Putin "response" is not related to frozen reserves. Putin doesn't need reasons for "shitty response", he can fabricate them himself.
Thinking different means big flaw in one's logic. Just ask yourself: what was first, his attack or the sanctions? And if so, what was the reason for his shitty attack?!
Do not be fooled, if you look at the essence of things, or at least a little deeper than the surface, then at least 80% of the responsibility for the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine lies with the United States. The United States is the main beneficiary of this conflict, it weakens Russia in one fell swoop, shifts the attention of Americans from internal problems to external ones and, with the imposed sanctions policy, actually destroys a strong competitor in the face of the European Union. In Ukraine, the puppet government after the coup on the Maidan, and deliberately cultivate anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine, the United States began back in 2004 with the coming to power of Yushchenko. A similar US policy is being pursued in Taiwan towards China.

Taiwan doesn't want the Chinese government to invade them like they did with Hong Kong. The policy isn't as aggressive with Taiwan as the U.S. was with Ukraine. This is obvious because of geographical reasons, Ukraine's ambition to join NATO and such, but the U.S. interest in Taiwan lies within their microchip production. I don't think China would allow puppet government installation in Taiwan but that wouldn't be needed anyways, Taiwan is anti-CCP.
The situation between China and Taiwan is very different from the situation between Russia and Ukraine. But the US policy is similar as a blueprint. The United States is generally not distinguished by diversity in its foreign policy.

To be fair, it wasn't Russia who announced the default, and Russia in fact went angry about being classified this way and threatened with legal action. And, even though I'm Ukrainian, I must admit that Russia makes a good point that the issue is not with being unable to pay (not having the money), but with artificial limitations set by the sanctions (not having USD). But what's good is that the very fact of classifying Russia as being under selective default can cause panic selling and withdrawals of investors from the Russian market.

Regardless of your background, this is no reason to wishful thinking. I explain, and it can be checked. For the calculation of external obligations, so as not to violate contractual relations, are currently open. The only caveat is that they are open in currencies in which contractual obligations are carried out. Those. if Russia was credited in euros - here is an IBAN account for you in euros, if you were credited in dollars - here is an IBAN account for you to pay in dollars. The remaining accounts are blocked, and any receipts are blocked in accordance with the sanctions. So, Russia, instead of properly fulfilling its obligations and paying off the debt in euros, with a payment in euros, decided to turn on the "God mode" again and tell everyone that "and now we will pay our debts in rubles, because we are so decided!". Further explain what happened? I will explain - yes, the rubles, which no one needed, went to other accounts, where they were blocked. To leave then the rubles left, but they did not pay off the debt ... And this is logical. As a result, Western creditors have voiced that what is happening is, in fact, a default. What is wrong here? Smiley
Let's put it simply - you came to the supermarket, picked up groceries, and at the checkout you pay for groceries with banknotes that you issued in your family, well, just for fun. Tell me - what will happen to you at the exit after an attempt to close the arisen financial obligations to the supermarket? Smiley
You are mistaken. In March, Russia spent several tranches in dollars and euros to service its external debt, under a special license from the US Treasury, and these payments were successfully completed. Then the US Treasury revoked the license, and another payment dated April 4 was blocked by the bank. After that, Russia paid in rubles to a special C-account intended for the conversion of funds. This default, even if declared, is purely technical.

be.interested to know your theories since you seem to be one of the very rare people here who have the analytical abilities to know and/or deduce anything about the goings-on on the ground.
Thanks, although I don't think this is the right topic for an exchange of pleasantries. Despite the abundance of fakes in propaganda messages (or maybe even thanks to them - because they affect the morale of soldiers), Ukraine deserves to have its own wall of fame in this story. I respect military prowess, even if it is the prowess of the enemy. If a soldier fights bravely and remains faithful to his oath even in the face of an obviously stronger enemy, this is worthy of a man, regardless of the outcome of the battle.

The fact that Ukraine had 36 Bayraktars TB2, as well as a new batch of these Turkish drones, was confirmed by Reuters and CNN.

Oryx reports 34 (18+16) but let's not split hairs and assume they did have 36.

How come Russia claims to have destroyed 40+ by now? And they're still flying.
Perhaps because mini-Bayraktars, not only TB2, also got into the statistics.

