This hasn't been about "pro-EU protests" for a long time now. There were these protests, end of November 2013, they were brutally attacked and made illegal, and then the really big protests began, against the police brutality and the corrupt regime.
The anti-protest laws were made (they didn't even bother to count the votes) 1.5 months into that. To suggest they were created to allow signing the treaty means you're very lost indeed.
- viach 13y agoOk, so it's not about these laws anymore? Lets take them back then? And why these protests began in 2014 (not 1 or 2 years before), occasionally before signing papers with EU and exactly in pre-new-year period?
- PavlovsCat 13y agoBecause that violent dispersal of peaceful protests (pro EU treaty) were the straw that broke the camels back, and from then on one thing lead to another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromaidan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromaidan
