2014 is the exact date of US coup and change of Ukrainian alignment.
You mean the civilian revolution of almost 1M citizens that restored their constitution and took power away from Putin's sockpuppet, who then tried to claw back Crimea in retaliation? It wasn't neutral before 2014, and Russia won't allow it.
Nah, obviously the US, which has shown by electing Trump twice that it has its shit together, concocted the devious plot and paid off everyone involved just to attack Putin, the benevolent ruler of Russia.
None of the CIA/NGO Maidan movement recruits got anywhere close to a government job. "Restored constitution"???? They went full on ethnostate apartheid. "Putin sockpuppet" is the one that tried to get an EU trade deal. Scuttled by IMF.
What exactly do you think life was like in Ukraine for most people under Yanukovych?
Because I can tell you. He literally had people crucified.

GDP was far higher. The country wasn't in ruins, and still had access to the east's industrialization/steel. It's population was up to 20m higher. It had democracy, and was free of nazi coercion.
Weird how you totally glossed over the "he literally had people crucified" thing as if it wasn't the comment you responded with.
Or are you a fan of crucifying the political opposition?
Got any... Evidence?
