Ukrainian protesters killed in downtown Kyiv in 2014 were fired on by domestic law enforcement officers, not Russian snipers, according to an investigation by the nation’s prosecutors.
OK yeah everyone knew the cops started shooting protesters, but the real mystery is who were the snipers shooting the riot cops.
While Moscow influenced the decisions of then-President Viktor Yanukovych’s government, the order to shoot at protesters gathered on Independence Square in the capital was issued by the authorities and was carried out by Ukrainian forces, Interfax-Ukraine news service reported, citing prosecutor Oleksii Donskyi in Kyiv.
I didn't know there was a theory about Russian snipers. I thought it was just the pro-Russian president who was blamed.
It was the Russians
It wasn't the Russians but they were paid by Russia
It wasn't the Russians but they were brainwashed by Russian propaganda
It wasn't the Russians but it only happened because Russia was doing bad stuff
It wasn't the Russians but it was a rogue actor and not the Ukrainians either
It wasn't the Russians but it was only a small faction in Ukraine
It was the Ukrainians and had no connection with foreign parties
It was the Ukrainians who had grown up or been trained in America, but no further connection
It was the Ukrainians who were brainwashed by American propaganda
It was the Ukrainians who were paid by American private interests
It was the Ukrainians who were paid off by covert forces in the American government
It was the Americans
Just like for Nordstream, I wonder where we will end up on this spectrum...
