Original Note:
There was no "CIA-backed Maidan coup in February 2014" in Ukraine. Yanukovych provoked protests through his own actions by refusing to sign an EU association agreement he had long promised. When he failed to stop protests by violently cracking down, he fled to Russia. https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/coup-in-ukraine-in-2014 https://www.polygraph.info/a/ukrainian-maidan-was-not-a-coup/6741774.html
