Excerpt from link:
Appearing on Democracy Now!, Cohen addressed this weekends hastily convened referendum on self-rule in Eastern Ukraine, calling it no more or less legal than the government in Kiev, which seized power in February. Cohen condemned the US response to attacks by Ukrainian troops in the Eastern cities of Mariupol and Odessa, where dozens of pro-Russian protesters were killed in a fire two weeks ago. What did the US government say? Cohen asked, Did it say we regret the loss of life? Did it say, there should be an investigation? No. It said, Kiev has the right to restore law and order. If a war crime was committed in Eastern Ukraine, warns Cohen, we applauded it.
Not only did we provide financial support for the Odessa massacre....we paid Ukrainian media who covered it up.