No, they clearly stated TB2:

B тeчeниe дня, дoлoжил гeнepaл-мaйop, poccийcкиe вoeнныe yничтoжили eщe 65 yкpaинcкиx вoeнныx oбъeктoв, a тaкжe cбили тpи бecпилoтникa, в тoм чиcлe Bayraktar TB2 тypeцкoгo пpoизвoдcтвa.

This was well after the "35" had been "destroyed", and there are few more announcements like that.
There are statements on the net that Ukraine previously purchased not 18, but 50 Bairaktars TV2, but I am not sure about the reliability of the data source. Also, the head of Zelensky’s office, Andriy Yermak, in his interview on December 24, 2021, stated that Ukraine had established independent production of Bayraktarov. However, I am also not sure about the reliability of this data source.

1) The 13 Border Guides of Snake Island: These brave soldiers refused to surrender to the Russian Navy. They preferred to die as heroes than to surrender. When the Russian Navy onboard the the Moskva told these Ukrainian guides to surrender, their response was ' go f*** yourself'. The Moskva opened fire on them and they all died heroically. They have been identified as one the catalysts of the Ukrainian military gallantry.
It is curious that you started the walk of fame with a fake. On February 28, the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine admitted that all 82 defenders of Snake Island had surrendered. At the end of March, they were exchanged during one of the first prisoner exchanges to take place, and some of them were even solemnly presented with their well-deserved "posthumous" awards personally.

By the way, according to article 117 of the Geneva Convention "No one repatriated can be used in active military service".

is it Tchaikovsky's fault that his works are removed from the repertoire of European orchestras?

Is this a widespread thing, or is it just that Cardiff orchestra? I know they decided to stop playing the 1812 Overture, but AFAIK that's more because it features Russians firing cannons, so might be considered to be in poor taste.
Greece banned the broadcast of the Swan Lake ballet, and Sweden banned the performance of a local folk group in a concert in support of Ukraine, because the instruments include a balalaika. The books of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are not yet being burned in the squares, and that is nice.
Anyone who supports Putin's terrorist regime should be investigated to see if they provide material support to terrorists.

Supporting war crimes and ethnic cleansing is not exactly kosher in Germany, so they might get arrested.

German citizens can protest as long as they don't break any laws in Germany.  I am not sure if support for the Soviet Union or Communism is
allowed in Germany.  In the former Communist Eastern European countries, they would arrest your ass in a New York minute.

Does it make sense morally to support Russia's terrorist activities in Ukraine? Of course not.

In Latvia, I would also face up to five years in prison for openly supporting the operation in Ukraine. Convincing victory of democracy over freedom of speech, it's good that I'm not in Latvia. Grin

Speaking of which, apparently Ukrainians have a "base" and/or "firing position" in every fucking building in Mariupol, Russians bombed all of them, and still can't take the city. Is there perhaps a bit of a problem with this "bases and firing positions" nonsense?
Do not worry about Mariupol, I think the captured marines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will make a feasible contribution to the restoration of the city. I'm more worried about Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, judging by the concentration of troops on both sides, the battle for Donbass will be epic and very soon.
1931  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia announced a default on foreign obligations!!! on: April 14, 2022, 12:32:28 PM
1. A coup is the seizure of power by unconstitutional means.
2. On February 22, 2014, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a resolution on "self-elimination from the exercise of constitutional powers" of the current President of Ukraine Yanukovych. "Self-elimination of the president from the exercise of constitutional powers" is not indicated in the list of grounds for early termination of the powers of the head of state. Yanukovych's state of health was quite normal, the impeachment procedure was not carried out, that is, formally and in fact, a coup took place in Ukraine.

You can call it a color revolution according to the training manual of Bernard-Henri Levy, but the essence of this will not change - a coup is a coup.


1. Excellent! We remember the keyword - NOT in a CONSTITUTIONAL way. Or simply - in violation of local law. Yes ? By the way - why did you decide to modestly miss one very important point in the discussion of this issue - the constitutional system of Ukraine? This is, after all, a parliamentary-presidential one. Those. the main branch of power is PARLIAMENT? All right? Smiley That's right, because it's written in the Constitution of Ukraine!

