Not true one bit and calling everyone who doesnt agree with you a "pro-russian extremist" does not help your poor arguement. OP your bias is very obvious here. The Svoboda Party is a white-supremacist neo-nazi group that is being backed by US senators. Svoboda party protestors have been photographed wearing SS arm bands and carrying riotshields with the cross of the Aryan Brotherhood painted on them. They are being given key roles in the post coup government like party leader Oleh Tyahnybok. I am not a pro-russian for being informed and not praising a coup government with obvious connections to racism.

Edit: to elaborate, I think actually EU and NATO troop involvement is critical instead of funding racist/extremist groups like this. That is what happened during Charlie Wilsons War, and now Afghanistan is run by the Taliban. This is what happened in the recent Egyptian revolution and now the country is heavily influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood. Providing aid to another party of hateful extremists may protect American interests but it can never lead to a more free Ukraine

Edit2: Ah reddit, the place were no unpopular opinion may see the light of day. Where everything must be UP or DOWN IE black and white. Do some research, obviously OP hasn't done enough and he is Ukrainian.

Are you aware that by Ukraine joining the EU, it would violate a NATO peace agreement made when the USSR was disbanded? Assuming Ukraine would also join NATO this would mean NATO military bases on Russian borders, which is exactly what NATO representatives said they would not do in '89 to strengthen peace with Russia.
