Basically, the Maidan regime, run by incompetents and lunatics, have done everything they could to destroy Ukrainian statehood.
The secession of Donetsk and Lugansk is evidence of their epic failure. In all fairness, it must be said Yanukovych never did anything so stupid as President. He tried to steer a middle course.
But Western Ukies hated his guts, successfully overthrew him and the rest as they say - is now history.
The traitor Yanukovich did everything he could to destroy Ukrainian statehood and leave his own coutry defenseless to Russia’s premeditated aggression. Then he ran away to Russia to hide behind his master KGB Putin.
