Vor 12 Jahren fand die Revolution der Würde statt, die dazu führte, dass der russische Marionettenpräsident Janukowitsch aus dem Land floh. Russland würde neun Tage nach diesem Video auf der Krim einmarschieren.

What date was this night?

Man, it’s crazy seeing that spot in this light after experiencing it much more at peace in recent times. Though friends have similar awe in how quickly things can change with so many other spots–Dobropillya, Kramatorsk, etc.

To me, these actions represent the Ukrainian spirit and are a large part of why I love this country. I can’t think of another modern democracy that has fought to exist as one and won twice (2004; 2014) against such odds. It’s inspiring.

This is February 18-19 night. The Russian incursion (concealed as „local self-defense“) began in January. The Russian military operation secretly started on February 20th, 1-2 days after (2 days before Yanukovych left Kyiv). On February 26th they openly captured the Crimean Parliament, and I guess that what you mean by „would invade“, and you’re wrong. The invasion was planned and ordered long before this video. You’re repeating the Russian propaganda claim that these events in Kyiv caused Russia to invade.

Given my age I have a lot of friends who were either there personally or had family/friends who were.

This revolution was essential and probably terrifying and took massive balls, so, naturally Ukrainians were there to get it done.

I’ll never forgive the right-wing western men who cheered them on and have since left them to twist in the wind because Trump/his Daddy have kompromat on them. I wish it was possible for people to die of shame sometimes.
