Justify the forcing of republics that are largely Russian to belong to a union that has been turned decidedly anti-Russian including with a coup and NGOs and intelligence activity. The "coup" theory you're referring to is nonsense. Nobody in Ukraine (nor anyone else who understand the actual event chronology, and just how marginal and insignificant the events you're referring to were) puts any stock in it. To many other cognitive distortions in your post for me to unpack. It's clear that your whole thought process is backwards -- starting from a moralistic position ("Western geopolitical elites bad; those who seem oppose what they want, good"), and building your "understanding" of recent history from that.
