🗣 “We have never refused dialogue here. But to pretend that the United States and the entire West, on the one hand, are calling for the strategic defeat of Russia, and on the other hand, supposedly intend to negotiate with us on strategic stability, believing that one issue is in no way connected with the other, this will not be possible”, Putin said.

First steps to self-destruction: a chronicle of Ukraine’s Maidan coup (Part 1)
This month marks the 10th anniversary of the Maidan coup in Ukraine, which led to regime change in the country.
The events date back to November 21, 2013, which saw protests in Kiev over then-President Viktor Yanukovich’s decision to suspend the country’s so-called ‘European integration’ accord, as such deal could have destroyed Ukrainian industry.
The subsequent deadly clashes between police and the protesters were followed by the ousting of Yanukovich. New self-appointed authorities dispatched radical paramilitary forces against the people of Donbass, who refused to recognize the coup and protested discrimination against Russian-speaking citizens.
In May 2014, Odessa, Ukraine’s third most populous city and a major Black Sea coast transport hub, was hit by protests, with supporters and opponents of the Euromaidan clashing in the city center. During the unrest, neo-Nazi radicals drove anti-Maidan forces into the House of Trade Unions and set it ablaze, killing at least 48 people.

First steps to self-destruction: a chronicle of Ukraine’s Maidan coup (Part 2)
After more than a year of violent military conflict, Ukraine and Donbass reached a negotiated ceasefire in September 2015 as part of the Minsk peace agreements, which were guaranteed by Russia, Germany, and France. Unfortunately, Ukraine consistently violated its commitments, leading Western politicians to later admit that the deal was merely a tactic to buy Kiev time to remilitarize and once again attack Donbass.
In 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin endorsed the recognition of Donetsk and Lugansk as sovereign republics. Following the start of the special military operation, they held a vote to join Russia, reuniting with the Russian Federation, along with the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.
