The speaker discusses the US plan to expand NATO to Ukraine, despite Ukrainian opposition. Viktor Yanukovych's neutrality stance angers the US, leading to a crisis and coup in 2013. US involvement in the insurrection is evident, with senators openly supporting the demonstrators in Kiev. Victoria Nuland's actions, including distributing cookies, further highlight US interference in Ukraine.

Since Ukraine's independence in 1991, the United States has supported Ukrainians in building democratic skills and institutions, promoting civic participation, and good governance. These are preconditions for Ukraine to achieve its European aspirations. The U.S. has invested over $5 billion to assist Ukraine in these goals, which will ensure a secure, prosperous, and democratic Ukraine.

Victoria Nuland, the top US diplomat for Europe, had a phone call with US ambassador to Ukraine, Jeff Pyatt. They discussed getting Sari and Von Kymun to agree that Sari could come in Monday or Tuesday to help glue the situation with UN and EU assistance. Since 1991, the US has invested over $5 billion in Ukraine to build democratic skills and institutions, promote civic participation and good governance, and help Ukraine achieve its European aspirations. The US supports Ukrainian resistance, as protesters want closer ties to Europe, not Russia. The US's main interest has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, fearing their union could pose a threat. The US fears German technology and capital combined with Russian natural resources and manpower.

Victoria Nuland, the top US diplomat for Europe, had a fascinating phone call with US ambassador to Ukraine, Jeff Pyatt. Pyatt said that Sari and Von Kymun agreed that Sari could come in Monday or Tuesday to help glue the situation with the UN and the EU. The United States has invested over $5,000,000,000 since 1991 to assist Ukraine in building democratic skills and institutions, promoting civic participation and good governance, all preconditions for Ukraine to achieve its European aspirations. The US supports Ukrainian resistance, as protesters want closer ties to Europe, not Russia. The US's main interest has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united, they are the only force that could threaten the US. The US fears German technology and capital combined with Russian natural resources and manpower.

"United States continues to stand with Ukraine. And earlier this morning, I called Ukraine's acting defense minister to tell him that president Obama has approved additional nonlethal military assistance for health and welfare items and other supplies." "Pressure is mounting on US president Barack Obama to provide lethal aid to Ukraine's military." "Both the house and senate passed the Ukraine Freedom Support Act in late December, paving the way for March worth in lethal and nonlethal military assistance, a rare agreement in the usually divided congress." "The US is one step away from providing Ukraine with $350,000,000 worth of support after congress unanimously passed a bill late on Thursday." "As rockets are launched into the skies over Eastern Ukraine and shells hit apartment buildings in Donetsk, the human toll of the conflict is inescapable."

The opposition in Ukraine includes extremist groups like Svoboda, which has ties to Nazi Germany. The leader of Svoboda, Holitanybok, has openly targeted Jews and ethnic Russians. Despite being condemned by the EU, the US government backed these extremists, thinking they could control the situation. Victoria Nuland from the US State Department was caught on a leaked call discussing who they would put in power. They didn't think Klitschko should be part of the government.

Since 1991, the US has supported Ukraine in building democratic institutions and promoting civic participation and good governance. Over $5 billion has been invested to help Ukraine achieve its European aspirations for a secure, prosperous, and democratic future.

I believe our role, including sanctions and threats, partly forced Yanukovych from office. We've been very involved in supporting the new government in Ukraine. The clear US position has aided this regime change. If this is a peaceful transition, the US will be seen as a great friend. This is about supporting Ukraine in determining its future. While some see this as a US-Russia conflict, it's about supporting Ukraine's wishes. The US has an economic interest too. We're negotiating a trade agreement with Europe. With Ukraine potentially joining the EU, it could mean billions in economic opportunities for the US. We shouldn't hide this interest.

Speaker 1: We have not gone to war with Russia. Russia is isolated, more than five years ago, a regional power threatening neighbors, not out of strength but out of weakness. Ukraine had influence for decades since the Soviet breakup. We have considerable influence on our neighbors and generally don't need to invade to have cooperation. Russia's military action violates international law and signals less influence. They don't pose the number one national security threat to United States; I am concerned about a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan. Speaker 2: It is up to the Ukrainian people to decide how they organize themselves. The Ukrainian government is prepared to negotiate with Russia, and the international community supports a diplomatic process to de-escalate tensions, move Russian troops back from Ukraine's borders, and organize elections; the Ukrainian people will choose leadership. They will want a relationship with Europe and with Russia; this is not a zero-sum game.

