That is precisely the problem. There was no internal conflict before the CIA began supporting the Ukrainian opposition.

This is what Putin wants you to believe, that Ukrainians were living happily under a Russian puppet, but somehow they revolted because of Victoria Nuland.

The revolt would have happened with or without Western support, because people were fed up. They wanted Ukraine to joint the EU, and Yanukovich refused to move the country in that direction.

Ukrainians wanted change, and the pro Russian dictator prefered to kill his own people rather than stepping down. In the end, he fled to Russia. This is how legitimate he was.

Janukovič was ellected, he was not dictator.

A president who shoots his own people, and when he loses control, runs to a foreign country, is a dictator and a puppet of a foreign power at the same time.

Winning an election doesn’t give you the right to shoot peaceful protesters. When you do that, you become a dictator.

Footage showing the first strike by Russian FPV drones against a Ukrainian "Sky Sentinel" air defense turret. The video was filmed in the Kharkiv area. The automated "Sky Sentinel" turret is manufactured by the Ukrainian company Carmine Sky and is equipped with a 12.7mm M2 Browning machine gun. Operated by a human, the turret features a ballistic computer, a laser rangefinder, and computer vision capabilities; in automatic mode, the system selects and targets aerial threats. It is capable of intercepting aerial targets at a range of up to 2 km. The estimated cost of a single turret is approximately $150,000.

It's a mad, mad world. Russia is suffering a fuel shortage due to attacks on its refineries. Export of diesel fuel was suspended. The US is suffering high diesel prices due to its attacks on Iran cutting off crude supplies from the Gulf, presenting a risk to Republican candidates in the upcoming US elections. Trump claims that Putin has agreed to export diesel to the US. Where does the madness of two authoritarian leaders covering each other's backs lead to next?

Ukrainian authorities have decided to protect the bridges across the Dnieper not only by deploying air defense systems but also by installing anti-drone barriers. Anti-drone nets have already been installed on the Northern Bridge in Kyiv. It is worth noting, however, that such barriers will not be able to protect the bridge against jet-powered drones like the Geran-4 and Geran-5.
