DISINFO: Americans bought Ukraine for some cookies, just like Manhattan from the Indians for some trinkets
SUMMARY
All that was done by the current Ukrainian authorities is an anti-Russian project. It was meticulously prepared by the Western secret services. The history of implementing anti-Russian projects goes back 20 years.
Already 6 years go it was obvious who controlled Euromaidan protests. US vice president Joe Biden called Ukrainian president and told him to leave his post. US State Department employee Victoria Nuland was handing out cookies in the Maidan square. It was a good deal – the whole country for some pastries. Like in the past, when Manhattan was bought from the Indians for little trinkets.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine in 2014.
The demonstrations that began in Kyiv in November 2013, called "Maidan" or "Euromaidan", emerged organically as a result of the Ukrainian people's frustration with former President Yanukovych's last-minute U-turn on the highly anticipated EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, which had been under negotiation for seven years. The protests were followed by Presidential and parliamentary elections.
The claim that the US was behind the Euromaidan protests is also a recurring disinformation narrative. See previous disinformation cases alleging that the US has recognised Euromaidan as a coup controlled by US officials; and that Maidan was conceived by Washington to deploy its military in Crimea; and that US sponsored Maidan in 2014.
