At home, this intervention looks to be one of the most unpopular decisions Putin has ever made. The Kremlin’s own pollster released a survey on Monday that showed 73% of Russians reject it. In phrasing its question posed in early February to 1,600 respondents across the country, the state-funded sociologists at WCIOM were clearly trying to get as much support for the intervention as possible: “Should Russia react to the overthrow of the legally elected authorities in Ukraine?” they asked. Only 15% said yes — hardly a national consensus.
That seems astounding in light of all the brainwashing Russians have faced on the issue of Ukraine. For weeks, the Kremlin’s effective monopoly on television news has been sounding the alarm over Ukraine. Its revolution, they claimed, is the result of an American alliance with Nazis intended to weaken Russia.

What a coincidence, new world order's effective monopoly on US television news has been sounding the alarm over Ukraine too.
Its revolution, they claimed, is the result of freedom-loving Ukrainians who developed a desire to join Ukraine with the West.
Let's see what the US State Department has to say about the US government's position:

Wow, she says since 1991 the US government spent $5 billion to help Ukrainins "build democratic skills and institutions, promote civic participation and good governance, all of which are preconditions for Ukraine to achieve its European aspirations".
