The Covert Operation to Back Ukrainian Independence that Haunts the CIA
...
The main body of Ukrainian insurgents, and in particular the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, had already been linked directly to Nazi atrocities in the region. “They were Nazis, pure and simple,” one CIA operations chief said. “Worse than that, because a lot of them did the Nazis’ dirty work for them.”

https://news.yahoo.com/covert-operation-back-ukrainian-independence-083000650.htmlLooks like it's not the first time around, CIA operation Red Sox, US sponsors Ukrainians who weren't just Nazis but did Nazis' "dirty work".

Stepan Bandera. Naturally there's
Stepana Bandery Avenue 50.488572, 30.512898 in the center of Kyiv, recently named in 2016. If that doesn't say Ukraine is ready for EU i don't know what will. I guess the enemy of my enemy logic...

This is fine, right!?!?
In other news,
Janet Yellen confirmed it’s unlikely the US will allow Russia to continue making bond payments on its foreign-currency debt

I'm not sure if USD can be militarized anymore than this, so they decided to totally kill USD as a global reserve currency, how much of the US debt do they expect China to buy up after such antics? US cannot run on balanced budget especially now, so Yellen will need to force EU (Germany/France) to start propping up USD at the cost of EUR. USD/EUR parity incoming.
