In the days of Ukrainian events in 2014, the United States asked Russia to influence the then president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych so that he would not use the army against the opposition, and a day later there was a coup, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
“At the same time, American partners asked us to do everything, so that Yanukovych will not use the army, so that the opposition liberated the squares, administrative buildings and passed to the implementation of the agreements reached to normalize the situation. We said: “Good.” A coup d’état took place a day later,” Putin said in Vladimir Soloviev’s film” The World Order-2018 “.
According to the President of the Russian Federation, the United States in fact carried out this coup with their own hands, and therefore by forcing themselves to support the current Kyiv authorities, “they drove themselves into a corner.”
