It was Viktor Yanukovych who negotiated that deal with the EU in the interest of his nation. It was Putin who said no. It was the Ukrainians, sick and tired of a bully in Moscow telling them what to do, who said that if Viktor Yanukovych was Putin’s puppet he must go. So you can blame the EU, but that’s not how it went down. And all of Ukraine’s neighbors have benefited materially and financially from the EU.
o, it was the WESTERN Ukrainians who wanted Viktor Yanukovych out.
You are making the wrong assumption they all Ukrainians wanted him out, when this is just a political party that is geographically based in the western part of the country throwing a temper tantrum.
Think of it this way:
Imagine if Romney had won the election in 2012 and then proceeded to do something the leftists hated, like repeal Obamacare by executive action. Then the left started rioting and burning down Washington, forcing Romney to flee to Utah to somewhere in the south where his political power base is. Then the Democratic control Senate votes by a simple majority to remove him from office and make Nancy Pelosi the new president.
The South and Midwest say.. TO HECK WITH THAT! and ask for help to succeed from another world power like ... England or some other country. Would you then accuse England of supporting the puppet Romney? Would you accuse those who supported England of siding with the enemy who in the past burnt down Washington DC and fought tooth and nail to deny of our country to begin with?
