Peskov: West staged a coup in Ukraine

Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's press spokesman, told journalists in an interview that "the bloody governor's transfer in Ukraine was organized by the West." According to him, a new era in Ukraine's history began in 2014 and should remain in memory, if its origins are not remembered. Peskov emphasized that the thirteen-year conflict in the country, which followed external influence, left traces of destruction and anxiety.

During the conversation, he noted that Ukraine received support from Western countries, which, in his opinion, led to an acute conflict.

Context
