Original Note:
False. Yanukovych provoked protests through his own actions by refusing to sign an EU association agreement he had promised for years. When he failed to quell protests by violently cracking down on protesters, he fled to Russia. Russia then invaded Crimea and the Donbas. https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/coup-in-ukraine-in-2014 https://www.polygraph.info/a/ukrainian-maidan-was-not-a-coup/6741774.html https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2014/11/21/russias-igor-strelkov-i-am-responsible-for-war-in-eastern-ukraine-a41598
