12 years ago, Feb 18 into the early hours of Feb 19, security forces attempted to clear #IndependenceSquare, #Kyiv. They stormed the main #protest camp. 17 protesters and 5 riot police died

Dear "it was a Western plot" #vatnik morons: kindly go fuck yourself. Ukrainians did it. The will of the people. How do you live with yourself, so stupid, so weak?
#Yanukovych fled
9 days later, #Putin invaded #Crimea
My father-in-law and brothers-in-laws were there. My wife had joined them 9 years earlier at the Orange revolution protests, but by 2013 was living here in the UK. My nephew now fights for that same dream. #SlavaUkraini

"A research analyst with first-hand knowledge of the situation in Georgia, who was also a participant in the Maidan Uprising.. said that Ukraine's President Yanukovych had to tend to the wants of a number of Ukrainian oligarchs; whereas, in Georgia today, there is only one who enjoys a tight grip on the reigns of Government – businessman Ivanishvili"

🇺🇦 Що ви робили рівно 10 років тому❓ Час, коли Євромайдан увійшов в свою фінальну стадію, на Майдані гинули активісти, Янукович готував втечу
За цим всім я спостерігав з Бостона, де вчився на той час на магістерці по Фулбрайту. В Україні був на зимових канікулах до 16 січня – час мирного майдану

#Ukraine. #Maidan. #RevolutionOfDignity.
Incredibly amazing. A towering achievement.
Just like the defence of its freedom Ukraine is putting up.
We should all #StandWithUkraine!
Il 21 novembre l'Ucraina🇺🇦 festeggia il "Giorno della Dignità e della Libertà", quest'anno nel 10° Anniversario dell'#Euromaidan, una serie di manifestazioni filoeuropee iniziate tra il 21 e il 22 novembre 2013, in seguito alla decisione del governo di sospendere le trattative per un accordo di associazione tra Ucraina e Unione Europea.
Non so se in qualche altra parte del Mondo la #libertà è celebrata con la #dignità, ma credo che dovrebbe esserlo ovunque.

I ask this in English, but you can respond in Swedish if you want:
What standard work/well-researched historical book about the Euromaidan, the Russian annexation of Crimea and funding of the separatists in Donbas do you recommend? #Ukraine #russia #putin #donbas #revolutionofdignity #euromaidan
