Right, the coup of 2014 ousted democratically elected president and part of a country disagreed. As far as russian vs ukranian... It's basically one nation. Many russians have ukranian blood in them, many ukranians have russian blood in them. There are million's of ukranians working in russia today. The divide was engineered from outside and it was well engineered. Divide and concur is an old strategy and the west is very-very good at it.

Russian and Ukranians are too gullible. Less so now, but in 2014 they were like children.

And Ukranians at Maidan were treated like children by Nuland who brought them cookies, quite fittingly.
