a coup, by definition, is “a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government.” Yanukovych was removed after losing the confidence of both the people and his party through legal processes already afforded to the Ukrainian legislature.

The Ukrainian legislature then voted to remove him
At which point an election was held and a new president was elected
