  1.  @aiesyahsyahirah4717  There was the Revolution of Dignity/Maidan in 2014. First there was an attempted coup by the russians. They put pressure on president Yanukovych to not sign an already negotiated political association and free trade deal with EU. When people heard about this scam, they gathered in the streets. Protesters opposed what they saw as widespread government corruption and abuse of power, the influence of russians and oligarchs, police brutality, and human rights violations. Resessive anti-protest laws fuelled further anger. In January and February 2014 further protests resulted in the government’s resignation. (The russian friendly president ordered snipers to kill the protesters). On 21 February, Yanukovych and the parliamentary opposition signed an agreement to bring about an interim unity government, constitutional reforms and early elections. The next day, 22 February, the Ukrainian parliament voted to remove Yanukovych from office by 328 to 0. Russia then occupied and annexed Crimea, with “little green men” (Russian masked soldiers). More “little green men” together with Russian armed pro-Russian separatists seized government buildings and proclaimed the independent states of Donetsk and Luhansk, sparking the Donbas war.
