I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

The C.I.A.’s partnership in Ukraine can be traced back to two phone calls on the night of Feb. 24, 2014, eight years to the day before Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Those phone calls, as I already mentioned, did not reveal a secret CIA partnership with Ukraine. They revealed the US was not up to date on what was happening at the time and that they were in the beginning stages of figuring out what to do in Ukraine. Russian propaganda claims otherwise but there's never been any evidence of that.

The CIA building a bunker to run ops from makes sense since Putin immediately invaded Crimea and sparked the Donbas war. That was built well after the revolution had already taken place. It is not evidence of meddling before or during the revolution.

I see you are not fond of citing sources that can be verified

It's really not that difficult to find. At this point you're just spewing nonsense. Time for a block.

Nonsense? Is the National Endowment for Democracy’s role after the Orange Revolution and before the Euromaidan nonsense?

Perfecting ‘Regime Change’ in Ukraine

Oh look, actual Nazis.

Underlining the Endowment’s insidious true nature, in a 1991 Washington Post article boasting of its prowess in overthrowing Communism in Eastern Europe, senior NED official Allen Weinstein acknowledged, “a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.” source

Sorry I irritated your cognitive dissonance. Best of luck 🤞
