While mainstream media is running a propaganda Blitz on Ukraine, where they seem to frame it as “Russian aggression” against Ukrainians, Ukraine was already invaded 8 years ago. The movie Ukraine on Fire goes through the armed coup, planned at the US Embassy with then Under Secretary Victoria Nuland, where they picked the leaders, and the army and launched the country into an eight-year-long civil-war with the eastern regions of Ukraine.
