What coup? Yanukovich was removed by the democratically-elected Ukrainian Parliament in a floor vote after he fled the country. Ukrainians are the ones who did all of this. What do you think the US did? I know what Russia did, starting here:
Still waiting for a description of US involvement from someone
They cannot admit maidan was an US coup because their entire narrative of the war hinges on this.
They would get reprimanded by their superior officer for admitting it. They probably have a list on their cubicle wall of what they are and are not allowed to say.
The Nuland call where they discuss who their pick for the leader of Ukraine is, and the operations they are undertaking to put them into power.
You’re a fucking moron. Willingly ignorant, or purposefully cruel. 5 minutes of research could answer your question.
But researching doesn’t allow them to write ridiculous comments online about stuff they have no idea about
Curious they removed him when the choices he was making were beneficial for Ukraine and prevented the other countries in the west from exerting more influence on Ukraine. Almost like the west didn’t like Ukraine going their own path and decided to replace him with their puppet, the clown, Zelensky.
The choice Yanukovich made was in direct contradiction with what the democratically-elected Ukrainian Parliament had been "overwhelmingly" working toward. You think Yanukovich unilaterally scrapping that work, ignoring the will of the Ukrainian people, and reorienting toward Russia was beneficial, so how was it beneficial?
Ignoring the will of the Ukrainian people, ha! He did not step down to turn his whole country into a colony of the empire and was punished for it
So your argument is "Ha!"?
You still haven't said anything about how the US was involved in Euromaidan
US funded the Euromaidan protests.

The larger point is that you have to be a gullible idiot or malicious NATO shill to not presume that regime change on Russia's doorstep just happens organically without American involvement. USA's footprint in all of Europe since WW2 has been massive and the ones who don't see it are usually the ones too busy licking the boot.
Now go troll some other instance.
It wouldn't have led to a massively destructive war, for a start.
I can't go into a Pizza Hut without being upsold garlic bread. Of course Russia pressured Ukraine to accept deals in it's favour.
Do you think Russia was the only one putting pressure on Ukraine to sign an agreement? Forget about all the rest of it for a minute: do you really think the US and EU abstain from making any attempts to 'encourage' others to sign their agreements?
The NATO alliance turned prosperous Libya to rubble for the mere suggestion that it would start trading in is own currency.
(PS Don't worry everyone, I don't really go to pizza hut! The local pizza place has compromising photos of me and the one that pizza hut has of me shitting on a certain famous portrait just doesn't scare me as much. Release it, I tell them, you can't scare me into buying a salad bowl.)
