The Western leaders didn't predict either the influence of the ultra-nationalists of the Right Sector, or the willingness of Russia to protect their interests. |

There were plenty of reasons for revolution without the need for provocation.
It's been no secret the Ukraine was about to default hard. Meanwhile, the president was skimming off the top pretty heavily.
