Interesting you’d say that given that it’s pretty well documented in western media https://archive.ph/BAxYc
@yogthos this is literally how democracies work. If the government fucks up people go to the streets.
@yogthos we had a revolution in 2004 after the government tried to fake elections. It was called Maidan. Right after the revolution won we had open democratic elections with international oversight. That’s not a coup. Same happened in 2013, when another government tried to force us into Russia. We had hundreds of thousands of people on the streets fighting for freedom, and then democratic elections. That is NOT a coup.
@yogthos #democracy is within the blood of #Ukraine. We had democratically elected governments in 17th century. And we in fact have the oldest constitution in Europe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Pylyp_Orlyk
If you think Ukraine has democracy, I don’t know what else to tell you. Last I checked Ukraine has been described as the most corrupt nation in Europe, the government banned opposition parties, prosecutes journalist, and has recently cancelled elections.
@yogthos a coup is a sudden violent change of government, often by a small group of people. In both of our revolutions we had hundreds of thousands of people in peaceful protest on the streets. In 2004 all went peacefully. In 2013 the police started shooting and the president ran away to Russia. He’s still there by the way, asking us to give up to Putin. Great guy.
A democratically elected government was violently overthrown in 2014 by a small group of violent nationalists. Interesting how you spin this as some kind of a revolution.
