You’re getting your facts confused. Zelenskyy won an election against Poroshenko. In 2019. No coup.
Poroshenko won an election after a period with an interim government.
The interim was needed after the Prime Minister resigned and after Yanukovych was legitimately sacked as President.
Yanokovych was sacked after committing high treason on 17th December 2013.
His act of high treason triggered Euromaidan and set off a civil war. Not content with that, he greenlit Russian annexation of Crimea and ordered his own troops not to interfere. Even though he knew the Russian takeover violated the Budapest Memorandum of 1993, and knew the Memorandum was the strongest guarantee of Ukraine’s independence from Moscow.
So, also not a coup.
He was the legitimately elected and internationally recognized leader of Ukraine who was overthrown in a violent coup, supported by outside nations, and an unelected oligarchy was installed.
Do you even hear yourself?
“Yanokovych was sacked after committing high treason on 17th December 2013.”
“Yanokovych was sacked after committing high treason on 17th December 2013.”
LOL, some of you people are really off your rocker, Yanukovych might have been a corrupt politician like all the rest of them over there, but at least he thought he was doing what was in the best interests of Ukraine. Besides the $2 billion in transit fees from that gas pipeline going through there, Ukraine was also receiving other perks from Russia like subsidized energy. Yanukovych was wise to play both sides being how Ukraine sits on Russia’s border. What does Ukraine get from cozying up with NATO? A destroyed country and a huge number of dead Ukrainians. And you think Yanukovych the bad guy and Zelensky the hero? Some of you folks are really just flat out delusional.
