Yanukovich wasn't a shill. was trying to extort a better deal out of Putin by approaching the EU for terms. He was the democratically elected leader, And he was removed by American propaganda inciting a color revolution. Ukraine will never control the 4 oblasts again. Oreshnik can't be intercepted

The claim about Viktor Yanukovych is misleading but mixed with partial facts. While he was democratically elected in 2010, his removal happened after protests against corruption and abuse of power. The claims that Ukraine will never regain control of four oblasts and that Oreshnik can't be intercepted are unsupported by any credible evidence. According to BBC, Yanukovych stopped an EU deal because of economic pressure, which explains why people started protesting. Additionally, the claims about Ukraine never regaining territory and missiles being uninterceptable are opinions and not actually verifiable. Overall, this post is misleading and false.

False
