Musk Resurfaces 2014 Video Linking US To Ukraine’s Political Crisis

Elon Musk has drawn fresh attention to the U.S. role in Ukraine’s 2014 leadership change by sharing a video of Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) admitting that U.S. policies played a role in removing Viktor Yanukovych from power. The resurfaced interview, originally posted by KanekoaTheGreat, sheds light on how American intervention helped push Ukraine toward the crisis it faces today.

Murphy stated in the interview that U.S. sanctions and political pressure were a significant factor in Yanukovych’s ouster. He described how U.S. officials, including members of the Senate and the State Department, were directly involved in Ukraine’s transition. His remarks reinforce concerns that Washington’s interference set the stage for the current war with Russia.

Beyond geopolitics, Murphy also acknowledged that Ukraine’s economic alignment with

Europe was a key motivation for U.S. involvement. He pointed out that deeper ties between Ukraine and the European Union could have financial benefits for the U.S., showing that Washington’s support was not just about democracy, but also economic gain.

Musk’s decision to highlight the video comes at a crucial time as President Donald Trump pushes for peace while facing opposition from the same Washington insiders who backed the 2014 intervention. Trump has called for a negotiated settlement, seeking to bring an end to the conflict rather than continue the cycle of funding foreign wars.

Murphy also admitted that Ukraine’s opposition included elements of radical nationalism, including groups with openly anti-Semitic and extremist views. While he downplayed their influence, his comments confirm that the U.S. was aware of these factions while backing the movement.

By resharing this video, Musk is bringing renewed attention to the role the U.S. played in setting Ukraine on a path to war. As Trump works to stabilize the region, the clip serves as a reminder of how reckless interventionism has led to global instability.
