re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

He was voted removed and refused to go. That would be like if Nixon had chosen not to resign and instead suffered the removal vote in the senate and then refused to leave office after a 2/3 vote. It wasn't a coups. He wasn't president anymore.

Fun fact about the Polish Mig bullshite at the start of the war, they actually learned that one from us. When a large part of society still was no war at any cost at the beginning of WW2, FDR wanted to help Britain but he knew the public would not take it well so he couldn’t be caught supplying them with munitions. The RAF needed aircraft so FDR bought a guy’s farm and put a runway in the grass to bring the fighters to the Canadian border and then the RCAF came across the border and pulled the aircraft across the border. Basically exactly what Poland did except they went a step further and dismantled their wings to get them in the forest.

It is being reported that SecDef Austin told Congress that if they don't approve funding for Ukraine, he will send US Troops.

The Biden administration is openly threatening Americans over Ukraine. In a classified briefing in the House yesterday, defense secretary Lloyd Austin informed members that if they don’t appropriate more money for Zelensky, “we’ll send your uncles, cousins and sons to fight Russia.” Pay the oligarchs or we’ll kill your kids.

I hope this is out of context. I do not support sending US combat troops to Ukraine.

Yanukovych argued in favour of economic modernisation, increased spending and, initially, continuing trade negotiations with the European Union (EU). He pledged to remain non-aligned in defence policy. However, his years in power saw what analysts described as democratic backsliding,[7] which included the jailing of Tymoshenko, a decline in press freedom[8] and an increase in cronyism and corruption.[9] In November 2013, Yanukovych made a sudden decision, amidst economic pressure from Russia,[10] to withdraw from signing an association agreement with the EU and instead accept a Russian trade deal and loan bailout. This sparked mass protests against him that ultimately led to his ousting as President.[11][12][13] The civil unrest peaked in February 2014, when almost 100 protesters were killed by police.[14] Yanukovych then signed an agreement with the opposition, but secretly fled the capital later that day. The next day, 22 February, Ukraine's parliament voted to remove him from his position and schedule early elections on the grounds that he had withdrawn from his constitutional duties,[15][16] rather than through following the impeachment process outlined in the Ukrainian constitution. Some of his own party voted for his removal.[17][18][19][20]

On 24 February 2014, the new government issued a warrant for Yanukovych's arrest, accusing him of being responsible for the killing of protestors.[21] Yanukovych went into exile in Russia, claiming to still be the legitimate head of state.[22] On 18 June 2015, Yanukovych was officially deprived of the title of president by parliament.[23] On 24 January 2019, he was sentenced in absentia to a thirteen year prison term for high treason by a Ukrainian court.[24] In various polling conducted since his departure from office, Yanukovych was ranked the least popular president in Ukraine's independent history.[25][26][27][28][29] Yanukovych has also given his name to a collective term for blunders made by Ukrainian politicians: Yanukisms

And this is about the signed agreement

The Agreement on the Settlement of the Political Crisis in Ukraine was a set of documents signed on 21 February 2014 by the then-President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, and the leaders of Ukraine's parliamentary opposition via the mediation of the European Union and Russia.

The purpose of the Agreement was to reduce bloodshed at Euromaidan demonstrations in Kyiv, which became significantly more violent during the Revolution of Dignity, resulting in the deaths of over 100 people. It also aimed to end the political crisis caused by Euromaidan, which began in November 2013 in response to Ukrainian authorities' decision to suspend the process of signing an association agreement with the European Union.

An agreement to resolve the political crisis was signed by the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych and opposition leaders Vitali Klitschko (Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform), Arseniy Yatsenyuk (All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland") and Oleh Tyahnybok (Svoboda), and formally witnessed by the Foreign Ministers of Germany and Poland, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Radoslaw Sikorski, and the head of the Department for Continental Europe of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Eric Fournier. Vladimir Lukin, the Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation who participated in the discussions, declined to sign the agreement.[1]

The agreement called for a return to the 2004 Constitution, i.e., a parliamentary-presidential style of government, early presidential elections by the end of 2014, and a "government of national trust". It also called for the removal of security troops from downtown Kyiv, a cease of violence, and the surrender of opposition arms.[2]

Although nearly all sides, except Russia, signed the agreement, it was not implemented. Protests continued after its signing, and Yanukovych eventually fled to Russia. With the Euromaidan emerging victorious, an arrest warrant was issued for Yanukovych, who effectively became a fugitive

Frankly I care more about Venezuela and Guyana. If we choose to involve ourselves in regional conflicts, it should be on a continent that shares a land mass.

Anyone that defends Russia or Putin in even the smallest way should watch this video and then try to explain to me again why this war was anything but his dreams of being known as the modern Peter the Great. It really shows you what war truly is.

Per my sauce(s) in Ukraine they were saying a spring offensive to distract Russia but were really planning a late summer offensive. They were hoping to lure the Russians into false sense of security after a spring or early summer offensive didn’t happen. Unfortunately the Biden administration forced Ukraine to launch the counteroffensive when a small weak spot was found.That is info I hadn't yet heard. Interesting and sad if true. Has any of this been released publically in a news source?

Nope it came from my buddy’s brother who works for Ukrainian intelligence. They want it leaked to the internet so the news makes its way to right ears indirectly. That way the western leaders back off and let Ukraine decide what tactics to use with its war. However, they cannot afford to risk losing military support by openly telling the media. Of course my sauce is in Ukrainian intelligence so it could be smoke to cover their arse but he has generally been right about stuff like that.
