Ukraine chose a government that wanted to take further steps to approach the European Union an the US. Putin could not live with it - it simply gives too many ideas to the rest of the nations under his foot. It is simple as it gets.
No, someone else chose it for them:

You must have been sleeping... Or maybe it is a side effect of the product they used on you during the brainwashing sessions...

That campaign continues today.

Authorities in Germany and Czech Republic determined that Russia used the Voice of Europe organization to provide funds to far-right, Eurosceptic, politicians (mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Hungary and Poland) in order to influence European elections in favour of positions against Ukraine and the European Union.
All these dumBAss that think they are "in the know" are simply manipulated to the point that they think that all the rest all manipulated except them. It is a masterful work I reckon.
Now on your "videos" and "sources", I am listening to a (let's assume could be real and not made up as your usual "sources") conversation between two US diplomats speaking of their interests in the government of a country. Apart from their poor use of language and swearing, these happen every day, in every government (including ALL governments - including Ruzzia). I can also hear how they say that Ruzzia is trying to "torpedo" the changes - which is nothing new.
Nothing new, no cookies, ... does not prove anything other than what is know: Putin did not want it, the US was in favour. It does not change the facts:
- The government of a country does not change simply with "cookies", it requires much more.
- The government of Ukraine would not be able to survive a general opposition of its citizens, the army and/or the economic powers right the moment it is invaded.
- Ukraine would have never looked elsewhere if Ruzzia had not make several diplomatic mistakes.
You should face it: Putin had been fed the same tales you are telling, the difference is that by now, he has realised that they were simply not true. You are like the chess player that makes a mistakes and argue the opponent took advantage of it.
However, one should wonder why is Trump so eager to transfer Ukraine to Putin. What do you think Branko? Does he prefer Belgian chips or raisins in his cookies?
