Recent events
Where the pro-Russia demonstrations in the aftermath are covered? It should be added that some of the recent protest are neither spontaneous, nor entirely local, and include Russian tourist/activist and organized busloads arriving from Russia itself.— Preceding unsigned comment added by An unknown editor (talk) 3, March 2014 (UTC)
NOT a revolution
The title and entire contents are false here. It is well documented that this was not a revolution but rather a coup organised by NATO and the USK military industrial complex. That's why the current Kiev regime is being resisted by people in the East. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.191.75.172 (talk) 02:09, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Title not from a neutral point of view
The claim that the events can be described as revolution is a biased (also any further claims deriving from the assumption this must be true). The other POV is that this is about an externally backed coup. So the terms revolution and coup are not neutral until there is historical consensus about this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.67.181.135 (talk) 17:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Only one of your references is a reliable source (Japan Times) and it consists of one person's commentary. --NeilN 17:09, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Don't even waste time engaging with these types, Mr N. No reliable source (don't try pushing opinion pieces) calls this a "coup", which is an implausible term. RGloucester — ☎ 17:10, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
missing elements
I don't think this page can be classified as neutral as it is.
There is no special section for foreign leaders who spoke on the Maidan. Yet many people see the presence of people like Ashton on the Maidan where she gave a speech in support of the protests as a severe violation of the principle of "non-interference" in the internal affairs of other countries. In this context it is also strange that the leaked phone conversation between Victoria Nuland and ambassador Pyatt about who should rule Ukraine isn't mentioned. In my opinion this should be in a paragraph 2.2: Western involvement.
I recommend including something from the following NY Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/04/world/europe/ukraine-leader-was-defeated-even-before-he-was-ousted.html This gives background to the Russian advice to Yanukovich on how to deal with the protests - that was largely ignored - and paints it as sound from the tactical point of view.83.86.53.85 (talk) 11:24, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Barack Obama admits the role of US in regime change in Ukraine
This is just in and reported on several outlets. I think it should definitely be included in this article since this shows that the so-called "revolution" wasn't simply a revolution but was a calculated ouster funded/supported by nations including the US (for geopolitical reasons).
