There was no “Ukie junta”, because a junta is a dictatorial military takeover of a lawful government;

The definition of junta does not exclude a political power grab, besides which the Maidan radicals were armed and organized along military lines.

Far from restoring constitutional order the Ukie junta went out of its way to subvert it and if anyone is guilty of misusing police and military force internally, they are.

the Maidan radicals were armed and organized along military lines.

Don't forget, they were wearing helmets declared by Yanukovich to be illegal.

What a pack of miserable lies, with you trying to compare the highly vulnerable protestors to the heavily armed Berkut, OPLAT, and airborne military troops armed with armored infantry fighting vehicles, machine guns, and sniper rifles. Not to mention the improvised hand grenades where Berkut officers taped metal shrapnel to stun grenades to transform them into lethal hand grenades.
