Jump To Comment: 1 2The Czech Republic's President Milos Zeman said, in an interview, in the January 3rd edition of Prague's daily newspaper Pravo, that Czechs who think of the overthrow of Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych, on 22 February 2014, as having been like Czechoslovakia's authentically democratic “Velvet Revolution” are seeing it in a profoundly false light, because, (as Russian Television translated his statement into English) "Maidan was not a democratic revolution.” He said that this is the reason why Ukraine now is in a condition of “civil war,” in which the residents of the Donbass region in Ukraine's southeast have broken away from the Ukrainian Government.
He furthermore said that, "Judging by some of the statements of [Ukrainian] Prime Minister Yatsenyuk, I think that he is rather a prime minister of war because he does not want a peaceful solution, as recommended by the European Union (EU), but instead prefers to use force.” (By contrast, George Soros, who has invested in Ukrainian bonds, and whose International Renaissance Foundation — also called The International Renaissance Fund — helped finance the overthrow of Yanukovych, as well as the hate-mongering Hromadske TV in Ukraine, is proud of it, and has repeatedly said that the EU must invest whatever is necessary for Ukraine to win its war against the residents of Donbass, and carry the war to victory against Russia. His alleged passion for ‘democracy' has evidently been actually a hatred of Russians; it wasn't an opposition to communism, after all; he hates Russians even after they have abandoned communism. Today's Czech President is instead committed to democracy, not to hatred and bigotry of any sort. He's a real democrat.) ...
The Ukrainian Government's problem is that there just aren't enough nazis, and there's also not enough money, to do the amounts of killing that need to be done in order to enable Obama's Ukrainian regime to retain the land in Donbass while eliminating the people there. The 90% of those people who had voted for the man (Viktor Yanukovych) whom Obama overthrew are far more numerous, and far more motivated, than are the vast majority of Ukraine's soldiers ...
