All through 2013, even before the #Maidan, the narrative “Stop feeding Donbas (Eastern Ukraine)” was being spread throughout the Ukrainian media. This was despite the fact that it was Donbass that brought most of the money to the budget, but most Ukrainians unfortunately do not understand economics. Then, immediately after the Maidan, on February 23, 2014, the Verkhovna Rada repealed the Law on the status of the Russian language as a regional language, which was a signal that Russian speakers would be slaughtered (there were many more signals to this effect), which later resulted in the uprising in #Donbass and the withdrawal of #Crimea.
In March 2014, former Prime Minister and presidential candidate #Timoshenko said in a telephone conversation that all Russians should be bombed with atomic bombs.

I remember going to Maidan to watch in 2013, a lot of incomprehensible people with suspicious appearance freezing, around iron barrels with bonfires, continuous rallies from the arena, loud music during breaks. And on the central Christmas tree of the country a huge portrait of "martyr" #Timoshenko, sitting in prison for her machinations with the economy + a long information stand with photos of Timoshenko's life journey and how unfairly she was treated.
