There was no coup in Ukraine. The sitting president killed over 100 protestors and fled the country in face of jailtime. Ukraine's parliament unanimously voted to hold new elections, and the government that assembled as a result of the elections was recognized by everyone, even Russia.
- protomolecule 2y ago"There was no coup in Ukraine. The sitting president killed over 100 protestors" That "protest" looked like insurrection [0], if anyone had to be put in jail, it's the organizers: "The night before the clashes, Right Sector called on all of its members to ready themselves for a "peace offensive" on 18 February. <...> That morning, around 20,000 demonstrators marched on the parliament building as that body was set to consider opposition demands for a new constitution and government. Around 09:45, the demonstrators broke through the police barricade of several personnel-transport trucks near the building of the Central Officers' Club of Ukraine and pushed the cordon of police aside. The clashes started after some two dozen demonstrators moved a police vehicle blocking their path to parliament."
