US 2024 Presidential Election

are you confused about what the Berkut was or what?

Nope, the FSB, who were directly involved at the behest of the SBU.

In any case, it seems weird that you of all people would take issue with Ukraine's elected government exercising "agency" and receiving foreign aid in maintaining its security.

It's almost as if a government's right to determine its own policy may extend to defending against foreign invasion, but doesn't extend to brutalising its own populace!

That's what domestic Banderite Nazis are for.

In any case, it seems weird that you of all people would take issue with Ukraine's elected government exercising "agency" and receiving foreign aid in maintaining its security. But when it's protecting the elected government from Nazi paramilitary street gangs and their snipers, I guess it's different somehow.

On who's behalf did they gain this security? Certainly not on behalf of their citizens or their country which they tried betraying to the Russians. A corrupt president betraying his country to a hostile entity, and then inviting armed forces of said hostile entity to fire at protesters isn't a country showing ''agency''. Yanukovitch wasn't representing Ukraine during Maidan. That was the whole problem Ukraine had with him.