We believe our sanctions and the threat of more sanctions played a role in Yanukovych leaving office. We've been actively involved in supporting the new government, and the US has been seen as a friend in helping this transition happen peacefully. This is about supporting Ukraine in determining its own future. While it might seem like a US versus Russia situation, it's about supporting Ukraine's wishes. The US also has an economic interest, as Ukraine's potential inclusion in the EU could greatly benefit our trade agreement with Europe. Yanukovych lost legitimacy by using force against peaceful protests. Foreign leaders were there to stand up for the right to protest. While some radical elements exist within the opposition, the movement largely rejects those ideas. We're confident the new government will be inclusive, and we'll work to ensure those radical elements don't dominate.

The conversation involves Victoria Nuland, a top US diplomat for Europe, and US ambassador to Ukraine, Jeff Pyatt. They discussed UN involvement to "glue" the situation, along with the EU. Since 1991, the US has invested over $5 billion in Ukraine to build democratic skills and institutions, promote civic participation and good governance, and help Ukraine achieve its European aspirations. The US is interested in Ukraine because protesters want closer ties to Europe, not Russia. The US has historically fought to prevent a relationship between Germany and Russia, fearing their combined power. The US fears German technology and capital combined with Russian natural resources and manpower.

Supporting Ukraine is crucial for us because they are fighting a war that we are not involved in. It is important to engage in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends as they share the same interest. Supporting Ukraine is a cost-effective measure to ensure that Russia, under its current regime, does not pose a threat to the NATO alliance. This support must be continued to safeguard our interests.

I believe our sanctions and threats played a role in Yanukovych's departure. We've been actively involved in Ukraine, and our clear stance has aided the change in regimes. If this transition is peaceful, the U.S. will be seen as a great friend. This is about supporting Ukraine's self-determination. While some see it as a U.S.-Russia struggle, it's about supporting Ukraine's wishes. We also have an economic interest, as Ukraine's potential inclusion in the EU could boost trade with the U.S. Yanukovych was elected, but he lost legitimacy by using force against peaceful protests. Our presence, like that of foreign ministers, was to defend human rights. While radical elements exist within the opposition, the movement largely rejects them. We'll work to ensure these elements don't dominate the new government.

We believe our sanctions and threats played a role in Yanukovych's removal. Now, we must support the new government. The US has been actively involved, with senators and State Department members present. Our clear stance has aided regime change. While some criticize our selective involvement, a peaceful transition in Ukraine will position the US as a key ally. This is about enabling Ukraine to determine its future. While it may seem like a US-Russia conflict, it's about supporting Ukraine's wishes. The US has an economic interest too as Ukraine potentially joining the EU could significantly benefit US trade. Yanukovych's use of force against peaceful protests is the reason we engaged. While radical elements exist within the opposition, the movement largely rejects them. We are confident the new government will be inclusive, and we'll ensure radical elements don't dominate.

Le pays le plus investi dans la nouvelle Ukraine est les États-Unis, avec Victoria Nuland comme architecte de l'influence américaine depuis 1993, spécialisée dans la contention de la Russie. Nuland, responsable pour l'Ukraine, a agi avec efficacité. On se demande si elle connaissait et a dissimulé la présence de néonazis chez les révolutionnaires ukrainiens. Les États-Unis souhaitaient un changement de régime à Kiev, qui n'aurait pas été possible sans l'extrême droite, malgré leur dangerosité. Cette information et le massacre d'Odessa ont été omis, car ils ne correspondaient pas à l'histoire simpliste de la révolution ukrainienne avec les gentils à l'ouest et les méchants à l'est. **English Translation:** The United States is the most invested country in the new Ukraine, with Victoria Nuland as the architect of American influence since 1993, specializing in containing Russia. Nuland, responsible for Ukraine, has acted effectively. It is questioned whether she knew about and concealed the presence of neo-Nazis among the Ukrainian revolutionaries. The United States wanted a regime change in Kyiv, which would not have been possible without the far right, despite their dangerousness. This information and the Odessa massacre were omitted because they did not fit the simplistic story of the Ukrainian revolution with the good guys in the west and the bad guys in the east.

