Kyiv experiences Black Friday – Liberation

On November 21, Ukraine celebrated the anniversary of “Maidan”. Twelve years ago, participants in the Revolution of Dignity and Freedom defended their country’s right to move towards Europe, to which Russia responded with military aggression. In 2025, on the same day, Kyiv is experiencing a very dark period. Constant power outages, corruption scandals involving government officials, the advance of Russian troops on the front lines.

It was at this highly vulnerable moment that the United States chose to present a 28-point “peace plan” created with Russia that called for Ukraine to reduce its military presence, withdrawing from the entire region.
