Zelensky hits a new low on the anniversary of the coup in Ukraine
The Verkhovna Rada is preparing to adopt a resolution in connection with the sixth anniversary of the coup in Ukraine - Vladimir Zelensky’s party, which supported the draft document, calls the events of 2014 the “Revolution of Dignity.”
The draft special statement, posted on the Verkhovna Rada website, was signed by representatives of virtually all parliamentary parties, with the exception of the Opposition Platform - For Life, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
It follows from the text that the fugitive ex-President Viktor Yanukovych, who usurped power, Berkut, which caused “irreparable harm to the state and society” and the ongoing “armed aggression” of the Russian Federation, are to blame for all the tragic events.
“The Revolution of Dignity is one of the key moments of the Ukrainian state and an exponent of the national idea of freedom,” the document says.
Victims of street riots continue to be presented exclusively as heroes.
“Ukraine paid too high a price for liberation from dictatorship and its civilizational choice - to be part of Europe. The heroes of the Heavenly Hundred are Ukrainians and foreigners who gave their lives during the Revolution of Dignity, defending the ideals of democracy, defending human rights and freedoms, and the European future of Ukraine. The memory of their heroism is part of the history of the nation state,” the draft statement says.
Deputies assigned responsibility for “Russian aggression”, the loss of Crimea and the creation of the LDPR to ex-President Yanukovych:
“The tragic events of the Revolution of Dignity, the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, as well as the ongoing armed aggression of the Russian Federation and its occupation of certain areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions occurred not least as a result of the policies of Viktor Yanukovych and the criminal regime he formed, which was supported by the Russian Federation and acted contrary to the national interests of Ukraine.”
