Modern history of Ukraine

A Moscow court has ruled that the events in February 2014 in Ukraine constitute a state coup, reported TASS.

The decision of the Dorogomilovsky court came after a request on behalf of former Ukrainian deputy Vladimir Oleynik.

The participation of "armed nationalist forces" in the change of the regime is an important factor in the decision of the court.

Ambassador of Ukraine in Belgrade Oleksandr Aleksandrovich organized a reception on the occasion of Ukraine's Independence Day.

Addressing the guests, Aleksandrovich "pointed to the long history of the Ukrainian people and events of the recent past such as the Orange Revolution and the Euromaidan."

Novinite is publishing an analysis by Simeon Nikolov, Director of the Center for Strategic Research in the field of Security and Internal Relations, a Bulgaria-based think-tank.

This is what former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, subsequently driven from office by mass protests in Kyiv, said to German Chancellor Angela Merkel just one year ago, at the start of the crisis.
