“The Feb 21 agreement called for reforms to the Ukrainian constitution be completed before the presidential elections were held, and what the Ukie junta delivered was a hasty presidential election without constitutional reforms.”

There was no “Ukie junta”, because a junta is a dictatorial military takeover of a lawful government; and the Ukraine was an instance of the lawfully elected members of parliament restoring the constitutional rule of law which Yankovych and his supporters had unlawfully overthrown to assume dictatorial powers with the unlawful use of armed force by the police, riot-police, and some limited military force. You are just spreading more disinformation and Russian false propaganda.

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.
