Typical Russian lie. After the Yanukovich fled, there was a provisional government made up from people who were ALREADY in the Ukrainian parliament, which would serve only as an interim power until the elections, that were planned just in two months.

All of that led to war, millions of broken lives, thousands of deaths, just because of some fabricated TV fantasy. Because there is "Russian" population. You are defending military adventurism which reduced Donetsk, the city of major importance in Ukraine, to some lawless pseudo-soviet parody.
And again, US does not have business of being in Ukraine, neither does Russia. Do you really think that this stuff in Donbass really helped anyone? Where do you think it is better to live, in Russian-speaking Ukrainian Kharkov or in 'independent' Donetsk.
