Майдан обещал другое? Что теперь говорят украинцы. #украина #россия #новости

Overview

The speaker argues that events before and after Ukraine’s 2014 Maidan were driven more by manipulation and external/organized influence than by the genuine aspirations of ordinary people. They claim the Maidan message—moving toward Europe—was marketed as a “fairy tale,” and that Ukrainians pursuing European integration ultimately faced harsh realities, including war.

Core Claims

1) “Maidan promised Europe, but Europe delivered worse.”

A Ukrainian refugee living in Slovakia (previously in Germany) is cited as saying she appreciates her host country but rejects the idea that the EU is truly better than Ukraine was. She argues that Europe never lived up to its promises.

2) The West, not only the EU, is portrayed as deceiving Ukraine

The speaker contends that Western actors—including the U.S.—participated in promises and manipulation. In this framing, Ukraine was “taken in and deceived.”

3) Criticism of Zelensky and the “Kyiv regime” amid disaster

The video includes accusations that, during shelling, casualties, and front-line failures, Ukrainian leadership and Western visitors respond with inappropriate joking or denial. It references meetings in Kyiv involving Western officials and alleges contempt-like behavior by an entourage.

4) Women’s mobilization framed as EU pressure toward forced conscription

The speaker claims EU officials are pushing Ukraine toward compulsory military service for women. They cite Israel as a model and mention practical steps such as:

• tenders for women’s winter uniforms
• planning to address manpower shortages

5) Maidan participation described as paid/organized rather than purely voluntary

The speaker argues that people were not mobilized solely by conviction, but through orchestrated funding and direction. They accuse political actors of using the population as expendable labor (“soldiers,” “battalions,” “buses”) while others avoid risk.

6) Internal Ukrainian conflict highlighted through escape accounts

Another cited Ukrainian who left for Belarus claims that Ukrainians there respond aggressively to dissenters. The speaker uses this as evidence that Ukrainian society is fractured and hostile toward disagreement.

7) Responsibility for the war framed as lying with Ukraine, not Russia

The video repeats allegations that Ukraine provoked the conflict for years, including references to Donbass resistance and claimed Ukrainian shelling. It further argues that Russia was “dragged” into Ukraine due to Ukrainian actions and alleged violations of prior agreements.

8) Claims of propaganda and victimhood

The speaker asserts that Ukrainians portray themselves as victims while overlooking violence they caused or enabled. They call this a pattern of sustained lying.

Closing Message (Conclusion)

The speaker frames the current situation as the “logical” outcome of deception and moral corruption. They predict worsening consequences for Ukraine and urge viewers to consider their own responsibility.
