The "coup" narrative is a myth. It's just talking point you read somewhere, thought it sounded nifty, and never thought to fact-check or question the logic behind.

In any case political events in independent countries are none of Russia's business.

You never thought for yourself it seems and just throw fact-check around. Janukowytsch was elected president of the country and was forcibly removed from that function. If you like him or not, it's by definition a coup.

This is also true for the US and the EU. Why do we fund movements to overthrow foreign governments? It's not even a secret that the US does this all the time. It even got their own name: color revolutions.

That's not what a coup d'état is. Check the definition please, and try again.

It's also not correct to say he was simply forcibly removed from that function.
