overwhelmingly to secede and join Russia.

Millions of innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire of a geopolitical chess match.
#6 The Western media's coverage overlooks the US's role in the 2014 coup, Eastern Ukraine's referendums, and the War in Donbas, which culminated in Russia's 2022 invasion.
