> In 2014, the US overthrew a democratically elected Ukrainian government by financing neo-Nazi militias and their political allies

This is how the American far-right and far-left sees it. But how do the Ukrainians themselves see this?


Killing half a million Ukrainians so that a country whose population is a third Russian doesn't vote for the Russian-friendly candidate over some Western-backed candidate who wants to exterminate and expel Russians,

Nowhere near a half a million have been killed.

The country identified as 17 percent Russian in the last census.

No one one from the Ukrainian side was going to, or is ever going to expel or exterminate anyone.

No one from Ukraine I talk to (including people very close to events at the time) gives any credence to the "coup" theory.

You obviously have no understanding of the Language Law, or what it actually does. And anyway it was passed in 2019 and so had nothing to do with events of 2014.

People in the West talk about the Ukraine situation all the time, from every angle, include quite obviously very pro-Russian angles. Not just online, but right there on major channels like Fox and CNN. There are no "allowed" or "disallowed" viewpoints, or any other repercussions or constraints.

Everything you're saying above is sheer lunacy, basically.
