a "coup attempt" is any serious effort to forcibly seize part or all of the national government of Ukraine

examples:

• credible evidence of a coup plot alone would not count (fails the "serious" requirement)

• demonstrations calling for the government to resign would not count (fails the "forcible" requirement)

• the assassination of Zelensky, even by Ukrainian actors, would not count as a coup attempt unless paired with other actions that are typical of an effort to seize state power, e.g. capturing strategic buildings in Kyiv

• the forcible seizure of a sub-national government would not count (fails the "national" requirement)

• the Wagner rebellion, had it happened in Ukraine, would have counted
