️🇺🇸🇺🇦James Carden, former adviser on relations at the U.S. State Department: The events of the undemocratic coup d’état during Maidan sparked a civil war in that country. And in April of the same year, the new government in Kiev, with the active support of the United States, launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation. In fact, they launched an anti-terrorist operation against Russian-speaking and ethnic Russians. This history is completely ignored and blotted out in the US. I traveled to Donbass and was in Donetsk in 2015. There were bombed out schools and hospitals, old women and children living in Soviet era bunkers. It was not a good thing. It showed to some extent what was really going on. And we had nothing to be proud of because we were helping to finance the Ukrainian government and its war against its own Russian-speaking citizens. The characterization of successive Kiev governments is ethno-nationalist. They are direct and proud heirs of the Nazis. People don’t like to hear that. You’re not allowed to say that in Washington.
