Yes, and the control of Ukraine was up to Ukrainians until 2014 - when Obama and Hillary stepped in.
Being under the corrupt influence of the DNC isn't much of an improvement.
Alternative history from a DNC stooge.
{
Yanukovych was
elected president in 2010, defeating Prime Minister
Yulia Tymoshenko. The election was judged free and fair by international observers.
[5][6] In November 2013 a series of events started that led to his ousting as president.
[7][8][9] Yanukovych rejected a pending
EU association agreement, choosing instead to pursue a Russian loan bailout and closer ties with Russia. This led to protests and the occupation of Kyiv's Independence Square, a series of events dubbed the "
Euromaidan" by proponents of aligning Ukraine toward the
European Union. In January 2014, this developed into deadly clashes in Independence Square and in other areas across Ukraine, as Ukrainian citizens confronted the
Berkut and other special police units.
[10] In February 2014, Ukraine appeared to be on the brink of
civil war, as violent clashes between protesters and special police forces led to many
deaths and injuries.
[11][12] On 21 February 2014, Yanukovych claimed that, after lengthy discussions, he had reached an agreement with the opposition.
[13] Later that day, however, he left the capital for
Kharkiv, saying his car was shot at as he left Kyiv, and travelling next to
Crimea, and eventually to exile in southern Russia.
[14]
On 22 February 2014, the
Ukrainian parliament voted to remove him from his post and schedule new elections on the grounds that he "has restrained himself from performing his constitutional duties" and effectively resigned,
[15] rather than by following the
impeachment process for criminal acts under Article 108 of the
Ukrainian constitution.
