The claim is a faithful paraphrase of the passage's statement that Maidan occurred 10 years after the 2004 Orange Revolution. Sources date the Maidan/Euromaidan uprising to November 2013 to February 2014, which is roughly a decade after 2004, and one source explicitly describes the EuroMaidan as occurring 10 years later.
What was said
… I have many, many books out on this topic. So, back in 2004, when the first Orange Revolution happened, I got this flurry of activity then, 10 years later, when Maidan occurred, and then since 2022, when I went away my first day of my honeymoon, the war broke out, which didn't surprise me.

Supports. The Orange Revolution took place in 2004, and the Maidan/Euromaidan protests that toppled Yanukovych took place in 2013-2014, as stated in the UConn and Barron's accounts.[2][3]
Supports. A Kyiv Post op-ed compares the two movements and explicitly says the EuroMaidan came '10 years later' than the 2004 Orange Revolution.[4]
Supports. DW describes the 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2014 Revolution of Dignity as separate pro-democracy protests, which places Maidan about a decade after 2004.[5]
Context. The Maidan protests began in November 2013 and the decisive violence and ouster came in February 2014, so the gap is roughly 9-10 years depending on the start or end date used; the approximation falls within normal rounding.[1][3][5]
