Essentially, he's saying for Putin to be to blame, he has to be the one who organized the events on Maidan. Which no one is saying. Putin himself was a secondary character throughout Maidan. According to Parry, absent that preposterous situation, Putin's blameless and "the West" is to blame.

The question about the integrity of Ukraine's borders began when Putin invaded Crimea. Period. That's when this current crisis began. Had Putin never invaded Crimea, Ukraine would simply not be in this situation.

Pretty blatant Putin apology on behalf of Robert Parry here.
