While you may not like it, the present government in Ukraine was legally elected, which is more that can be said about the Putin regime and his two puppet governments in Donbas.
____________
The real reason of Putin’s attack is actually just the opposite what the trolls and propagandists are trying to tell.
After long time of suffering and corruption, caused mostly by the Communists and Russians, Ukraine was finally making it.
It was getting too free, prosperous and independent for Russian tastes.
Ukraine was a completely failed state from any view. 30-45% unemployment, top corruption in the world - listed as top 3 for almost a decade, worst infrastructure ever, art museums and churches filled with overt antisemitism, crackdowns on media and kidnapping and killing dissenting journalists that made Russia look like a kindergarten. top Pandora papers rating,
Romney, Biden, Pelosi, and Kerry all have kids or friends who served on Ukrainian energy boards for huge fortunes.
Ukraine today is a giant money laundering operation for our esteemed politicians. /s
