The "Digital Maidan" hashtag campaign is described as a coordinated effort to propel Ukrainian anti-government sentiment to the top of global Twitter trends. Protesters in Kiev's Independence Square are using virtual "sieges" to lobby international leaders for sanctions against the Ukrainian authorities. The hosts compare this to previous social media-driven conflicts in Georgia.
Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland was filmed handing out sandwiches to protesters in Kiev, an act the hosts interpret as overt US interference in Ukrainian internal affairs. The Euromaidan protests began after the government halted European integration efforts. Meanwhile, China recently invested $8 billion in Ukrainian infrastructure, including railways, to keep the nation from joining the European Union.
