In February 2021 -- more than a year before Russian troops entered Ukraine en masse -- the inspiring democrat, President Zelensky, banned 3 popular opposition TV networks by accusing them of spreading Russian disinformation.

It'd be as if Biden banned Fox or Trump banned CNN:🇺🇦

In 2014 -- after Victoria Nuland, @ChrisMurphyCT, John McCain etc. used NED to fund protests in Kiev to remove the democratically elected leader and replace him with an unelected pro-US puppet -- Kiev began bombing ethnic Russian civilians in Donbas:

@ChrisMurphyCT It's bizarre to watch history re-written in real time to serve war propaganda: how Azov Battalion was described as neo-Nazi by western elites, only to be turned into heroic warriors the minute we armed them.

Read @seanmdav buried history on Ukraine:

@ChrisMurphyCT @seanmdav In 2004, the US/EU's favorite Ukrainian candidate lost to Viktor Yanukovych (the same elected President whom the US helped push out in 2014).

The EU and State Dept did then what they just did to Romania: nullified the election and re-ran it until they got their desired outcome.

@ChrisMurphyCT @seanmdav The US has been micromanaging Ukraine for years. Recall how Biden boasted that he got a Kiev prosecutor fired upon threat of withholding $1 billion in aid.

Imagine if China were governing Mexico that way, putting their military alliance there, and drowning it with weapons.

@ChrisMurphyCT @seanmdav The US long knew that threatening NATO expansion up to the Ukraine/Russia border would cause Russia to invade.

Thanks to @wikileaks, we can read Bill Burns' 2008 memo, where he said even anti-Putin factions regard that as an existential threat.👇
