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>

November 30, 2013, protesters were ordered to leave Maidan Square.<ref>''Maidan Nezalezhnosti''</ref> In response, radicals began to throw glass, stones, pipes, bottles and burning logs at police officers and Berkut special forces. This provoked the security forces to violently disperse the protesters.

In December 2013, in a speech to the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation, Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs Victoria Nuland said: “The United States has supported Ukraine’s European aspirations. … We have invested over $5 billion to assist Ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic Ukraine.”  On December 14 Sen.

People started talking about the [[Pravy Sector]] on December 1, 2013, when the radicals staged battles with the police guarding the Presidential Administration. They seized several buildings and settled on the 5th floor in the Kiev House of Trade Unions. At that time, the group was formally a hundred of the "Maidan Self-Defense".<ref>Avakov later incorporated these neo-Nazi radicals of the Maidan Self Defense team into the Ministry of Interior. https://avakov.com/biography.html</ref> Militants organized rallies outside Maidan Square. They monitored the protesters and carried out their self-protection. But the PS didn't stop there.  They attacked [[law enforcement]] officers, tried to seize the parliament and government buildings, beat the security forces with truncheons, threw cobblestones, smoke bombs, [[Molotov cocktail]]s at them, set fire to buses and trucks. In the battles on the streets, extremists used catapults built like the medieval type. The terrorist frenzy caused shock and dismay even among peaceful advocates of change.

On 1 January, 2014 a torchlight mob celebrated the 105th birthday of Ukrainian nationalist and Nazi collaborator [[Stepan Bandera]] in the streets of Kyiv<ref>{{cite news|url= http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/ukraine-right-revives-wartime-symbols-amid-revolution-1.1642760|title=Ukraine right revives wartime symbols amid 'revolution'|newspaper=[[The Irish Times]]|date=3 January 2014|accessdate=}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25571805|title= Ukraine's far-right Svoboda party hold torch-lit Kiev march|publisher= BBC News|date=1 January 2014|accessdate=}}</ref> Protesters carried the fascist black and red "blood and soil" flag of the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]].

On February 16, 2014 members of parliament passed a bill toughening penalties for participation in mass [[riot]]s. After that, the Headquarters of the National Resistance (the coordination center of Euromaidan) announced a "peaceful offensive" on the parliament building. On February 17, the PS put its metropolitan and regional units on alert.

{{quotebox-float|… “The effort, known as Digital Miadan, gained momentum following the initial Twitter storms. Leading the effort were: Lara Chelak, Andrea Chalupa, Alexandra Chalupa, Constatin Kostenko and others.” The Digital Maidan was also how they raised money for the coup. This was how the Ukrainian emigres bought the bullets that were used on Euromaidan. Ukraine’s chubby nazi, [[Dima Yarosh]] stated openly he was taking money from the Ukrainian emigres during Euromaidan and [[Pravy Sektor]] still fundraises openly in [[North America]]. The “[[Heavenly Hundred|Sniper Massacre]]” on the Maidan in Ukraine by Dr. Ivan Katchanovski, University of Ottowa shows clearly detailed evidence how the massacre happened. It has Pravy Sektor confessions that show who created the “heavenly hundred. Their admitted involvement as leaders of Digital Maidan by both Chalupas is a clear violation of the Neutrality Act and has up to a 25 year prison sentence attached to it because it ended in a coup.}}

In a ''Huff Post'' article September 1, 2016, [[Andrea Chalupa]] described Sviatoslav Yarosh as one of Ukraine’s important “dreamers.” He is a young activist that founded ''Euromaidan Press''. Beyond the gushing glow what she doesn’t say is who he actually is. Sviatoslav Yarosh was [[Dmitri Yarosh]]’s spokesman just after Maidan. He is a hardcore Ukrainian nationalist and was rewarded with the Deputy Director position for the UWC (Ukrainian World Congress) in [[Kiev]]

 

 

Andrea Chalupa has worked with Yarosh’s ''Euromaidan Press'' which is associated with Informnapalm.org and supplies the state level hackers for Ukraine.<ref>[https://washingtonsblog.com/2017/01/crowdstrikes-russian-hacking-story-fell-apart-say-hello-fancy-bear-2.html Why Crowdstrike’s Russian Hacking Story Fell Apart- Say Hello to Fancy Bear.], George Eliason, ''Washingtonsblog,'' January 3, 2017.</ref>

 

On January 28, 2014 Assistant Secretary of State [[Victoria Nuland]] and US ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt discussed details of planned overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine.The two discussed which opposition officials would make up the new regime, agreeing that Arseniy Yatsenyuk should be in charge. Nuland referred to as “Yats”. It was also agreed that someone “high profile” be brought in to "make this thing stick". That someone was Joe Biden.  Nuland made disparaging remarks about the [[EU]], and thought the [[UN]] would give better cover to make the new US-installed regime appear legitimate.  On February 6, an audio recording of the January 28 call between Nuland and Pyatt was leaked.

