FOCUS | Part II: Meet the Americans Who Put Together the Coup in Kiev

s the new US ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt was taking the measure of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych in September, Bill and Hillary Clinton visited historic Crimea. The region was still under Kiev's control, though the Russians held a long lease on bases in Sebastopol, where they keep their prized Black Sea Fleet.
