Lmao what?

What nations are allowed to have their own interests, and act to secure those interests? Is that something only for the U.S. and (when the U.S. allows it) its allies? Or is it possible that some countries have legitimate interests that conflict with the U.S.?

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?

I don't know, why don't you ask the Americans who replaced their government for them?
