DISINFO: Euromaidan was organised by the Americans
SUMMARY
What happened, you yourself know – a coup d’etat, Maidan, which in fact was organised by the Americans.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Ukraine's statehood which claims that the Euromaidan protests were organised by foreign forces. The spontaneous onset of the massive Euromaidan protests was a reaction of the Ukrainian population to the sudden departure of President Yanukovych from the Association Agreement with the European Union and to the brutal dispersal of student protestors on 30 November 2013.
