This has nothing to do with Ukraine's government. It's happening in countries that Ukrainian refugees are fleeing to. While many people are happy to be a host out of charity, others are using the opportunity to victimize women again. Such sexual exploitation is frequently the case in war and refugee crises, so sadly it is no surprise that Russia's war of aggression is producing the same result.
It's mixed responsibility. It's ultimately mostly the fault of the people trying to exploit them. At the same time, the instigating event was Russia waging war on Ukraine. It's the same idea as putting some of the blame for the civilian casualties due to insurgent activity on the United States for that invasion. The country that put these women in a vulnerable position is partially at fault.
The US was not responsible for 2014. It was somewhat involved in trying to get the government working again in the aftermath, but what happened was driven by Ukrainians.
Victoria Nuland was a Russian who paid $5B out of Kremlin's pocket, checkmate! - least fascist liberal
I take it you're referencing that leaked call that totally doesn't say anything about a coup except by an extraordinarily bad faith reading of it?
