Euromaidan: Color Revolution that brought Ukraine to ruin Tuesday is the 10th anniversary of the start of the Euromaidan (lit. “Euro Square”) protests in Kiev. Three months after the unrest began, in February 2014, the crisis culminated in the ouster of Ukraine’s democratically elected government, and its replacement with a fanatically pro-European, pro-NATO regime. What did the protesters want? And what did ordinary Ukrainians get? ‘Ukraine is Europe’ ▪️ Wanted: Association Agreement with the European Union and speedy integration into the bloc, meaning economic aid, access to EU markets, and visa free travel with Schengen Zone countries. ▪️ Got: Uprisings in Crimea and the Donbass culminating in their breaking off from Ukraine, restricted access to EU markets and “anti-dumping” measures among bloc members bordering Ukraine, widespread depopulation (from 45.5 million in 2013 to as few as 19 million now), and vague promises on possible EU membership “decades” from now, to quote French President Emmanuel Macron.
