Putin then decided to stir up his agents in the Donbas including some of the other oligarchs on his payroll and invaded Crimea. When the Ukrainians recovered some the Donbas, pro-Ukrainian locals were found murdered in mass graves. More or less what we've also seen in this war. Putin and the Russians are scum and always have been.
You are propagandist rewriting history. Of course, there was a coup that threw out a democratically-elected President and installed radicals and neo-Nazis intent on committing genocide against ethnically Russian population. We backed it and it set off an eight-year civil war.
In Odessa, 39 people were forced into a trade union building and burned to death by neo-Nazis because they opposed the coup. In Mariupol, the Ukrainian nationalists killed seven police officers and burned the police station after the coup.
God damn you and lies to hell.
It was a coup, for you pretend otherwise means you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Yanukovych was a crook. I walked through his house in Kyiv. He had his own small zoo with African antelope that he would get one glass of milk from each day. He owned a piano signed by John Lennon. He had a heated outdoor trout pond.
The house was going to be set up as a monument to document the level of corruption by Yanukovych, but Ukraine’s government couldn’t afford it.
Calling his removal a coup is silly and malicious.
