Original Note:
This is a recurring Kremlin disinformation narrative. There was no coup in 2014. Yanukovych reneged on promises to sign an EU association agreement. He fled to Russia when he couldn't quell protests by force. There was no war in Donbas until Russia invaded in 2014. https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/putin-launched-the-special-military-operation-in-ukraine-to-protect-the-russian-populations-of-donbas https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2014/11/21/russias-igor-strelkov-i-am-responsible-for-war-in-eastern-ukraine-a41598 https://www.oecd.org/ukraine-hub/policy-responses/disinformation-and-russia-s-war-of-aggression-against-ukraine-37186bde/ https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/rmwest-started-the-ukraine-conflict-by-staging-the-2014-euromaidan-coup
