Yanukovych remains

Here is an alternate history timeline where the Euromaidan revolution fails in and Yanukovych remains in power until today:
2013:
* In November 2013, protests erupt in Kiev over Yanukovych's decision to suspend talks on an association agreement with the European Union. However, unlike in our timeline, the protests are met with a heavy crackdown by the government, and do not gain momentum.
* Yanukovych successfully navigates the political crisis, and is able to maintain his grip on power in Ukraine.
2014:
* Without the Euromaidan revolution, there is no regime change in Ukraine, and Yanukovych continues his pro-Russian policies.
* In March 2014, Russia annexes Crimea, but unlike in our timeline, there is no international condemnation or sanctions against Russia. Yanukovych, who is seen as sympathetic to Russia, is able to maintain his position of power.
* The conflict in Eastern Ukraine between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists never escalates to the same extent as in our timeline, as Yanukovych does not seek to align Ukraine with the West or join NATO.
2015-2019:
* Yanukovych's presidency becomes increasingly authoritarian, with dissenters and political opponents jailed or exiled. Civil society and freedom of the press are severely curtailed.
* Ukraine's economy continues to struggle, and Yanukovych relies heavily on financial support from Russia to keep the country afloat.
* Meanwhile, the European Union and the United States impose limited sanctions on Ukraine, but they have little impact on Yanukovych's regime.
2020-2022:
* Yanukovych faces increasing pressure from Russia to formalize a closer alliance between the two countries, including the possibility of joining the Eurasian Economic Union. However, Yanukovych hesitates, recognizing that such a move would further isolate Ukraine from the West and could provoke a stronger response from the international community.
* In 2022, Yanukovych is unexpectedly ousted in a palace coup by a group of military officials who have grown disenchanted with his corrupt rule and his perceived lack of loyalty to Russia. The military junta that takes over is more openly pro-Russian, and quickly aligns Ukraine more closely with Moscow.
* The international response to the coup is muted, as many Western countries are still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and are reluctant to get involved in another conflict.
* As of 2023, Ukraine remains deeply divided, with many Ukrainians opposed to the military junta's alignment with Russia, but unable to mount an effective opposition. The conflict in Eastern Ukraine continues, but at a lower intensity than in our timeline, and with less international attention. Yanukovych remains in exile, and is widely seen as a figurehead for the pro-Russian opposition to the junta.
