I somehow missed your comment back then!

So no, I don't think change of government in either Ukraine or - hopefully - in Belarus can be described as a "coup", which historically described sudden and unexpected capture of power by an internal power group, with support from outside or without.

In neither country it's sudden or unexpected, in both it follows a decades long popular discontent and attempts by opposition to get share of power by democratic means.
