A Distorted Lens Justifying An Illegitimate Ukrainian Government | Global Research

Why does Western media ignore critical information about the snipers that killed Euromaidan protesters in Ukraine?

Support it or oppose it, a coup d’état took place in Kiev after an EU-brokered agreement was
signed by the Ukrainian government and the mainstream opposition on
Feb. 21. The agreement called for power sharing between both sides
through the formation of a national unity government and for an end to
the opposition-led street protests in Kiev. President Viktor Yanukovych
ordered the Ukrainian police and security forces to withdraw from their
positions, and even earlier, he had made multiple concessions to the
opposition leadership.

Instead of keeping its end of the bargain, the Ukrainian
mainstream opposition executed a coup through the use of violence by
organized ultra-nationalist gangs, which some analysts have compared to
stay-behinds or secretive militias that were created by NATO during the
Cold War.

These armed ultra-nationalist groups took over
administrative bodies in Ukraine and fought until they managed to oust
the Ukrainian government and opened the path for opposition leaders to
take power on Feb. 25. The Ukrainian mainstream opposition used the
EU-brokered agreement, which the Brussels-based European Commission
deliberately refused to enforce, as a means of justifying the formation
of a coup-imposed government.
