In November 2013, a series of protests broke out in Ukraine due to the authorities’ decision to halt a policy aimed at integration with the EU. The unrest quickly took on a sharply anti-presidential and anti-government character. The protests eventually turned into a coup, leading to the ouster of then-President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014.