 

At the time the call leaked, media were quick to pounce on Nuland’s saying “F**k the EU” when Pyatt asked if the EU should be advised.  Member states of the EU, particularly [[France]] and [[Germany]], were deeply involved in negotiating a peaceful resolution to the civil strife.  But the United States acted alone without consultation of its allies, presenting them with a ''fait accompli''.  The comment dominated the headlines (Daily Beast,  2/6/14; BuzzFeed, 2/6/14; Atlantic, 2/6/14; Guardian, 2/6/14), while the evidence of US regime change efforts was downplayed. With the headline “Russia Claims US Is Meddling Over Ukraine,” the ''New York Times'' (2/6/14) put the facts of US involvement in the mouth of an official enemy, blunting their impact on the audience. ''The Times'' (2/6/14) later described the two officials as benignly “talking about the political crisis in Kiev” and sharing “their views of how it might be resolved.”

''[[The Washington Post]]'' (2/6/14) acknowledged that the call showed “a deep degree of US involvement in affairs that Washington officially says are Ukraine’s to resolve,” but that fact rarely factored into future coverage of the US/Ukraine/Russia relationship.<ref>https://fair.org/home/what-you-should-really-know-about-ukraine/</ref>

The participants of the picket led by people's deputies Oleg Lyashko, [[Andriy Parubiy]], Oleh Tyahnybok, Andriy Illienko planned to demand an urgent decision on the settlement of the conflict in the country. On the morning of February 18, several thousand activists headed from the Maidan to the parliament building, the Verkhovna Rada.  But 100 meters from the parliament building, the path was blocked by trucks placed there by the police. In an effort to break through to the Verkhovna Rada, extremists of the Pravy Sector and "[[Maidan Self-Defense]]" began to throw stones and Molotov cocktails at the security forces. Cars caught fire. Police used [[tear gas]] and stun grenades to suppress the rioters. The peaceful action for stabilization in the country turned into massive bloody clashes.

On February 6, 2014 Nuland met with neo-Nazi leader [[Oleh Tyahnybok]] and other ringleaders who assumed power after the ''coup''.<ref>http://in.reuters.com/article/ukraine-call-idINDEEA1704520140208</ref> Tyahnybok leads the [[Svoboda]] party. In 2004 Tyahnybok was kicked out of the ruling parliamentary faction after giving a speech calling for a fight against the "Muscovite-Jewish mafia." In 2005 Tyahnybok signed an open letter to Ukrainian leaders calling for the government to halt the "criminal activities" of "organized Jewry", which was spreading its influence through organizations such as the [[Anti-Defamation League]] which ultimately wanted to commit "[[genocide]]" against the Ukrainian people.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20824693</ref>  DCLeaks published Soros emails arranging a meeting between [[George Soros]] and Tyahnbok. Soros, an 84 year old self-admitted collaborator with the Nazi deportations of [[Jew]]s from [[Budapest]] to [[Auschwitz]] organized by [[Adolf Eichmann]],<ref>https://youtu.be/aSeI1f3uERI</ref> parlayed his looted property of [[Holocaust]] victims' into a $25 billion personal fortune after [[World War II]].

Western propaganda media blamed Yanukovych for the killings rather than the coup plotters, and Yanukovych's parliamentary support crumbled.  

Key neoconservatives, such as Victoria Nuland and Sen. John McCain, began pushing for the [[violent]] coup that in February 2014 ousted Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych and touched off the [[new Cold War]] with Russia.  Senior U.S. government officials reportedly told the leaders of the [[Svoboda party]] that the deaths of a few protestors would not be enough to change Western support, but the Yanukovych government would only change if the number of victims was greater than one hundred.<ref>https://rumble.com/vxdun0-the-maidan-sniper-massacre-revealing-ukraine.html</ref>  As in [[Syria]] and other "[[Arab Spring]]" uprisings, ''[[agent provocateurs]]'' began shooting and killing people on both sides to provoke a civil insurrection.  Almost 100 Soros-backed activists and 17 police officers were killed.<ref>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26079957</ref> George Friedman, chairman of ''Stratfor'', called it "the most blatant ''coup'' in history."<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2014/12/22/the-liberal-idiocy-on-russiaukraine/</ref><ref>https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2636177</ref>

