Original Note:
By definition, a coup d’etat is when members of a country’s political elite, most often military officers, seize power by force. This did not happen in Kyiv in 2014. Yanukovych provoked protests through his own actions by refusing to sign an EU agreement, he had promised. https://www.polygraph.info/a/ukrainian-maidan-was-not-a-coup/6741774.html
