What democratically elected government did Ukraine overthrow?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (5 children)

first-time

Its own government, in 2014, with the help of the US.

Oh. So got couped. Is couped a word? It read like Ukraine was going around creating Freedom^TM^ for other countries.

Either way haven't heard much about this allged coup of Ukraine so I shall read those and make up my mind on it.

While you're at it - also read up on Ukraine's "Orange Revolution". Since gaining its independence, the only way Ukraine has managed to install pro-western governments is by revolutions and coups.
