Didn't the US assist in removing the democratically elected president in Ukraine in 2014 because he was cozying up to Russia?
Nope. Yanukovych was removed by his own government for being far too blatantly corrupt. I believe even Putin was on record as saying that he couldn't possibly go on as Ukranian leader. Poroshenko was voted in - and this voting included Eastern Ukrainian areas.
There is substantial evidence of Russia interfering in the US presidential election but this does not equate to Russia getting behind Trump. You don't hear too many claims of Russia being the sole reason why Trump got elected.
I can also dispel the nonsense about Ukraine & Nazis. From Jewish leadership in Ukraine itself:
