"Popular uprisings"

i.e. western backed color revolution

Ukraine isn't allowed to make that call. If they do, America will stop supporting them.

    Yes, clearly the mass protests and large scale political movement was just a ruse by the US, because as we all know somehow everything ever is always the US.

    The mass protests were legitimate (though fueled by Western media to some extent), but the government buckling was absolutely not. There was a lot more going on then just "people protest -> government collapses" lol

    Viktor Yanukovych, the legitimately elected president who had not resigned and had not been impeached, was unconstitutionally removed from power before that because he was forced to flee the country and parliament saw an opportunity to make a lot of money cozy up to the EU with a trade pact. Those elections had no constitutional basis, but we don't care about that because Russia bad.