On February 20, 2014, eight busloads of people from Crimea, who had come into Ukraine's capital Kyiv and were holding signs demonstrating in opposition to the "Maidan" movement, were violently attacked by Pravy Sektor people who were leading the Maidan movement; the terrified Crimeans  scrambled back into their buses, which promptly sped southward, home toward Crimea.  The Ukraine Human Rights organization posted to the internet a 25-minute video to the internet with English subtitles entitled ''The Pogrom of Korsun''.<ref>https://youtu.be/loKajkXoTBU</ref> A gang of Right Sector members caught up with them near the town of Korsun.  Private cellphone videos were shown in the compilation.  One video showed the view from the rear seat of a car as it was approaching a blockade, and some of the buses were aflame. A few car-drivers were standing watching at a distance, while the Right Sector people beat and killed Crimeans alongside their buses.<ref>https://archive.ph/pgUkP#selection-719.0-719.16</ref>

After that, the Headquarters of the National Resistance (the coordination center of Euromaidan) announced a "peaceful offensive" on the parliament building. On February 17, the Pravy Sektor put its metropolitan and regional units on alert.

On February 21, 2014, President Viktor Yanukovych signed an agreement with the leaders of the parliamentary opposition that he would not seek re-election the following February since his removal was the protesters primary demand. German Foreign Minister [[Frank-Walter Steinmeier]], Polish Foreign Minister [[Radosław Sikorski]], a head of department of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Russian observer Vladimir Lukin were witnesses. It was hoped the agreement with opposition leaders would bring ton an end the crisis situation in Ukraine.<ref>[https://www.salon.com/2014/02/25/is_the_us_backing_neo_nazis_in_ukraine_partner/ Is the US backing neo-Nazis in Ukraine?], By MAX BLUMENTHAL, FEBRUARY 25, 2014.</ref>

On February 20, 2014 snipers firing from a building controlled by the Pravy Sektor shot and killed 25 people, both police and protesters.  More than 350 citizens were injured, more than 250 were hospitalized. Riots in the center of Kiev continued in the following days. In connection with the tragic events, February 20 was declared a day of mourning. However, on this day, the clashes intensified. Dozens of people were killed by Pravy Sektor snipers atop the Music Conservatory and Hotel Ukraina buildings.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKMoq61IN02VsItd-uIZKtJKrPxA4z1Q8 Maidan Massacre in Ukraine], Ivan Katchanovski. YouTube.</ref> According to official data of the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, from February 18 to February 21 2014, 77 people were killed.  The organized mass killing of both protesters and the police had the goal of delegitimizing the Yanukovych government.  Western media blamed Yanukovych and the Berkut police.  The mass murder in fact was carried out by the Pravy Sektor, the group Nuland and John McCain were promoting to take over the new regime. 

In the evening of the same day, on Maidan Sqaure, the radicals rejected the agreement. Threatening an armed offensive, the extremists demanded that Viktor Yanukovych leave the presidency before 10 a.m. on the morning of the 22nd.  The leader of the [[neo-fascist]] Pravy Sektor, [[Dmitri Yarosh]] claimed that his militants would continue the violent uprising until Yanukovych resigned.

A female Maidan medic during the massacre was pointing to the top of a building and shouting about snipers. But her words were translated in a [[BBC]] report as referring to six protesters killed by the snipers in that area. A Maidan protester and another Maidan medic, who were wounded near the same spot where two protesters were killed, both testified at the Maidan massacre trial that they were shot from this building. Government ballistic experts confirmed this during on-site investigative experiments.

Soon the security forces were withdrawn from the government quarter. This was taken advantage of by [[revolution]]ary militants, deciding not to wait for the expiration of their announced deadline. Neo-nazi [[activist]]s and participants of the "Maidan Self-Defense" stormed the Presidential Administration, Parliament, the Cabinet of Ministers, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On the evening of February 21, 2022 Yanukovych, together with the heads of the Verkhovna Rada and the presidential administration – Volodymyr Rybak and Andriy Kliuyev – fled Kiev to [[Crimea]] for their own personal safety. Throughout Ukraine, massacres unfolded between supporters and opponents of the U.S.-appointed [[Maidan junta]].

