Why is the topic a bad thing for Ukraine? It occurred when Yanukovych was in office. You guys seemed ok with it then. Why does this action catch your attention but not the other?
I truly am sorry for the people of Ukraine. United States intelligence services attempted another takeover of a country and left it in chaos....It has happened dozens of times to dozens of different countries (think South America).
This is simply what western black ops leave in their wake.
The president was elected and that election was accepted by Putin and Russia so im not sure where your coming from on the legitimate issue.

the thing about ukraine is that russia want to continue the genocide of ukranians , complete an unfinished job, the ukrainians being not caucasians like russians many have black eyes and descendents of ancient greeks, turks etc
“We can say with confidence that this intention reveals a wish to avoid responsibility for the troubles and misfortunes that were brought upon the people of Ukraine with his help, for the crimes that were committed by the authorities,” Irina Yarovaya, Chair of the State Duma (lower house of the Russian parliament) Security Committee, told ITAR-TASS.
In her opinion, “the crimes that were committed over this time with Yatsenyuk’s direct participation are appalling”.

Since 1991, Russia provided $200 Billion of subsidies to Ukraine. That does not show an attempt to commit genocide.
No country has given so much financial aid to any other in the last 25 years. 1 to 2 million Ukrainians work in Russia alone.
What did Russia get in return? Backstabs, Thankless attitude and outirght genocide of Russians in the East.
Btw, how much money did Kiev Junta get from US or EU since coming to power? ZIPPO !!!!!!!!!
Ukraine’s coalition collapsed after two parties quit during a months-long pro-Russian insurgency in the nation’s east that downed a Malaysian Air jet last week.
Lumping everyone into a single box because you do not care for them does not work.
I will also add I am guilty of violating that point also. Something I will strive to correct.

ITAR-TASS is simply not objective when it comes to the Ukrainian issue. Sorry. I'd stop quoting them - AlJazeera is more objective on Palestinian issues.
Here's how Russian State propaganda aimed at English readers works:
Just look at this article you quoted a page back:
Russian territory shelled
The title says
Russian territory shelled from Ukraine 9 times in past months
Woo. We're scared now. The title implies Russia is directly being attacked by Ukraine.
This is followed by a large photo of a soldier looking at some hole in the ground in the corner of some field.
The caption of the photo reads:
Member of the investigating committee near a shell crater after shelling from Ukrainian territory hit the small Russian city of Donetsk
Great. So Donetsk is suddenly a Russian city? Is it in the territory of the Russian Federation? Well, they don't expicitly say that, but either I don't understand English or they are damn sure implying that.
Now look at the title again:
Russian territory shelled from Ukraine 9 times in past months
So Donetsk is not in Ukraine.
If basic logic applies, the title and the picture starting the article together suggest that
1. Donetsk is not in Ukraine - it is shelled "from the Ukraine" - if Ukraine is elsewhere, Donetsk is logically not part of the Ukraine;
2. Donetsk is Russian (no one argues there is a sizeable ethnic Russian population there, but something else is implied here);
3. If the Ukrainian government shells Donetsk, it is attacking Russian territory (i.e. the territory of the present Russian Federation).