2. And now we come to your amazing set of "facts" Smiley Let's simplify and ask a simple question - why are you lying? Are you deliberately lying? Smiley I'm ready to prove it here, and any participant can check the evidence! So, what was the essence of the "coup" process - After almost a week, the President of the Country did not appear at his workplace, did not get in touch, did not give any orders in any other way), the Verkhovna Rada voted for a resolution in which it was pointed out the need to temporarily assign the duties of the head of state to the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada (Alexander Turchynov. - The Verkhovna Rada has the right to such decisions) in connection with the self-elimination of Yanukovych.
No one removed Yanukovych from power or overthrew him. In the resolution of the Verkhovna Rada (dated February 22, 2014.), it is only about the fact that his powers are assigned to Turchynov in connection with the self-elimination of Yanukovych. The reason for the adoption of such a resolution was the absence of the president at the workplace, the lack of communication with him and the aggression that had begun in Crimea.
The next day, February 23, 2014, information became available that it was Yanukovych, violating the Constitution of Ukraine, who called, on the alleged behalf of Ukraine, to send Russian troops to forcefully suppress popular rallies requiring compliance with the law.
Viktor Yanukovych fled from Ukraine to Russia on the night of February 23, 2014 (before that, he had been hiding since mid-February, did not fulfill his obligations, did not get in touch, did not appear at the workplace).
According to the investigation, immediately after arriving in the Russian Federation, Yanukovych entered into an agreement with the Russian authorities to obtain preferences and further residence in Russia. The former president is charged with "encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine", "high treason" and "waging an aggressive war." The investigation believes that the Kremlin used Yanukovych as the alleged acting head of state to "legitimize the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine and the occupation of part of Ukrainian territory."


Notice how different your version and mine are. Yours - built on propaganda, mine - on historical facts? Smiley I would strongly recommend that you stop lying, besides, it is so primitive - all the facts can now be checked very simply Smiley
Breathe deeply, you are excited. This is your country, your history and you have to live with it. I think there is nothing wrong with making a coup - if the attempt was successful. This is the case when "winners are not judged." The revolution of 1917 in Russia was also a coup, it was called a revolution later. Yanukovych could not hold on to power, so he is just a loser. Why does Ukraine need a loser president? Even a comedian is better than a loser.

The problem is they target civilian targets like residential buildings, hospitals, schools.
This is indeed a big problem, but it is predominantly in the minds of the soldiers of the Ukrainian army, who often use schools, hospitals and the upper floors of residential buildings as their bases and firing positions. It would be better if they did it silently for the image of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but there are quite a lot of such videos on the net. As soon as field intelligence finds something similar, a missile attack on the position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine immediately follows.

Your video on the second link shows an alleged missile attack on a high-rise building in Kyiv and its consequences. It was the success of the Ukrainian missile defense at the very beginning of the operation, a Russian missile aimed at a military facility was shot down and its fragments fell into a residential building. If a Russian rocket hit the house, the house would not have a hole in the side, but a large pile of rubble.

The third video shows a missile attack on the building of the Kharkiv city administration, where at that moment a gathering of nationalists was taking place. These data were obtained and confirmed by Russian intelligence from several sources. The Russian special services have long hands, I recommend that the militants of the national battalions do not gather in groups of more than 20 people and do not stay in one place for a long time. The range of the Kalibr missile is more than 2500 km, the range of the X-101 missile is more than 5500 km, the range of the Iskander missile is up to 500 km, the high-precision missile can be struck from the sea, from the air or from the ground at any point in Ukraine at any time.
1933  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Have you been infected with Covid-19? on: April 14, 2022, 06:58:05 AM
I don't know if I had covid-19 because I never did a PCR test. In the fall of 2020, I had some malaise, maybe it was covid-19 in a very mild form, but this is not certain. In February 2022 I did an antibody test and it was negative. I have not been vaccinated against covid-19, although I had and still have such an opportunity. After weighing the risks, I decided that it was not necessary for me. Early in the pandemic, I signed up as a volunteer to keep my freedom of movement during the lockdown and continued to live a normal life without much restrictions, sometimes wearing a mask when I entered the store. I did not use sanitizers so as not to spoil the skin on my hands, I just washed my hands with soap every time I returned home (however, I did this before the pandemic). I have reassessed my attitude towards the covid-19 vaccine every time a new strain of the virus appeared, and each time I was inclined to believe that for me personally the risks of the vaccine outweigh the benefits. I am not campaigning for or against anyone, this is just my personal experience, which is of value mainly only to me. Many in my close circle have been ill with covid-19, some are quite severe and they had to go to the hospital. Fortunately, none of them died.
1934  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia as the cornerstone of the world economy on: April 14, 2022, 05:54:20 AM
I would add this here - Russia, having previously delivered ultimatums a couple of times, and having received what it wanted, decided that they would continue to calmly achieve their goals by the method of threats, blackmail, ultimatums, and their fifth column in the EU (Merkel, Macron and many others) . They were sure that the EU, the USA, Britain would allow Ukraine to be swallowed up, once again closing their eyes or "expressing concern."
The sad thing is, nobody could stop them and they realized this long time ago. I mean what could the world do about it? The power of nuclear they have, and the willingness to use it if they are not given what they want to creates the biggest issue right now.

