Upon greeting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland in Kiev this morning, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba congratulated Nuland on her appointment to her current position. “I’ve been through many things on Maidan, but the only big moment I missed was your cookies,” he told her. Nuland’s handing out of cookies to protestors during the violent Maidan protests has become a defining image of the US direction of the coup in 2014.
