For those who don’t know—it was this coup(called by some geopolitical analysts the most blatant coup in history) that started the conflict in Ukraine. Poroshenko won the election as the Russian friendly candidate. The Obama administration initiated the coup and they held a new election in which the regions of Ukraine heavily favoring Poroshenko were denied the right&ability to vote. This how Zelenskyy got elected. Then Kiev started putting out heavily anti Russian policies so these regions ended up voting for independence. Kiev not having it so they start shelling civilians & Russia goes in to protect them.
