DISINFO: There was a military-fascist coup in Ukraine

SUMMARY

There was a military-fascist coup in Ukraine.

RESPONSE

There was no coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014. The spontaneous onset of the Euromaidan protests was not provoked from outside. The demonstrations were an organic reaction by numerous parts of the Ukrainian population to former President Yanukovych’s sudden departure from the promised Association Agreement with the European Union in November 2013.