What we are looking at right now is the fact that Russia could do whatever it wants, and if you do not do just sanctions, if you do something militarily, like send soldiers, then they will send nukes and that's it, there is no discussion after that and everyone is afraid of that. I do not think that Russia will stop here, they will do whatever they want to do, because nobody else could top them.

You understand what the problem is with Russia's nuclear weapons - yes they do exist, yes they are ready, at least according to statements, to use them. But let's look at this situation, in a timeline of +50 years, for example. The EU and the US, for example, will surrender Ukraine tomorrow. AND ? What's next ? Is it all over? Not ! On the contrary - having felt the taste of "victory" Russia will say - now hand over the Baltic countries to me! And what to do again?
I will now give a very simple example, but very clear. "Russian World" or rashism is an oncological disease that is now trying to hit the world. If you have come across this class of diseases, then you know how it is treated - very painful and destructive procedures of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This creates a terrible side effect. BUT ! The only way to cure cancer is to KILL IT! The situation with rashism and its nuclear weapons looks exactly the same. You can not give in and give up, only win! Only destroy otherwise he will destroy all of us, someone before someone a little later ...
Unfortunately, a point of view like yours seems to be quite widespread in narrow circles. In words, the West in every possible way denies direct military participation in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but in reality the likelihood of this continues to increase with each new supply of weapons to Ukraine. When it comes to deliveries from Germany of old Leopards 1, which have a place in the dustbin of history, and not on the battlefield, this is one thing, but when the United States begins to supply more serious and modern heavy weapons, this is quite another. I assess the likelihood of a direct military conflict between Russia and NATO in the next 4-6 weeks as already high enough to be neglected. Such a conflict, under all possible scenarios for modeling the development of events, will quickly develop into a third world war with the use of nuclear weapons. Russia's demonstration of the capabilities of hypersonic weapons has forced many of the current strategies of NATO generals to be thrown into the trash, but not all of them. Even the understanding that no one will be able to sit out in a bunker on the other side of the ocean does not seem to be a strong enough deterrent.

With a direct clash of different mentalities with different ideological attitudes, the one with the firmest attitude wins. But if two cars are racing towards each other at high speed and neither of them is ready to turn, there will be a head-on collision and both will die. Someone will go to heaven, and someone will simply die - the only difference is this. Here is a question that every person should ask themselves every day until this conflict is over - are you ready to die today?

1936  Economy / Economics / Re: WTF? Food prices expected to raise up to 50% in German supermarket. on: April 14, 2022, 04:31:32 AM
Small farmers are focused on the local domestic market, and large agricultural complexes are under state protection, so neither one nor the other will suffer from the ban on food exports. Plus, the ban is not complete, but only in order not to jeopardize the food security of Russia, therefore, through the decision of the government commission, exceptions are possible for friendly countries. After 2014, Russia made a huge breakthrough in this direction and instead of a food importer, it became a major exporter. The current ban was introduced until August, that is, before the harvest of a new crop, according to its results and depending on the development of the situation in Ukraine, it will be revised in August.

Judging by your previous messages, you yourself know everything about fertilizers, without fertilizers from Russia, the harvest will be lower. Plus, the sowing campaign has already been disrupted in Ukraine and there will be no harvest there this year, at all. These are large shortfalls, and someone will have to compensate for them in order to avoid a humanitarian crisis with hunger. I would not worry too much about the lack of demand, food is not a luxury, but a first necessity. People all over the world have a strange irrational habit of eating breakfast, lunch and dinner - and so every day. There are rumors that there are Yogis in India who eat sunlight, but I do not know them personally.

