Original Note:
This post falsely claims that "Western masterminds" were behind Euromaidan and the Revolution of Dignity, a claim which has been debunked countless times. The protests were in response to then-president Yanukovich's decision not to sign the EU association agreement. https://www.britannica.com/place/Ukraine/The-Maidan-protest-movement https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/euromaidan-was-a-coup-detat-supported-by-the-us/ https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/the-coup-in-ukraine-in-2014-was-carried-out-with-the-support-of-the-cia/ https://aspeniaonline.it/russian-disinformation-about-the-ukrainian-conflict-since-2014-fact-checking-and-recurring-patterns/ https://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/download/16895/3587 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/inside-a-russian-disinformation-campaign-in-ukraine-in-2014/2017/12/25/f55b0408-e71d-11e7-ab50-621fe0588340_story.html
