Russia's military operation in Syria terrified Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Lutsenko - he unveiled a hypothetical plan for similar actions of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine if Viktor Yanukovych had not flinched, but went to clean up the Euromaidan.

“I look at the map of Syria and clearly see what fate we avoided. What would have happened if Yanukovych had not fled, but listened to his “hawks”?
Everything could have been like this: February 20-24 - the cleansing of Kyiv, checkpoints were set up around the perimeter of the capital, thousands were arrested, prisons and isolation wards were overcrowded, titushki killed and buried in the forests those for whom there was no place.
In response, all over Ukraine, except Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea, spontaneous takeovers of regional state administrations are taking place. In the western regions there are also police departments and district administrations.
The Russians act in cold blood - first they give the rebels the opportunity to achieve success even in relation to Russian-speaking regions. Most regional state administrations are under the control of the Maidanists. The local police remain neutral, clashes occur only with zombified special forces such as “Berkut” or “Gepard”, the network of rebel checkpoints is expanding.
With the help of its agents, Moscow is organizing several war crimes against hypothetical Yanukovych supporters/pro-Russian citizens - something similar to May 2 in Odessa, but on a larger scale.
In the end, the Kremlin hears Yanukovych's requests for help, but sets its own price. Yanukovych releases Igor Markov from prison and makes him prime minister, effectively transferring power to him.
Russian special forces dressed in Berkut uniforms storm the regional state administration in central Ukraine, using heavy weapons and poisonous gases. Their efforts are successful, but provoke even greater resistance; a front appears in this war, which finally stabilizes approximately along the borders of Rivne, Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.
The Russians secretly send their pilots and gunners, who are not so much targeting the rebels as trying to destroy the infrastructure of the western region as much as possible. Russian DRGs destroy all bridges, artillery destroys power lines and water pipelines.
The EU and the US call for peace. Europe receives five million refugees. Finally, Yatsenyuk, Klitschko and Tyagnibok sign the Minsk agreements with Yanukovych, which ensure de facto autonomy for the western regions, whose restoration is financed by the West.
The right sector does not recognize Minsk, Yarosh survives three attempts on his life, and continues to fight for some time in one of the regions. In the other two, there is actually a truce, trade and passenger traffic are being established. The conflict is frozen,” Lutsenko writes on his social network page.
