coups, nazis, us-meddling...

> The Yanukovych treason trial revealed various witness testimonies and other evidence that he fled from Kyiv and then Ukraine not because of his responsibility for the Maidan massacre but because of a number of assassination attempts by the Maidan forces, in particular the far right, and after their attempts to capture him and his residence near Kyiv and likely execute him (Katchanovski, 2020, 2023a). Witnesses testified at the Yanukovych treason trial that right after the Maidan massacre the presidential motorcade was shot at a checkpoint, which was manned by activists with Right Sector and Svoboda flags and that the bullets hit one of the cars and a gun of one of the Yanukovych bodyguards. Helicopter pilots, who flew Yanukovych in Ukraine after the massacre, testified that the air traffic controllers relayed them an order from Maidan leaders to land the helicopter with Yanukovych under threat of its being shot-down by military planes. The witness testimonies also referred to information received by his security personnel about a plan involving Svoboda activists to assassinate him during a congress in Kharkiv where he flew after the Maidan massacre, and then on the road near Melitopol (See Eks-okhoronets’, 2018; Katchanovski, 2020, 2023a).

Lmaooo, who the fuck is this guy, I want to smoke what he smokes.

Was so afraid for his life that you can see more than 10 packed bags, family and multiple pets in the open.

That’s all you need to know about credibility of his opus. It bears as much resemblance to reality as Tom Clancy’s novels.

don't know man - somehow he doesn't waste time on dead hn posts in order to convince other people of nafo trash. instead he's doing research, publishes peer reviewed articles and writes books about whats happening in his home country. perhaps you and libertine should do the same instead of posting bbc clips and wikipedia articles.

if you're so inclined, you can just hop his citations. yes, sometimes he cites his own papers but you can follow the path until you'll find the original source. his sources are for the most part stenographs, reputable news articles, witness interviews and for the maidan massacre he analyzed all the footage from news reels and cctvs he and his colleagues could find.

and by the way: he's Ukrainian, lives in a nato country (Canada) and works at a legit university. was it you or libertine who asked me why I think what I think, 'despite' living in Germany - here's another specimen for you.

reality hits hard, boys.

edit: it was mopsi whos mind was blown. fitting name for a shiba inu;)
