Instead of becoming the framework for a peaceful transition of power, the Agreement on settlement of political crisis in Ukraine ultimately untied the hands of the opposition and allowed them to capture government buildings without resistance, forcing the legitimate then-President Yanukovych out of country.
The Maidan turmoil in Ukraine began in late November 2013 with protests against President Viktor Yanukovych for postponing the signing of an agreement on association with the EU. It grew violent and saw the president flee the country in February 2014, with Ukraine's government being replaced by Western-backed figures. The Maidan threw Ukraine into turmoil and unleashed the war in Donbass.
