→Western-backed Euromaidan regime change: 2014/2015
Ukraine held parliamentary and local elections on March 26, 2006. International observers noted that conduct of the Rada election was in line with international standards for democratic elections, making this the most free and fair in Ukraine's history. Unlike the first rounds of the 2004 presidential election, candidates and parties were able to express themselves freely in a lively press and assembled without hindrance. There was no systemic abuse of administrative resources as there had been under the previous regime. The Party of Regions and the bloc of former Prime Minister Tymoshenko, whose government the President dismissed in September 2005, finished ahead of the pro-presidential Our Ukraine bloc. Other parties passing the 3% threshold to enter parliament were the Socialist Party of Ukraine and the Communist Party of Ukraine. No party held the majority of Rada seats needed to form a government. Following four months of difficult negotiations, a government led by Prime Minister Yanukovych and including representatives from the Party of Regions, Our Ukraine, and the Socialist Party took office on August 4, 2006. This, the first government formed after the extensive constitutional amendments brokered as part of the Orange Revolution, has been the focus the Prime Minister's growing influence, sometimes at the expense of the President. Amid shifting political alliances, the "Anti-Crisis Coalition" formed by the Party of Regions, Socialist and Communist parties has grown into a "Coalition of National Unity," as some members of the pro-presidential "Our Ukraine" bloc have moved into the Prime Minister's camp. Meanwhile, others have joined forces with Bloc [[Yuliya Tymoshenko]].

2010 [[Viktor Yanukovych]] and his pro-Russian "Party of Regions" won the free, fair and [[democracy|democratic]] elections certified by the [[Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe]] (OSCE). In a 2013, an [[Obama administration]]-backed [[color revolution]] was unleashed, in which the Ukrainians nationalists protested against Yanukovych and wanted a pro-[[EU]] and [[NATO]] course by the government.<ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/vladimir-tismaneanu/ukrainian-people-power/</ref> These protests were dubbed "[[EuroMaidan]]".<ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/arnold-ahlert/putin-vs-pro-west-ukrainians/</ref> The key figures of the opposition were [[Victoria Nuland]], [[Yulia Tymoshenko]], [[Vitali Klitschko]] and neo-Nazi [[Oleh Tyahnybok]]. As a result, prime minister Mykola Azarov resigned<ref>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25932352</ref> and Yanukovich was discontinued on February 22, 2014 by the parliament.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/02/22/ukrainian-protesters-claim-control-over-capital/</ref>

On June 23, 2011 two emissaries of the Obama administration — the head of [[Google]], [[Eric Schmidt]], and his aide, and former subordinate to Hillary Clinton in the U.S. State Department, [[Jared Cohen]] — visited [[Julian Assange]] at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, pretending to be on his side, while deceiving him to reveal to them ways to reach out online to members of Ukraine’s pro-nazi organizations in order to generate mobs for the demonstrations which were to be organized on Kiev’s Maidan Square to overthrow Ukraine’s President.<ref>https://www.transcend.org/tms/2018/06/how-and-why-the-us-government-perpetrated-the-2014-coup-in-ukraine/</ref>
In the same month the [[Obama administration]] quietly put out for bid to American contractors their planned project to renovate a school in [[Sevastopol]], in [[Crimea]], in Ukraine, in the location where Russia since 1783 had (and still has) its largest naval base:
::''Federal Contract Opportunity for Renovation of Sevastopol School #5, Ukraine N33191-13-R-1240. The NAICS Category is 236220 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. Posted Aug 20, 2013. Posted by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (DOD - Navy). The work will be performed at Sevastopol 99000.''
:This was before the Maidan coup, and there were 28 years still remaining on Russia’s lease there. That part of their plan — to terminate that contract and replace Russia’s largest naval base, by yet another U.S. naval base — got foiled by Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin, protecting Crimeans when they (as soon as the coup occurred) demanded to have a referendum on becoming restored again to being a part of Russia, as they had been between 1783 and 1954 (when the Soviet dictator arbitrarily transferred Crimea, from the Russian part, to the Ukrainian part, of the Soviet Government).<ref>https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL2011/S00116/how-the-western-press-lied-about-the-2014-coup-in-ukraine-pretending-that-it-was-instead-a-real-democratic-revolution.htm</ref>
