yes and zelensky was elected as a moderate candidate from a different party than the one that did the "coup" to strike a balance between the pro-eu and pro-russia factions in ukraine and went out of his way not to antagonize russia. the "a-bloo-bloo-bloo we need to invade to save the heckin' good boi ethnic russian speakers from those friggin' banderite nato nazis!" narrative would have maybe made sense in 2014 (which is why they invaded crimea at the time) but it was years too late by 2022.
