Nuland has supported and facilitated Obama-era policies aimed at confronting, containing, and deterring Moscow across multiple policy fronts. Summer 2020 op-ed for Foreign Affairs, Nuland offered a series of policy prescriptions for the next president on how to deal with Russia: ...a united 'global front' to check and deter Russian military aggression, a more robust toolkit to crack down on Russian disinformation, further sanctions, and public diplomacy efforts 'aimed directly at the Russian people'.
Nuland played a central role in executing the Obama administration’s Ukraine policies during and after the 2014 Euromaidan revolution. She conveyed U.S. support 'for demonstrations in Kiev' against the government of President Viktor Yanukovyvch, 'condemning efforts' by local police to quell the protests.
Nuland, with then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, was 'intimately involved 'in ongoing U.S. efforts 'to curate and install a new government in Ukraine.'..... “I think Yats is the guy who’s got the economic experience, the governing experience,” said Nuland in a leaked phone conversation with Pyatt, referring to the installation of Ukrainian politician Arseniy Yatsenyuk to a top government post. Nuland likewise voiced her strong dispreference for opposition leader Vitali Klitschko: “I don’t think Klitsch [Klitschko] should go into the government. I don’t think it’s necessary, I don’t think it’s a good idea".
Nuland continued to play an active role in shaping U.S. policy toward a post-Maidan Ukraine, meeting with Pres. Poroshenko on several occasions to discuss the implementation of the Minsk protocols and Ukraine’s progress on domestic reforms.
Vice President Biden, who was referenced in the call between Nuland and Pyatt, likewise played an active role in supporting the Maidan demonstrations. He subsequently developed a personal relationship with Poroshenko, allegedly offering the Ukrainian president specific policy guidance during a leaked 2016 phone conversation.

What we’re seeing today is an extension of the Obama/Nuland/Biden ‘Maidan Demonstrations and Coup of 2014.....With Zelensky as their Frontman....and Hillary’s team as well working behind the scenes.
Completely avoidable.
Completely predictable.
Completely unnecessary.
This is one more *accomplishment* this administration can put on their resume.
Hi Maggief - Can we name this tune in one note or what!
HArdly anybody knows who Nuland and her husband are but if they want to know the truth they need to read this full article and do some digging like we did during Maidan.
The article was sent to me after a conversation with another party who keeps close tabs on Russia and Ukraine. They share an understanding of what and how and why Ukraine is where it is today. And also Why Putin took these measures he has.
"Number of countries where relations have improved under Brandon"
Thankfully thr west is supporting Zalensky.
Not about Zelensky it’s about Victoria Nuland.
None have improved because Vistoria Nuland is going around strong arming countries leaders....this woman nobod wants to see coming...she is never thearing anything good for the world but has her own personal agenda.

Is that accurate, I thought she was American born.
Perhaps it’s her parents Let me check to be sure.
OK... her parents are Ukrainian Immigrants so she’s certainly got some roots there.
She was born in New York
If anyone thinks Putin was less active in Ukraine, in trying to manipulate Ukraine politics in his favor, they are living on conspiracy theories.
Got it...the fact she’s just one generation removed from Ukraine is something I didn’t know before.
Having someone with such a clear anti-Russian bias directing US policy in Eastern Europe is a huge mistake, but my guess is that’s exactly why she got the job.
IN 2019.....
IN 2019, 2020, 2021....
NATO began massive anti-Russian Sea Breeze military exercises The largest ever NATO operation in the Black Sea.... 32 countries, 5,000 troops, 32 ships, 40 aircraft and 18 special operations. Putin warned NATO against crossing a “red line” in Ukraine constatnly
IN 2021....
Of course Putin was - just as the US does in our neighboring countries and many others.... All western nations do this. The difference is we were shipping amrmament, having huge military drills on Ukraines land and the black sea.
This entire set up was well oiled and orchestrated - even to the US military plan for helping refugees over the borders - that has gone very smoothly.
Trump on the other hand basically shut Nuland down.
“difference is we were shipping amrmament, having huge military drills on Ukraines land and the black sea”
mostly after Putin took crimea by force.
One other thing Nuland is most definately a warmonger - because that’s when she’s in the height of her work leveraging countries to act with the US even when they don’t want to. ...Also why Obama said he had to bring nations along “kicking and screaming” on Russian sanctions etc. And did this time around too - because he’s actually in charge in DC....and why all Bidens people are formerly those of Obamas Harem as they’re called.
