That's not how democracy is defined in any theory I'm aware of. Especially since one of the regime changes occurred due to a coup in 2014.

I don't disagree that Ukraine, up until this recent development, had a system that is democratic in a similar way to western nations we label as democracies, but the logic you used is nonsense. Bullshit is bullshit
