And all because of a coup....several months before a true democratic election.
They tried to escape a very intelligent, very ruthless, dictator and are failing. A very sad reminder that in real life evil can triumph over good. I will pray for Ukraine.
Given that Yanukovich did away with freedom of speech and freedom of assembly while setting himself up as dictator-for-life, I would call it a revolt that reversed his coup.
Nobody’s buying any Moscow spin on this any more.
Without the heavily Russian Crimea, an antagonized Western and Central Ukraine will easily go anti-Russian next election. Eastern Ukraine will probably be suffer paid Kremlin agitprop until they start breaking away.
