Takashi Shimura. Looking Back: a timeline of events that lead to the current Ukraine situation.

2010: Viktor Yanukovich is elected president of Ukraine in a fair election, according to the OSCE. Yanukovich strengthens economic ties with Russia and moves away from the EU as the loans from Russia are a much better deal than the loans from the EU (IMF), come with lower interests and no calls for lowering wages and pensions or selling off agricultural land.

2013: On CNN, Republican Senator John McCain openly discusses US backed regime change for Ukraine.

2013: U.S. Obama-Biden, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt discuss the planned coup against President Yanukovich and who will replace him, choosing the unpopular Yatsenyuk who in fact becomes Prime Minister, later leaving office with single digit approval rating. Later, in a leaked phone call Nuland says, "Fuck the EU." In his TV comedy act Volodymyr Zelensky quips, "The Americans are here to help us, so I'm practising my exercises." (Nazi salutes!!)

February 2014: Yanukovich is overthrown by nationalists in a violent coup, leaving nearly 200 dead government officials and civilians. Snipers under right wing Svoboda command shoot innocents from a hotel window.

February 2014: Nationalist groups flood cities harassing ethnic minorities. Ethnic Russians are a minority in Ukraine, but a majority in some regions. Victoria Nuland, John McCain, and other U.S. political meddlers appear in Maidan to exhort the takeover of the government. The Maidan revolution of deceit is falsely U.S. named 'Revolution of Dignity'.

March 1 2014: Crimea's elected leader, Sergey Aksyonov, requests Russian security assistance.

March 16 2014: Crimea votes to join Russia by a 95% majority. The U.S. state radio NPR reports that, "The referendum had widely been expected to pass; Crimea's parliament has already voted to seek annexation by Russia."

March 18 2014: Crimea votes to repatriate to Russia. Western media falsely accuses Russia of invading, but there is no invasion, no shot fired, no military, no structural damage done.

May 2019: Petro Poroshenko leaves office with under 10% approval rating (lowest of any leader in the world). ... Volodymyr Zelensky wins election on promise to end the attacks on eastern Ukraine regions.

Newly elected Volodymyr Zelensky born and raised Russian speaking in eastern Ukraine, and barely fluent in Ukrainian was expected to implement the Minsk II Agreements. Which required Ukraine to remain outside NATO in exchange for which Russian troops would be removed and the Donbass regions would remain within Ukraine's border.

This would have also saved roughly a million lives. However, bullied by U.S. meddling in Kiev, weak Zelensky failed to act according to the majority of his people, and instead accepted the cynical U.S. McCain, Obama/Biden plans of U.S. diplomats Antony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, and Jake Sullivan.

June 2019: Zelensky meets with the Azov battalion and encourages it to stop attacking Donbass Ukraine regions, but the neo-Nazi militia leaders threaten to kill Zelensky if he gives the order to cease attacks. Zelensky is seen on tape telling the militia, that he is president and "not just some loser."

April 2020: Zelensky's approval rating has gone from 70% to 39%.

February 2021: Zelensky shuts down all major media but one.

May 2021: Zelensky meets with Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland, subsequently breaking his mandate and agreeing to escalate attacks on his own homeland Russian speaking eastern Ukraine.

Patiently watched by Vladimir Putin who on 24 February 2022 finally states, "De Nazi-fi Ukraine." Still falsely reported in scare dealing Western media as a 'Full scale invasion intending to take over much of Europe.'
