Kinda? Not as much as the west portrays, and again, they installed a far-right group.
Can we be more specific? Who did? Again, not disputing, but would like to understand.
Edit: also your alternative link did work. I will look into it further.
The US, EU, etc. had supported Banderite groups, of which there are a large number. The newly installed government, under Poroshenko, included Right Sector and Svoboda (far-right groups). Poroshenko began cozying up to the west, instated "decommunization," and suppressed the Russian language.
