First there was an EU agreement. But then IMF added conditions to make the agreement impossible. That is what caused it/whole to be rejected. Nazis committing a black flag execution of protesters blaming it on government was the coup that caused Yanukovych to flee. The US installed coup rulers imposing apartheid against Russian speakers, and the Odessa massacre is what caused Crimea to leave, and Donbas to demand autonomy.
Odessa massacre? I'm a pinko sympathizer and try to hear out so called "tankies" because they often have a point. but it is just ahistorical to call it a massacre. There is video footage of the pro maidan protesters bringing construction scaffolding to the building to help people escape.
Trying to hear out white supremacists too?
No, in general i take a dim view of supremacist/essentialist ideology. However I've seen entire servers on Lemmy described as tankie, but haven't run into anyone on here getting called a white supremacist. I imagine mods take care of those pretty quick.
