A war-battered Ukraine on Tuesday commemorated the 10th anniversary of the so-called Maidan revolution, the popular uprising that toppled a pro-Russia president, showcased the nation’s embrace of European values and foreshadowed the current conflict with Moscow.
Across Ukraine, people laid flowers at monuments honoring those killed during the protests, and officials hailed the uprising that started in 2013 as a milestone on the road to achieving greater democracy and to standing up to Russia.
In a video address released on Tuesday morning, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said: “10 years ago, we began a new chapter in our struggle. 10 years ago, Ukrainians launched their first counteroffensive.” During the Maidan revolution, he added, “the first victory in today’s war took place.”
The uprising, ignited by popular outrage at a decision by Ukraine’s president at the time, Viktor F. Yanukovych, to shelve a trade agreement with Brussels, was a powerful demonstration of the country’s commitment to Europe.

Ukraine is much better off now. /sarc
Is this the U.S. led illegal coupe d’etat “for democracy” that put a globohomo in charge of Ukraine and removed an elected leader which led to the new globohomo bombing his own country where Russia ethnic people lived? Just wondering...
NYT calls the coup d-etat sponsored by NATO a “popular uprising.”
Orwellian.
Yeah. How’s that working out for them.
Was the uprising actually popular, or was it led by the CIA and the NYT here is just gaslighting about its popularity?
This insurrection was supported and funded by the US. US collusion you could say.
It was not a popular uprising.
It was a Color Revolution hatched in London and DC.
overthrowing a democratically elected government is a small price to pay so that the Biden and other political families could get board seats on Burisma.
“It was not a popular uprising.
It was a Color Revolution hatched in London and DC.”
Exactly !
The EU did not want a Color Revolution. (hence the Nuland “F#ck the EU” comment)
Yeah, that is one and the same neocon led uprising that brought them hell and us a bankrupt nation.
another gift from obama, and presumably hillary as sec of state.
Don’t forget good old Victoria Nuland. There has never been a country she made better.
yes, i’m sure a trade agreement caused Ukrainians to overthrow their government “for democracy” .... had nothing to do with obama’s deep state communists running amok.
I’ll bet their elections are as corrupt as they are...
What did you people hate before there was Ukraine?
So, they revolted for cookies and pastry treats? Wow, that Russian dominated government/economy musta really sucked
What did you people hate before there was Ukraine?
