Yanukovych was a representative of the Donbas oligarchs closely aligned with Putin. When he vetoed the EU accession bill approved by Ukraine's parliament and tried to substitute one with Russia, thousands of Ukrainians revolted. They were helped by many Western NGOs and some by the US embassy, but it was a genuine popular movement, apart from the Donbas. Yanukovych arrested the previous President. He also severely weakened Ukraine's military on Putin's behalf.

He was Putin's chosen puppet, just as Biden is our Deep State chosen puppet. If tens of thousands had shown up on Jan 6 and refused to leave the Capitol as the Ukrainians did on Maidan, we'd be a lot better off today.

The guy was democratically elected; there are procedures in place to change the course of democratically-elected governments. (A coup isn't one of them.)

What you call a "genuine popular movement" can easily be dismissed by a skeptic as nothing more than a rent-a-mob paid to do the bidding of the globalists. (Yours is simply a talking point, which means it really comes down to who can cover their ears and shout the loudest for a longer period of time.)

And I think you're terribly naïve to think that a large enough crowd at the Capitol for a long enough period of time was going to change anything that day. They wanted the Orange Man out, and they threw away any pretense of a legitimate election to have their way. And the same "press" who provided favorable images of the mob pushing the coup in Ukraine would have turned against the mob at the Capitol; they've been doing it until this very day.
