> 2014 coup ousted democratically elected president

..whose forces killed unarmed protestors, and who abandoned the country (after the forces under his chain of command killed protestors, so he can mostly thank himself and his goons for "fearing for his life", don't try that "argument" on me). After years of straying Ukraine away from democracy, after democratically elected parliament decided "enough is enough" and even broke ranks to oust him, you dare to speak about democracy?

Some people "disagreed"? They took up arms. Terrorists. I would say the same about the Euromaidan protestors who killed the police, had the police not killed first. Again pro-russians are the ones to escalate violence.

I already said what Minsk "agreement" is. A capitulation to Russia, not a just solution. Of course Ukraine would arm itself to reclaim its borders from the aggressor. You also missed a keyword here: _defensive_ war against Russia.

No. Foreign mercenaries killed the protestors. That's how revolutions are done, it's a ratchet event that doesn't allow the history to wind back.

Once there is blood spilled - full force ahead, no turning back.

Btw, you are forgetting that Ukranian police was torched by the protesters using molotov cocktails.

And that's weapons. According to your logic Police had the right to shoot, but they didn't.

They didn't because Yanukovich ordered not to shoot at the protesters.

You really need to do some reading pal.

Or try attacking police assuming you are in a USA - that will teach you a lesson about what happens in a real democracy when police is attacked. And I fully support such a response.
