George Friedman, director of Stratfor, a private U.S. intelligence firm, said the Euromaidan saw "the most blatant coup in history."  Militants of the Pravy Sektor, like other protesters, received funding from the United States. In particular, from the [[National Endowment for Democracy]], the [[CIA]]'s [[regime change]] arm, funded by the [[US Congress]]. NED's report stated: "Grants from the foundation played an important role in the peaceful protests in Kyiv."

The leaders of the radicals, at their request, were guaranteed evacuation from the territory of Ukraine and the provision of housing in the EU. This service was used by Sergey Koba, the leader of Automaidan. On January 19, 2014, he called on [[activist]]s to "peacefully" block the Rada, the Ukrainian parliament. And after 4 days it became known about his escape because of the threat of arrest. After abandoning his associates, Koba returned only on February 22, 2014 after the overthrow of [[President Yanukovych]].

American publicist Steve Weisman said that overseas funds were received by the main [[propaganda]] media of the Euromaidan - the online publication ''Ukrainska Pravda'', the Internet channel "Hromadske Television". The latter was announced in June 2013, but was launched on November 22, 2013, the day after the Maidan protests began. It was funded by the American [[Open Society Foundations]], U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, the Embassy of the Netherlands in Kiev, etc.

Overseas money was also received by the Pravy Sektor. Thanks to this, disparate radicals quickly rallied into a military-political bloc. It is assumed that they were also financed by [[Ihor Kolomoisky]] and [[Petro Poroshenko]]. But both the militants and the two [[oligarch]]s deny this. It was established that, having become the head of the Dnipropetrovsk region in March 2014, Kolomoisky hired the PS for help in the region.
