Like it or not, the reality is that regions in the East of Ukraine were very much on record as supporting Yakunovych, and closer relations with Russia, for decades. There's only one reason the Minsk agreements fell through, and it's because they did not want to give eastern regions autonomous votes.

If the other half of your country coup'd your president, half-outlawed your language and ignored the political will of your half of the country, you might have a right to be upset and label that suppression.
