Well, it's democracy at stake. Doesn't it justify everything? Because if not, this example is not the biggest issue.

Anyway, a bit of hypocrisy doesn't hurt.

Would a democracy be practicing a genocide on its people for eight years and counting ? Would a democracy promote right wing extremism, much less arm them with heavy weaponry (eg 155mm shells and artillery)? Would a democracy embed such people and war criminals into its own military? To shoot its very own troops if they dared retreat from a suicidal order? Would a democracy shell a nuclear waste repository for days on end when this threatens a good portion of Europe with decades long lasting effects and a loss of major breadbasket region areas for agricultural production over these decades.

Tell me, what sort of democracy is this?

Would a democracy murder its own citizens and stage propaganda psyops to deceive the remainder of its population?

Would a democracy condone a project such as the below mentioned, and even be directly collaborate with its founder and members:

Chechen proverb (allegedly) "A man is not the one who knows how to fight, but the one who knows exactly who his enemy is".

As far as I can tell, to get back a democracy you need to do away with a junta first.
