I watched that video. No he wasn't. He said that the two snipers shot three police. His job was to provoke the police into shooting protestors.
5 minutes in the photographer said he saw 2 men inside the building with guns and when he walked outside he saw more armed men, some were lying on the ground and others were taking up positions behind pillars on the 2nd floor. Sounds like 8-10 snipers.
Sergei, the sniper being interviewed said the Maidan security people were asking for shooters, he could shoot. He said he was shooting at protesters and cops, and when he did shoot at the cops they retreated. He and another man continued shooting for 20 minutes until other men came and took him away. He said there was a stash of weapons kept over night in the post office under the control of protesters.

they had shotguns too, more wounded for the cause
Late night conspiracy theory: this war was arranged by military tech companies in order to use up old Soviet era weaponry in the Eastern Europe and as a showroom and testing ground for various MANPADS and shoulder-fired anti-tank launchers.
Ukraine was a shipping point for weapons pouring into Syria to arm terrorists
Ukrainian Nazis spent 8 years lying in a FISA court to spy on Russia
Thats quite a track record for the lesser evil, but you left out a few other war crimes, Libya, Syria and Yemen come to mind.
You keep repeating this to see who bites. Let's have a go.
Neo-Nazis have spent years harassing and attacking people in the States, and you've actively argued against their existence because they're not "real" in your eyes. Or that they're so few they can't make the impact people are claiming they are. So excuse me for finding it difficult to believe that your concern here is genuine
You're moving your own goalposts, from never existed to they cant make the impact. They make an impact on the people they hurt or kill. I just found out we've been arming them to kill people in Ukraine, if you knew all along and didn't care, thats on you. If you're just finding out like me, why dont you care now? Cause and effect, we caused this. We caused 9/11. Madeleine Albright said a half million dead children were worth the sanctions on Iraq.
You are welcome to share evidence of those victims. No talk-show videos. Had Ukraine been intent on "genocide against Russians" they had 8 years to do it on the territory they controlled, where millions of Russians continue to live.

I didn't say Ukraine is intent on genocide, they sent Nazis to attack ethnic Russians in the east for not supporting their dignified revolution. An actual genocide would embarrass the west but I do suspect a gradual ethnic replacement via intimidation campaign to drive out the undesirables is a Nazi goal. The Russians intervened, thats what stopped the Nazis.
Not only that, but the genocided Russians seemingly were so happy to be "liberated" that by savior-Russians, they threw down the Russian flag in occupied villages and raised the Ukrainian one. That's Russian gratitude for you.
Where did Russians go when Ukraine attacked the Donbas region? I'll bet a bunch ran for Russia.
