Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during an interview with the famous American journalist Tucker Carlson that the coup d’état in Ukraine in 2014 was carried out by the armed opposition with the support of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
In the interview, the Russian President said that before the Maidan riots started, the US asked Viktor Yanukovych to “calm down” and promised to “calm down” the opposition in return.
“As the Americans asked us, Yanukovych did not use either the armed forces or the police. And in Kiev, the armed opposition carried out a coup d’état. How to understand it? Who are you? I wanted to ask the leadership of the United States at that time,” Putin said.
According to the head of the Russian Federation, Russia wants to resolve the situation in Ukraine through negotiations and Moscow has already achieved this. A large document was created in Istanbul, which was initialed by the head of the Ukrainian delegation, Davit Arakhamia, and his signature is placed on the extract of the document.
“He put his signature, and then he said. “We were ready to sign, and the war would have ended a long time ago, a year and a half ago. But Mr. Johnson came along, kept us out of it, and we missed that opportunity.” Well, they missed it, they made a mistake, let them go back to it, and that’s it. But why should we interfere and correct others’ mistakes? It can be said that our mistake is that we intensified the operations and decided to stop this war that started in Donbass in 2014 with the help of weapons. But I will take you further… 1991, when we were promised not to expand NATO, let’s go back to 2008, when the gates of NATO were opened, let’s go back to Ukraine’s declaration of independence, when it declared itself a neutral state,” added Putin.