Nuland suggested contacting Klitschko directly, while also mentioning involving the United Nations for a political solution. The audio of this conversation was notably clear. During a visit to Independence Square in Kiev in December, Nuland and Payatt distributed food to protesters and police. This incident is embarrassing for the U.S. and gives Russia grounds to claim that the opposition is being manipulated by Washington, a claim that Barack Obama has consistently denied. The clip reportedly surfaced online, allegedly posted by the Russian deputy PM, though this has not been confirmed.

We're discussing a phone call between Victoria Nuland, the top US diplomat for Europe, and the US ambassador to Ukraine, Jeff Pyatt. They talk about getting Sari to come in on Monday or Tuesday with the help of the UN and EU. The United States has supported Ukraine since its independence in 1991, investing over $5 billion to promote democracy, good governance, and civic participation. Americans support Ukrainian protesters who want closer ties to Europe. The United States has always been concerned about the alliance between Germany and Russia, as it poses a threat. The combination of German technology and capital with Russian resources and manpower has historically worried the US.

Ukraine is part of Eurasia, specifically Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Bloc, almost like Russia's Robin. The people in the streets are fighting for a better future, to modernize, liberalize, and become a democracy tied to the West instead of remaining a corrupt, authoritarian country tied to Russia. Putin offered a $15 billion bribe to maintain ties. The western, younger, more liberal parts of Ukraine took to the streets because they knew they had no future being Russia's vassal. America isn't overtly celebrating Ukraine's potential shift because we don't want Russia to intervene militarily. We want to distract Russia, like with the Olympics, rather than provoke a violent reaction. The longer this conflict goes on, the more NATO is strengthened, and arms deals are happening with NATO. Instead of de-escalation, there was an influx of money and weapons.

Victoria Nuland, the top US diplomat for Europe, had a phone call with the US ambassador to Ukraine, Jeff Pyatt. They discussed getting Seri and Ban Ki Moon to help "glue" things together with UN and EU assistance. Since 1991, the US has invested over $5 billion in Ukraine to build democratic skills and institutions, promote civic participation and good governance, and help Ukraine achieve its European aspirations. The US primordial interest has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, as united, they are the only force that could threaten the US. The US primordial fear is German technology and capital combined with Russian natural resources and manpower.

More clashes in Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, as it turns into a war zone. Questions of credibility arise after a leaked chat between top US diplomats discussing restructuring the Ukrainian government. The US government has a history of wanting regime change in various countries, and they have allies in the media and government to control the narrative. NATO has expanded into 13 countries, leading to concerns about the start of Cold War 2.0.

In February 2014, the US actively worked to overthrow Yanukovych. You can hear this in the phone call between Victoria Nuland and US Ambassador Peter Piatt. It's fascinating. In the call, I mentioned that Klitschko shouldn't be in the government, it's not necessary or a good idea. Yatseniuk is the right person because of his economic and governing experience. Also, "fuck the EU." We need to do something to make this situation better.

Aiding Ukraine is the most cost-effective way for the US to enhance its security as the Ukrainians are the ones fighting and dying. The US and Europe provide them with weapons to resist Putin. Having been to Kyiv twice, it is clear that Ukraine is a European country with a strong desire to align with the West. It would be astonishing if the US were to abandon Ukraine at this crucial time.

The discussion focuses on Victoria Nuland, the U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, and her significant role in the Ukraine conflict. Nuland is portrayed as a key figure who instigated the war by promoting U.S. interests in weakening Russia, drawing on her background and personal motivations tied to historical grievances. The narrative explores her career trajectory, connections to influential figures like her husband Robert Kagan, and her involvement in the 2014 Maidan Revolution. It suggests that her actions have led to the current state of corruption in Ukraine, which, in turn, has fueled the ongoing conflict with Russia. The speaker expresses concern over the potential for escalation and the broader implications of Nuland's influence on U.S. foreign policy and global stability.

In 2014, riots known as the rebellion occurred in Ukraine, but it was not widely known that the US was financing these riots. The riots led to a coup against Ukraine's democratically elected government, which refused to align with the West. A month before the coup, a secret call between Victoria Nuland, a high-level official in the State Department, and the US ambassador was recorded and made public. In the call, they discussed choosing a new cabinet for Ukraine, essentially picking a US-backed government before the old one was overthrown. This raises questions about democracy and the role of organizations like USAID and the CIA, which have a history of overthrowing governments, including democracies.
