>but this is the business of the Ukraine and not Russia.
Well, it was also not the business of outside powers, EU and US for starters, who supported (including secret funds) the toppling of the legitimate Ukranian government.
Second, countries with active invasions/occupations far away from their borders, with no local population there, under false pretexes, and with 100 times the casualties and force, have so little moral high ground on this it's funny.
Financial support and the violation of territorial integrity are two very different things. As far as I can tell the financial support did not even come from other governments but NGOs and the like. It is also wrong to call it a minority, according to the numbers I have read it was more like 40% against the government and pro association agreement with the European Union, 40 % the other way around and the rest undecided with support for the movement dropping when things became violent.
And toppling a democratically elected government by its own people is completely okay when the government does no longer follow the will of the people. Admittedly it is not that straight forward in the case of the Ukraine with the opinion split almost fifty-fifty but at least it seems to be absolutely reasonable to me to demand reelections.
Your second point seems to assume that I am a US citizen and me being hypocrite. I am not a US citizen and I fully acknowledge that the USA has done worse things in the last decades. But that does not even matter at all - the misbehavior of other nations is no justification for the behavior of Russia.
