Like it or not, Yanukovych was elected through, legal and democratic means with support of the majority in Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk and other oblasts in eastern Ukraine. Those people were disenfranchised by the coup. The Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis that took over PERSECUTED AND MURDERED ethnic Russians after the coup.
If you find any of that acceptable as well the war crimes being committed by the Ukrainian military in this war, YOU ARE EVIL You can your neocon buddies that support all this can burn in hell.
This war is conclusion of an eight-year civil war that OUR interference started. WE are responsible for everything taking place.
CONNECTING THE DOTS...
After a long series of protests of his rejection of his prior Ukrainian-European Association Agreement the Euromaidan protests started because Ukrainian citizens demanded stronger integration with the European Union.
***The EUROMAIDAN began in Independence Square on 21 November, THE SAME DAY Yanukovych abruptly changed his mind for an Association Agreement with the European Union AFTER RECEIVING A LOAN FROM PUTIN! YANUKOVVCH THEN decided to strengthen economic ties with Russia.***
When the sovereign nation of Ukraine chose to join NATO PUTIN WAS ENRAGED! How dare Ukraine attempt to dissolve his dreams to restore the Russian empire!
On 20 FEBRUARY 2014, PUTIN INVADED UKRAINE TO SALVAGE HIS LOST INFLUENCE IN UKRAINE! This invasion of Ukraine was ENTIRELY PUTIN’S DECISION. Encouraged by Russian troops & politicians, pro-Russia separatist rebels began to seize territory in eastern Ukraine.
INTERESTINGLY, also on 21 February 2014, Yanukovych claimed he had reached an agreement with the opposition. SECRETLY, YANUKOVVCH RAN AWAY FROM THE CAPITOL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO MOSCOW!
THEN ON 22 FEBRUARY 2014, the Ukrainian parliament VOTED to remove YANUKOVVCH from his post and schedule new elections on the grounds that he “has restrained himself from performing his constitutional duties” and effectively resigned.
Fighting between the Ukrainian Donbas rebels and the Ukrainian military intensified. In August, when these rebels started losing the Russian army NOW overtly invaded eastern Ukraine to support the rebels & take-over Crimea. This illegitimate action resulting in a 2014 Crimean referendum that is regarded as illegal internationally because the whole of Ukraine is required to vote with both options on the ballot to result in a separation from Ukraine.
