This really is all about money. Thieves like Putin and Yanukovych simply can’t have a modern Ukraine while they collect the fruit of Motherland and deposit it in their personal bank accounts.
Consider the source. Y’s administration may have been corrupt, but the new one installed by a coup is hardly any better. The claim is propaganda for consumption in the West. The real struggle is just between two gangs of crooks, one that was elected and supported by Russia and the other supported by the fascist EU and Obama administration. People might as well get spun up over which gang controls Liberia. There are no “White Hats”.
