Why the Ukrainians threw Yanukovych out and don't want another Russian puppet, ever

Yanukovych is said to have stolen in the upper tens of billions, mostly through the corruption at Ukrainian oil and gas companies, most notably Burisma, a company that put Hunter Biden on the board as a signal that Russian corruption would no longer be tolerated.

Here's a stroll through his pleasure palace, something I find overdone and my standards were formed by the pleasure palaces, er summer cottages, of the Robber Barons in Newport. Just the car collection goes on and on and on and on...



So now we know why there is a war, Putin and Yanukovych (in exile in Russia) want their favorite money maker back. I imagine Yanukovych is the originator of the Nazi fiction and Putin's cupidity prevents him from seeing how foolish it makes him look.

@WendySiegelman
"Bernie Sucher was Director of JKX Oil 2016-2017, where longest serving Director (1997-2016) was Raymond Asquith who is on supervisory council of Dmitry Firtash's Group DF"

This is from 2019 Wendy Siegelman exposing who' who.

The ties also make their way to Andrew Yang (Tulsi support?) & of course Paul Manafort & Tad Devine's special kind of electioneering for Putin's guy, Yanukovich.

All roads of the overthrow of our US govt really DO lead to Russia! And their biggest prize, Oil resources & wealth.
That Big Resource Prize couldn't be grabbed with the US & NATO breathing down their neck.

So team Manafort was commissioned to repeat with Trump, what had been done in Ukraine with Yanokovich.
Yanukovich was a ner do well drunk, loyal to Putin, so team Manafort dressed him up, re-imaged his reputation & pumped cash into convincing the voters that he was an righteous upstanding guy, "fighting for you"
The media promo campaign for Yanukovich set the method for seating of Donald Trump in 2016.
Team Manafort simply moved their electioneering operation into the US, in time for the campaign kickoff.

Here's more from Siegelman 2019. She talks of Sucher, Firtash, Oil & Andrew Yang's money ties.
It's pretty interesting, now looking back & knowing what our Media never ever brought up.
