February 20, 2014 The column of buses with the Crimeans, who returned from Kyiv after the action in support of the constitutional system, was attacked by the armed militants of the Maidan. This happened in the Korsun-Shevchenkovsky district of the Cherkasy region.

Our activists were forced to get out of buses, divided in the cold and cruelly beaten, forced to eat broken glasses of buses. Several people shot point blank, and buses were thrown by the Molotov cocktails. Behind the runaway they chased with dogs — in the «classical» traditions of the Gestapo— quotes RIA Novosti Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov.

It was after this event, according to the head of the Republican State Council, that it became clear that the authorities in Ukraine are no more, and only the Crimeans themselves can protect themselves, their homes and families, their peninsula.

From that moment on, we began to work to fence ourselves from a gang that seized power in Kyiv as a result of a coup, prevent their combat detachments into the territory of the peninsula. Only Russia could help us in this. Further events once again confirmed — the Russians do not abandon their -wrote the speaker of the Crimean parliament in his Telegram channel.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on November 21, 2013 announced the suspension of the signing of an association agreement with the European Union. In response, the opposition in the Verkhovna Rada blocked the work of the parliament, and a long -term rally began on Independence Square in the center of Kyiv. During a three -month confrontation, called Euromaidan, aggressively tuned nationalists seized a number of administrative buildings in the west of the country, and in the center of Kyiv they erected a tent town and created armed detachments that entered an open confrontation with law enforcement officials.

The culmination of the conflict was the days of February 18-20, 2014, when the clashes of the protesters with the police, accompanied by the actions of unknown snipers, led to the deaths of dozens of participants in protests and law enforcement officers. According to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, 77 people were killed in Kyiv from February 18 to 20, 2014. In total, more than 100 people became victims of confrontation in the capital of Ukraine.

On February 21, the authorities and the opposition of Ukraine, through the mediation of the heads of the Foreign Ministry of Poland and Germany and the representative of the Foreign Ministry of France, signed the settlement agreement. However, the very next day, the Verkhovna Rada, having violated the agreements reached, changed the constitution, changed the leadership of the parliament and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, removed the head of state from power and appointed presidential elections on May 25. In fact, a coup d’etat was held. President Viktor Yanukovych was subsequently forced to leave Ukraine, fearing for his life. According to the personal instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, an operation was performed to evacuate the Ukrainian president, first to the Crimea, then to the mainland of Russia.