Well.. I know that Uralkali and Belaruskali are some of the largest producers of potash fertilizers in the world. Now both these companies are sanctioned by the Western government (the latter one many months ago, after the post-election violence in Belarus). Other leading Potash manufacturers (especially Canada and China), may have some spare capacity, but they are in no position to completely replace the Russian/Belarussian production (~40% of the global supply). The impact of reduced grain production from Ukraine, and reduced productivity from elsewhere due to fertilizer shortage will be noticeable from next year onwards.
You are right, this year will not be so noticeable yet, and next year there will be a strong reduction in yields - in the West from the lack of Russian and Belarusian fertilizers and from saving the gas from which these fertilizers are made. In Russia, due to the transition to domestic seed material, which is worse in quality. It looks like China knew something when it accumulated huge stocks of food all last year.

Возможно, ты и прав отчасти. Да к я же с тем и не спорю. Я с самого начала написал, что у России преимущество в ракетах. Но остаётся интригой возможность поставок дальнойбойных ракет украм со стороны Европы и амеров. Пока работает громоздкая бюрократичсеская машина по согласованию.
Однако одних дальнобойных ракет недостаточно для победы, как бы странно это ни звучало.
Пока преимущество в ракетах не позволяет россам продвинуться вглубь Украины.

Так себе интрига, дальнобойными ракетами надо ещё уметь пользоваться. Большой сюрприз русских в этой операции - активное применение ВКС противорадиолокционной ракеты Х-31ПМ с дальностью поражения 300км. Эта маленькая хтоническая хрень эрегирует на излучение радиолокаторов, и делает всю систему ПВО Украины если не полностью слепой, то крайне фрагментированной. Ещё одна лютая вафля - свежие модификации "Бука", которыми было сбито большинство укро-турецких Байрактаров. "Аллигатор" Ка-52 вообще оказался звездой вечеринки, похоже долгие споры о преимуществе одноосевой схемы перед двухосевой теперь надолго закрыты. Единственное реальное преимущество Украины - в количестве пехоты. Но надо понимать, что со стороны России работают в основном элитные подразделения с реальным боевым опытом, а добрая половина украинской пехоты это необстрелянный фольксштурм, который побросает калаши при первом удобном случае, если до него доживёт.

China and Russia are 2 countries that have strong economic power at this time, although Europe's plan to impose sanctions on Russia due to the invasion of Ukraine but I'm sure this will not have any impact because they have a strong ally, namely China. the plan to create a new world order is certainly a good idea to make the global economic position more stable.
Yes, after all Russia and China besides having strong economic power they are also big countries,
the two countries can be said to be able to stand alone without depending on other countries because they have a strong economy and sufficient resources,
this is interesting to discuss and let's see if the plan will materialize or not

Two countries alone can't make up a major trading bloc or come up with a new world order. Right now, only a handful of countries are on their side and these are mostly pariah states such as North Korea, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and Syria. Even traditional allies of Russia, such as Serbia and Bulgaria have now joined the NATO bloc. Fastest growing economies, such as Brazil, India, Indonesia and Nigeria remain opposed to the Russia-China alliance due to varying reasons (in case of India, as a result of the ongoing border dispute with China on Aksai Chin region).
However, they have already done so. China is a difficult ally because it puts its national interests above all else and cherishes plans for the leading role of the Middle Kingdom in the world. The Chinese do not assimilate with the locals, and when the Chinese come to any city, a Chinatown appears in the city. There are relatively few Chinese in Russia just because they don't like cold weather and prefer a warmer climate. Therefore, China's interests in Russia are predominantly resource-oriented. But since resources in Russia are in great abundance, relations between Russia and China are now mutually beneficial - therefore the alliance exists.

An international investigation is already underway in Bucha, but everything is clear as day there. The national police entered the city and organized a purge of "collaborators", killing everyone who did not have a blue bandage on his arm, and especially those with a white one. Yes, even shooting a video about it, which they then tried in vain to remove from the network.
I like how you changed your position about Bucha. First you said that it was fake made by Ukraine when they carried out dead people to the streets to show it to foreign media. And now you're saying  that they made purge of collaborators.
I think it was like this. The national police of Ukraine entered the city and staged a cleansing operation, killing first comers without blue armbands (- Boн пaцaны бeз cиниx пoвязoк, мoжнo пo ним cтpeлять? - A тo, бля!), and especially "collaborators" with white armbands. Then, in the propaganda department, they decided that it was possible to make a good picture on this and blame the Russians.

