No Lucky, only pro Kremlin propagandists promoting Kremlin lies and propaganda claim there was a coup." saw a violent overthrow of the government..."Yanukovych’s Decisions and Actions: His decisions, including the violent crackdown on peaceful protests and the subsequent abandonment of his post, played a crucial role in the crisis. By fleeing, he forfeited the legitimacy of his presidency and created a power vacuum. The Rada’s actions were a response to his abandonment of duties and the urgent need for stable governance.There was no coup: Instead, it was driven by widespread public protests against government actions and policies, reflecting a collective demand for change. The Euromaidan protests involved millions of citizens expressing their grievances against corruption and authoritarianism, not just a small group of armed individuals."carried out by the armed far right thugs..."
Allegation of Armed Far-Right Thugs: While far-right groups were present during the protests, they did not represent the majority of the movement. The protests were largely composed of diverse groups, including students, civil activists, and regular citizens. The claim that these groups had control or orchestrated the government's downfall is an oversimplification of a complex situation involving many participants."who openly stated that they would kill the legitimate president if he did not leave Kiev."
Threats to Kill Yanukovych: Although there were threats and incidents of violence, these did not constitute the official framework for Yanukovych's removal. The parliamentary vote to dismiss him was conducted amidst escalating unrest but was rooted in his own failure to govern effectively and his decision to abandon the capital."but to say that the change of the government was Constitutional, is beyond pathetic."
Constitutionality of the Transition: The Rada acted within the constitutional framework by voting to remove Yanukovych. Article 111 of the Ukrainian Constitution allows for the removal of a president if they are unable to fulfill their duties. Yanukovych's flight from Kyiv and abandonment of his role during a national crisis were seen as an abdication of responsibilities.
International Recognition of Elections: Following Yanukovych’s removal, new elections were held in May 2014, which were recognized as free and fair by international observers. This further supports the legitimacy of the transition and counters claims of a coup.
Historical Context: The protests and subsequent removal of Yanukovych can be seen as part of a broader struggle for democracy in Ukraine, reflecting public dissatisfaction with a corrupt regime. The actions taken during this period were motivated by a desire for reform and accountability, not a simple power grab."The whole world knows it was a coup."There was no coup: The evidence supports the argument that Yanukovych's removal was a response to his actions and failures, and not an illegitimate coup. The transition was marked by significant public support for democratic processes, despite the violence that characterized parts of the protests which was a result primarily of police brutality and not violence from protestors.
There was no coup.
