    Why did Putin say in May 2014 that the Ukrainian snap election then 'was a step in the right direction' and Russia would respect the outcome of the elections in Ukraine and was ready to work with whoever won the presidency ?
    Why do you continue to refuse to acknowledge the election then and those subsequent ?
    Is it because they take all the wind out of your sails in connection with your boringly repetitive and unsubstantiated 'Coup' claims ?