If something goes against Russian narrative, just blame Ukrainians, even if all proofs  goes against you. About that video with shooting in Bucha, it's clearly visible that tanks have V letter used by Russian forces. Even Peskov was caught on interview. So, then he simply started to defend himself that it was fake.
With a cyclist, this is a different story and it is rather strange. I already expressed my opinion on it above, perhaps the Russians considered his behavior strange and saw the threat of a terrorist attack, because I see no other reasonable reasons to shoot several times from a 30mm cannon of an airborne combat vehicle, and then from a tank at a man on a bicycle. I hope the international investigation, which is currently underway, will restore in detail the picture of the tragedy in Bucha.

And what about Kramatorsk? I see everything quickly calmed down there after the serial number surfaced. Provocation failed? But there 50 people died from a missile strike with cluster munitions on their own civilians. An ugly story, it would be nice to deal with it and punish the perpetrators. However, I think that the direct executors have already been demilitarized, Russian intelligence officers in the field work well and Russian missiles hit right on the target.
So, based on that historical definition, All Ukrainians are now Nazi's (as I'm pretty sure they all hate Russians now). As well as all Americans, Polish, English, Mongols (eh, just guessing), Japanese (give them their island back), etc.  
Russia has no claims to Mongolia.
Putin could not care less if there are Nazis or not. His aims are unrelated to any "crusade" of "holy war", they are only geopolitical and at this point, it is quite clear that he overestimated his army, underestimated Ukrainian's will to be free, got the EU response completely wrong and, at this point he just had to change fully the strategy and put it under the command of a general that successfully flattened Aleppo and called that a victory.
I think Putin underestimated Ukraine's desire to fight Russia. Perhaps he harbored false hopes that the Nazi contagion had struck mainly only the militants of the nationalist battalions, but not the regular army of Ukraine. Otherwise, it would have been reasonable in the very first days or even hours of the operation to inflict massive missile strikes on military barracks, this would have had a strong demoralizing effect. Ukraine is fighting very well against such a strong opponent as Russia. A change in general means a change in tactics, I think the operation will become more bloody in the near future. Personally, it doesn't make me happier.

Putin "response" is not related to frozen reserves. Putin doesn't need reasons for "shitty response", he can fabricate them himself.
Thinking different means big flaw in one's logic. Just ask yourself: what was first, his attack or the sanctions? And if so, what was the reason for his shitty attack?!
Do not be fooled, if you look at the essence of things, or at least a little deeper than the surface, then at least 80% of the responsibility for the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine lies with the United States. The United States is the main beneficiary of this conflict, it weakens Russia in one fell swoop, shifts the attention of Americans from internal problems to external ones and, with the imposed sanctions policy, actually destroys a strong competitor in the face of the European Union. In Ukraine, the puppet government after the coup on the Maidan, and deliberately cultivate anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine, the United States began back in 2004 with the coming to power of Yushchenko. A similar US policy is being pursued in Taiwan towards China.
Oh I love reading your posts Smiley
And let's, as adults, adequate people, now quickly deal with the "coup in Ukraine?
Very simple questions:
1. The wording of what is a "coup d'état"
2. a list of events in Ukraine that correspond to paragraph 1, in the format date, event, performer / performers. You can add what rule of law violated

Now we will find out the whole truth about the "coup", unless of course the "reality" is fabulous Smiley
1. A coup is the seizure of power by unconstitutional means.
2. On February 22, 2014, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a resolution on "self-elimination from the exercise of constitutional powers" of the current President of Ukraine Yanukovych. "Self-elimination of the president from the exercise of constitutional powers" is not indicated in the list of grounds for early termination of the powers of the head of state. Yanukovych's state of health was quite normal, the impeachment procedure was not carried out, that is, formally and in fact, a coup took place in Ukraine.

You can call it a color revolution according to the training manual of Bernard-Henri Levy, but the essence of this will not change - a coup is a coup.

The United States is the main beneficiary of this conflict, it weakens Russia in one fell swoop,

But, but, I thought the father of the fatherland and his troll army said that Russia is better than ever, sanction makes orc army stronger, killl all nazi, Russia stronk..
How come now its weakened?
Well, because of the sanctions. Or do you think that sanctions are imposed to strengthen the country's economy, and not to weaken? It can be said for a long time and at length that this sword is double-edged and sanctions not only weaken the country on which they are imposed, but also cause damage to the country that imposes them (and Biden speaks openly about this, blaming Putin for the current surge in inflation in the United States), but too lazy to print.
