26. If by "it" you mean the false Reuters report

which was discussed in the thread you linked to, I fail to see the connection.

So, in another attempt to deflect from the OP you now cite "louisproyect.org", whoever that is. I've searched this site for articles on Bandera fascism in Ukraine, which the owner seems keen to belittle, and stumbled across this hilarious tidbit in an article on Stephen F. Cohen:

Ever since the crisis in the Ukraine broke out, Stephen F. Cohen has been campaigning on behalf of a Kremlin that he warns is being unfairly demonized by the West as part of an effort to start a new Cold War. Some of his arguments can only be described as ludicrous. For example: “That the Ukraine crisis was instigated by the West’s attempt, last November, to smuggle the former Soviet republic into NATO.” In fact, despite the millions of words to this effect from the pro-Putin left, this is what the new foreign minister stated on March 29th: ...

Never mind what the new foreign minister stated at the time, I wonder whether it was to spite the "pro-Putin" left - or maybe "Louis Proyect"? - when the Ukrainian parliament finally decided to take the predicted course ...

The Parliament, firmly controlled by a pro-Western majority, voted overwhelmingly, 303 to 8, to rescind a policy of “nonalignment” and to instead pursue closer military and strategic ties with the West. ...

The revised law, which was a priority of President Petro O. Poroshenko, requires Ukraine to “deepen cooperation with NATO in order to achieve the criteria required for membership in this organization.”