These revelations were not reported by any Western media. This includes ''The New York Time'', which on April 5, 2014, profiled this wounded protester against the backdrop of an unquestioned report by the acting Kiev regime that blaming “former President Viktor F. Yanukovych, his riot police and their suspected Russian assistants for the violence that killed more than 100 people in Kiev in February.”  It also includes [[CNN]], which filmed the shooting of this medic and attributed it to the government forces.

On February 28, 2014 ''BBC Newsnight'' reported on the Neo-Nazi threat in new Ukraine.<ref>https://youtu.be/5SBo0akeDMY</ref>

The Maidan regime investigation simply denies that there were any snipers there and in other Maidan-controlled buildings, and refuses to investigate them. This is done despite videos of such snipers and testimonies of the absolute majority of wounded protesters at the trial and investigation and more than 150 other witnesses about snipers in these locations.

On July 31, 2014 Ukrainian Nazi journalist Bogdan Boutkevitch<ref>https://beyondhighbrow.com/2014/08/03/us-supported-ukrainian-nazi-calls-for-killing-1-5-novorussians/</ref> appeared on [[Hromadske TV]] discussing [[genocide]] in Donbas. Boutkevitch says Donetsk:

The official investigation in Ukraine simply denies that there were any such snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings, even though the Prosecutor General Office of Ukraine previously stated that snipers massacred many protesters from the Hotel Ukraina and other buildings.

Testimonies by five Georgian ex-military members in Italian, Israeli, Macedonian and Russian media and their published depositions to defense lawyers of police from the former regime in the Maidan massacre trial have also been ignored. They stated that their groups received weapons, payments, and orders to massacre both police and protesters from specific Maidan and Georgian politicians. They also said that they received instructions from an ex-U.S. Army sniper and then saw Georgian, Baltic States, and Praqvy Sektor-linked snipers shooting from specific Maidan-controlled buildings.

In response, the United States and Europe imposed the [[Magnitsky Act]] sanctions sponsored by Sen. John McCain against Russian trade.  

Western media silence also ignored a statement by Anatolii Hrytsenko, who was a Maidan politician and minister of defense, that the investigation of the massacre was stonewalled because of the involvement of someone from the current leadership of Ukraine in the mass killing.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20171019101358/http://world.time.com/2014/02/21/ukraine-parliament-yanukovych-kiev-deal/</ref>

As a result of the reincorporation of Crimea, the [[Donetsk People's Republic]] and the [[Lugansk People's Republic]] declared their independence and created a confederation called "[[Novorossiya|Federal State of Novorossiya]]".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20140607011548/http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_05_24/Donetsk-Lugansk-Peoples-Republics-unite-in-Novorossiya-1012/</ref> Novorossiya was dissolved in May 2015 but the separate Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics however still exist. In June 2014 [[Petro Poroshenko]] was elected as new president of the Western-installed Kyiv regime<ref>http://news.yahoo.com/poroshenko-sworn-ukraines-president-073208251.html</ref> and [[Arseniy Yatsenyuk]] became prime minister. Since then the U.S.-backed Ukrainian regime backed neo-Nazi paramilitary terror attacks against the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics. When President Donald Trump attempted to hold back military aid to the fascist Kyiv regime, U.S. [[Democratic party|Democrats]] impeached him.

The official investigation by the coup regime was fabricated and stonewalled.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKMoq61IN02VsItd-uIZKtJKrPxA4z1Q8</ref> The forensic investigations which were made public at the Maidan massacre trial revealed that on February 20, 2014 the absolute majority of the protesters were shot from side and back directions and from top to bottom directions, while videos and photos of the massacre showed them facing the Berkut special police force on the same ground level. In January 2015, a forensic ballistic examination conducted upon the request of prosecution concluded that bullets extracted from killed protesters did not match the bullet samples from any Kalashnikov assault rifle which members of the Berkut special police force were then armed. The findings of this computer-based ballistic examination and results of the other 40 ballistic examinations were reversed in a couple of ballistic examinations conducted manually in the very end of the investigation. Such unexplained reversals which contradicted other evidence, such as testimonies of wounded protesters and results of forensic medical examinations, suggested that the findings of the new examinations of bullets were unreliable and likely falsified. The forensic ballistic examinations also found that many protesters were killed on February 18–20 by hunting pellets and expanding hunting bullets, in particular, with caliber that did not match calibers of weapons used by the special police company, whose members were charged with killings these protesters.<ref> Katchanovski</ref>
