    Is Ukraine allowed that?

      Legitimate national interests don’t include attacking ethnic minorities, which is a major cause of the current war dating back to the early 2010s.

      There’s also a question of what “national interest” means when the U.S. coups your elected government, as it did to Ukraine in 2014.

        Does there exist proof that it was a US coup?
