(60,172 posts)It is just as wrong to assume that this was a coup when the known facts suggest that it wasn't. The point that it identified as the coup is when the pro Russian president left.
However consider the situation at that moment. There was an agreement signed by the president that increased their ties to europe. Ask yourself who was unhappy at that point. At that point both the US and Europe were actually pleased with the deal.
On the other hand, the president was in a horrible position. Russia was unhappy with the agreement he signed and his corruption had been outed. Many corrupt oligarchs were also unhappy.
What we know is the president left the government and that led to complete chaos. Then consider who used that chaos noting they were also unhappy with the status quo. It is easier to use known facts to conjecture that russia intentionally destabilized ukraine because they were against the agreement
