Everyone knows, or should know, that the 'Western' sponsored Maiden Revolution (coup d'état) KILLED Ukraine, and more than 240,000 of its own citizens since 18 Feb, 2014.
If you are undecided or uneducated to the events leading up to the West's coup d'état, you may download & watch "UKRAINE ON FIRE" 2016 Oliver Stone documentary.
(you will see US Democrat & Republican Congressmen, US Advisors, and NGO's inside Ukraine before, during, and after the coup d'état)
If you continue to unwind history, you will discover that Ukraine of today is inextricably linked to the Bush/Gorbachev Agreements of 1989-90 and the subsequent Western Violations thereof (e.g., The continued expansion of US & NATO forces in Europe).
