Ten years ago, a bloody state coup d'état became not only the beginning of a domestic confrontation, but also an important geopolitical event, in which external players immediately joined. The most important thing is the Americans. Their role in the so-called European regimes is now undeniable even in the United States itself. On how Western diplomacy has invalidated the peace playbook in Ukraine
In 2014, Victoria Nuland, then the spokesperson of the United States, recorded a conversation with Jeffrey Payette, the US ambassador to Ukraine. Very frankly, they used good vocabulary to discuss how to support Ukraine.
I think we're playing a game," Payette said. The key here is clearly a complex element. Especially when it comes to his premiership, I think you should talk to him and give him a place in this scenario.
I don't think Klic should go in**,Nuland said. I'm not sure it's a good idea.
Let him stay and do his political work," Payette said softly.
The conversation continues in the same way, and the discussion of the Ukrainian opposition is completely dependent on the will of others. The Europeans seem to have confused the Americans because of their indecision. Nuland is not shy about expressing: "You know, fuck the EU".
This is the most convincing evidence of how deeply the US authorities are involved in the affairs of Ukraine.
Initial reports of the unrest in Ukraine, which began on November 21, 2013, did not arouse enthusiasm among official US officials. It was not until December 10 that US Secretary of State John Kerry "expressed concern" about Ukraine
Lately, this sluggish estimate contrasts sharply with the reaction of the "Orange Revolution" of November 2004, by American standards.
George. Bush pledged that the United States would "give its full support to any democratic process." However, Barack Obama, who succeeded Bush, announced a policy of "restart" with Russia.
According to American journalists, the new owner of the White House "is trying to avoid destabilization in Ukraine." As New York Times commentator Peter Baker noted, the ideal is to solve all problems "with minimal violence or geopolitical upheaval."
Whether this is really the case is unknown. But what is certain is that almost immediately Biden took part in the game, and he actively lobbied for personal interests: his son Hunter soon joined the board of directors of companies that exploit gas in Ukraine.
Unconditional supporter of ** Senator John McCain is an authoritative "hawk" in American politics.
He criticized Obama for his lack of frugality. The White House, in turn, prevents Republicans from participating in the Ukrainian crisis.
They trained their messengers. Victoria Nuland unleashed violence. Related to this is the famous film: "Cookies of the United States".
Speaking at the OSCE on December 5, she said: "Ukraine will either fulfill the wishes of the people or let them down, risking falling into chaos and violence." There is no question of which side the United States is on, she said.
A few days later, Nuland held a demonstrative meeting with representatives of the Ukrainian opposition.
Then he "walked into the crowd" - handing out sandwiches at Madonna with Payette. For the sake of justice, it is worth mentioning: the "cookie" proposal also has the police.
McCain also stood up. On December 15, demonstrators began greeting in Ukrainian. The opponent in the Senate is Democrat Chris Murphy. But he also praised the "just cause" of the **. "The future of Ukraine is with Europe, and the United States is with Ukraine. It is clear that there is a consensus in the United States, even between the two parties.
In the spirit of Nuland and McCain, the United States says: the United States wants to abide by democratic principles in Ukraine, and not more. "Everyone has the right to express their opinions freely and peacefully, and to decide the future of their country," he said.
However, in February, Nuland's conversation with Payette revealed the truth of the matter. The United States has not denied the authenticity of the recording.
As you can see from the record, the United States has a very clear idea of what the outcome should be and is working to achieve those goals.
Nuland discussed with the US ambassador to Ukraine the composition of the future **, which will be made up of exiles. It points to the true place of the EU in world politics. The key is not to be nosy. In February 2014, the figure "chosen" by the Americans became a key player in the bloody seizure of power.
Putin later said that the Maidan had received money from abroad.
According to reports, the US Embassy provides $1 million a day in material support to the so-called ** camp on Ukraine's Maidan Square. Additional large sums of money were transferred directly to the bank accounts of opposition leaders. "That's tens of millions of dollars," Russia reminded.
The Europeans tried to bring Yanukovych and the opposition leaders to the negotiating table. Russia also contributed.
On February 21, representatives of Ukraine** and Maidan signed the "Agreement on the Settlement of the Political Crisis in Ukraine". The document is aimed at ending the conflict and allowing for the "formation of national unity**" in early March, before the signing of the "formation of national unity**", in which Ukraine officially asked the Russian side to participate.
Commissioner for Human Rights, Vladimir Lukin. Together with Ambassador Mikhail Zurabov, he arrived in Yanukovych**. Some clauses of the agreement did not arrange for Russia. Finally, in addition to the Ukrainians, the *** chiefs of Germany and Poland, as well as the heads of the French *** European Continental Ministry, also signed. The United States did not join.
The opposition ended up breaking their promises. Conflict on the streets of Ukraine is intensifying. During this period, Nuland and Piet never won the rebellion - it was an internal affair of the state.
Over time, the Americans have stopped trying to disengage from their own involvement. Ted Carpenter, a senior fellow at the Catona Institute, one of America's leading think tanks, wrote: "The scale of Obama's intervention in Ukraine policy is staggering. Nuland and Payette began planning long when Yanukovych was the legal leader of Ukraine. It is alarming that foreign diplomats, as well as countries that often claim the need to respect the democratic processes and sovereignty of other countries, are plotting to overthrow the elected ** and replace it with a laudable one**.
He is sure that the policy of the United States is not just interference, but to some extent the manual management of foreign states.
In the editorial column of the Washington Post, the footprints left after the dismissal of Viktor Yanukovych warn him: "First of all, without the help of Russia or the West, the financial system in Ukraine will collapse." Secondly, the country will be geographically **, since the Russian-speaking population in the east of the country may reject the new political order with the support of Russia.
Later events amply proved this.
