There was no coup, just one bad decision by Yanukovych after another. No need for you to try and overcomplicate a rather simple situation.

These bad decisions sealed his own fate, he knew it, it’s why planned an escape to Russia where he remained since.

Yanukovych gave up his presidency and fled Ukraine to avoid facing the consequences of those bad decisions.

Yanukovych brutally cracks down on small student protests sparking even larger protests

Yanukovych introduces ridicules anti protest laws, fails to stem protests

Yanukovych unleashed more violence including the use of hired thugs and results in over 100 protestors murdered

Yanukovych plans his escape, wants his trip east to “look like” an official trip

Yanukovych makes deal for early elections with opposition

Yanukovych begins his pre planned escape the same night as the deal was made

Yanukovych has his 1st escape attempt out of Ukraine blocked by border guards

The following day Yanukovych remains uncontactable and refuse to give his whereabouts

Rada declares he has abandoned his duties, vote to remove

New elections held as agreed mere months after Yanukovych abandoned the presidency and fled to Russia to elect new Ukrainian president (the ultimate vote by the people)

Yanukovych had every chance to remain in Ukraine, he has had every chance to return to Ukraine, he has done neither and remains in Russia where he initially escaped to

One point in this list that occurs AFTER Yanukovych abandoned his presidency and starts his escape to Russia is immaterial to prove a coup.

He did not want to leave, but he got persuaded Ailo. Stop with a regurgitated nonsense.

"If I was [President Yanukovych], I would try and flee the country,” said one protester in Lviv, where hundreds had gathered in the wake of the deal’s signing. “Otherwise, he’ll end up like [Muammar] Gaddafi or with a life sentence or the electric chair. He will not leave the country alive.”
