- mopsi 2y agoUkrainian president was not "forcibly removed", but replaced through general elections by the people of Ukraine. Early elections are a standard attribute of most parliamentary democracies. 55% voted for Petro Poroshenko, who became the next president. His closest competitor got 13%. Turnout was 60%. This is the opposite of "illegal seizure of power by a small group", as coup is commonly defined.
