    Then why do people feel the need to defend Russia?

    Pointing out the defence of something unrelated isn’t Whataboutism

          even though everyone knows that’s not true

          Source: it is known

          There are relatively few comments in the thread talking about Russia at all, and calling the Euromaidan a US coup is not Russia apologism, it’s literally discussion about US+Ukraine.
