Was I paid? And why didn't I receive the money?
You did not get paid, but U.S. spent over 5 billion dollars for "democracy" in ukraine which translates to influencing media and the public to stir them up against a leadership they want gone. Core elements were to make people believe the association agreement with the EU would benefit Ukranians neglecting the negative effects that lead to janukowytsch not signing it.
Things that were not part of the proposed agreement but were advertised to the people that were propagandized:
- ukraine becoming an EU full member (this was not ever part of the deal and not even the planning of them becoming eligible was part of it; while for other countriesmsuch agreements had the goal to make them full member in them)
- direct access to the EU market (the contract spoke of direct access only earliest 10 years after signing )
-ukrainians being able to work in the EU (this was explicitly excluded)
-removal of the need to get a Visa for ukranians (that was later enabled in 2017)
-ukranian products being competitive in the EU (early evaluations already predicted that only very few products would be competitive on the market and then on top remember that they would still suffer from tariffs)
Completely omitted in the pro EU propaganda was obviously that whatever positive outcomes might appear only in years after the deal, the russia reaction to it would be nearly instant.
I repeat: Ukraine's parliament remained the same. All state institutions continued to function as before. The President was abducted by the aggressor nation, Russia. New elections were held.
Could you then define what constitutes a coup? Perhaps I am misunderstanding the term?
So a few things to note: Victoria Nuland said in call to Geoffry Pyatt that Arseni Jazenjuk is the guy they want in charge. This is end of january 2014. Surely a coincidence that this guy becomes prime minister after what happenend next.
On the 20st of february sharpshooters shoot people from both opposing sides (to escalate and create chaos) from the roof of a hotel that was occupied by the maidan movement. There were even videos that showed some of the agitators stiring up people to run to places where they then could and will be shot at. Of course the instigators themselves stayed safe.
Then on 21st of february somebody removed all the police forces and guards that protected the government building AND private house of the family of Janukowytsch. Thats when he probably thought that he will be attacked by the angry mob with nobody protecting him. You have to take into account that over 100 people died the day before . I can imagine how quick selenzkej would run if he found all his security abandoned him.
