Ukraine’s “Democratic Coup d’Etat”: Killing Civilians as a Pretext for Regime Change | Global Research

With the support of Washington, Ukraine’s opposition
“transitional government” headed by the parliament’s speaker Oleksandr
Turchinov has issued an arrest warrant directed against the
democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych, accusing him of
having ordered the “mass murder” of civilians during the bloody riots
and clashes with police forces on Maidan Independence Square.

This “mass murder” for which he is accused bears the fingerprints
of the Right Sector Neo-Nazi party Svoboda, which is supported and
financed through various channels by the US and the EU.

The Maidan riots as well as the riots organized in other parts of the
country were carefully staged with a timeline and specific political
objectives in mind. Civilian casualties were part of this staged agenda,
with a view to accusing president Yanukovych of “mass murder”, thereby
providing a justification for regime change on humanitarian grounds.

Armed with riot shields and clubs, the [Neo-Nazi] group’s
cadres have manned the front lines of the Euromaidan battles this
month, filling the air with their signature chant: “Ukraine above all!”
