My @CNNBrasil interview re Maidan massacre: "In a Zoom conversation, Professor Katchanovski told me the result of the investigation he carried out into the Maidan massacre, an essential event in the destabilization and change of government in Ukraine." 1/ cnnbrasil.com.br/internacional/…
@CNNBrasil My @CNNBrasil interview: "He analyzed video footage, the result of ballistic tests that show bullet trajectories, spoke with witnesses and has no doubt: the protesters killed in the square were murdered by snipers who were positioned in buildings controlled by the protesters" 2/
My @CNNBrasil interview: "“In fact,” he said, “two of these snipers were captured by the protesters and, after being handed over to the leaders of the movement, they disappeared.” Three months of protests ended with the murder of around 50 protesters on February 20, 2014." 3/
My @CNNBrasil interview: "President Viktor Yanukovych, who had already agreed to bring forward the presidential elections, left the country. Before the uprising began, Yanukovych had refused to sign a cooperation agreement with the European Union." 4/ #Ukraine#Ukraina#Russia
My CNN Brazil interview: There are those who call this whole process a coup – Russia. But the new government was immediately recognized by NATO allies. Eight years after the massacre and the change of government, nobody is arrested or convicted for Maidan massacre in Ukraine. 5/
CNN Brazil: American diplomat, historian, and professor Jack F. Matlock Jr. in a University of North Carolina publication: "The crisis that the world is now following, step by step, has its roots in the so-called Ukrainian Revolution of 2014, which reflects this historic divide."
CNN Brazil: "Later, between 1987 and 1991, he was the American ambassador to Moscow... And here, when talking about the revolution that brought protesters together in Maidan Square, the historian and ambassador cites research by University of Ottawa professor Ivan Katchanovski."
The hidden origin of the escalating Ukraine-Russia conflict: Events of the Maidan massacre shaped one of the most controversial hours in European history since the end of the Cold War. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
Another big question now is whether #Russian military forces that are deployed by Putin to separatist-controlled #Donbas would fire or come under fire from #Ukraine forces. This can lead to armed Ukraine-Russia conflict in #Donbass & other parts of Ukraine #UkraineRussiaCrisis
My article shows that Russian military forces were covertly deployed in support of #Donbas separatists in Aug 2014 & Feb 2015. #Russian military then fought, encircled & defeated #Ukrainian forces & far-right led units during Ilovaisk & Debaltsevo battles. researchgate.net/publication/29…
Far right organizations & their volunteer battalions & paramilitary units "had a significant role in the civil war in Donbas but a comparably minor role in fighting with several regular Russian military units during direct military interventions by Russia" researchgate.net/publication/30…
As I predicted in my research-based interviews, publications & social media posts, #Putin just recognized independence of #Donetsk & #Luhansk separatist republics in #Donbas in #Ukraine
My @MintPressNews comment is republished in Albanian media: “People who take at face value the Western media coverage would have a very distorted perception of the Ukraine conflict and its origin,” Ivan Katchanovski... told MintPress..." #UkraineCrisis hashtag.al/index.php/2022…
"They omit or deny that there is a civil war in Donbas even though the majority of scholars who [have] published or presented concerning this conflict in Western academic venues classify it as a civil war with Russian military intervention." #UkraineRussiaCrisis#UkraineCrisis
"The Western media also omitted that recent ‘unity marches’ in Kharkiv and Kyiv and a staged training of civilians, including a grandmother, were organized and led by the far right, in particular, the Neo-Nazi Azov [Battalion].”
Yes, @ABC video showed instructors from neo-Nazi-led Azov regiment leading this propaganda show. But ABC & other Western media deliberately omitted involvement of Azov, whose funding & training was banned by US Congress. This is 3d time that Western media glorify far-right shows.
Western media again deliberately omit that this march in Kyiv in #Ukraine is organized & led by far-right. Far-right chants "Glory to Nation! Death to Enemies!" & "Ukraine Above All," organizations, leaders, symbols & red & black flags are not reported. reuters.com/world/europe/t…
And @FRANCE24 omits that this march in #Kyiv in #Ukraine is organized & led by far right. Far-right chants "Glory to Nation! Death to Enemies!" & "Ukraine Above All!," organizations, leaders, symbols & red & black flags are not reported. france24.com/en/live-news/2…
And @axios omits that this march in #Kyiv in #Ukraine is organized & led by far right. Far-right chants "Glory to Nation! Death to Enemies!" & "Ukraine Above All!," organizations, leaders, symbols & red & black flags are not reported. #UkraineCrisis axios.com/in-photos-prot…
But false-flag #Maidan massacre in #Ukraine is covered-up: "The United States has received new intelligence suggesting that a “false flag” operation by Russia is in the works to justify an invasion into Ukraine..."
