For more than a decade, the United States has nurtured a secret intelligence partnership with Ukraine that is now critical for both countries in countering Russia.

Maidan Revolution: February 2014

Today: February 2024

Thanks for the confirmation of what we all knew already: that the US was directly involved in instigating and supporting colour revolution in Ukraine to counter Russia.

Yeah, that's not what it said. You are making a connection that is not there and repeating a putinist talking point.

You can’t create what isn’t there. There’s a whole history of political abuse that festered. The CIA capitalized on that, they didn’t just waltz in February 2014 and say: “How about let’s have a revolution, eh guys?”

Looks like OP addressed that too

...this a link to a comment you posted, not OP, and it's linking an article that is specifically telling the tale of the CIA's complete failure to instigate a revolution from nothing

They are still the bad guys.

Yes, the US has never not been the bad guy.
