RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on Ukraine's government as illegitimate power. euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=ukraine&disinfo_issue=&date=, The spontaneous onset of the Euromaidan protests was a reaction of large parts of the Ukrainian population to former President Yanukovych’s sudden departure from the Association Agreement with the European Union in November 2013.
