Kremlin Expresses Disappointment Over Von Der Leyen's Approval of Ukraine's Euromaidan Coup
11:51 26.11.2023 (Updated: 12:47 26.11.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - In November 2013, Ukraine witnessed a wave of demonstrations following the government's decision to suspend plans for closer ties with the European Union, which quickly turned into an anti-presidential movement, which eventually led to a coup d'etat in February 2014.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov expressed regret over European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's recent praise of Ukraine's Euromaidan coup, referring to it as "10 years of dignity."
"It's regrettable, since, I think, a violent coup has never been perceived as a celebration in the modern European history," Peskov told reporters in response to von der Leyen's remarks on the 10th anniversary of the Euromaidan.
Dmitry Peskov recalled that a decade ago, the
Euromaidan, named after a square in the Ukrainian capital where coup chieftains headquartered, resulted in the overthrow of a legitimate Ukrainian government by those promoting ultra right ideas which gradually escalated into "explicitly Nazi" policies.
"Then, it caused the emergence of such a regime in Kiev that turned out to be dangerous for us, which turned out to be dangerous for part of its people, I mean Russians, and unfortunately continues to in the tragedies that we see every day in Ukraine," Peskov added.
November, 2013, saw a series of protests break out in Ukraine due to the authorities' decision to halt a policy aimed at
integrating with the EU. The unrest quickly turned anti-presidential and anti-governmental, with the country's opposition calling for a national revolution.
More than a hundred people died in clashes between the Ukrainian security forces and the demonstrators. The protests eventually turned into a coup, leading to the ouster of then-President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014.
