[Regnum] The previous administration admitted that the United States invested $5 billion in organizing a coup d'etat in Ukraine. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

In 2014, Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland publicly stated that $5 billion had been spent on Ukraine since 1991. These funds, according to Nuland, were allocated to bring a “democratic” government to power in Ukraine.

"This is a state bloody anti-constitutional coup in Ukraine. What is this? This is also an action from a position of strength. The previous US administration said directly that it spent billions of dollars on this coup - without embarrassment, they said this publicly," the Russian leader was indignant.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, Victoria Nuland also indirectly admitted earlier that Kiev refused to conclude the Istanbul agreements with Moscow after consultations with Washington and London. It became obvious to the US that Russia's conditions were allegedly unfavorable for Ukraine, she added.
