Probably because this event isn't entirely positive...

When people fight for their rights and freedoms and overthrow a corrupt dictator, it's always a positive thing. And when it happens without bloodshed, such an event is priceless. If you want to feel what's really going on there, turn off the damn TV and watch the live broadcast from Maidan. There's a festive atmosphere, people are having fun and helping each other to persevere until the end. I am with the Ukrainian people with all my heart and I deeply sympathize with them. I hope everything ends well and that this will serve as an example for Russia, and we will finally get out of this swamp.

Regarding the riots and provocations, all of this is organized by the current government to discredit the event and present it on TV as an attempt at an aggressive coup. This is a well-worn tactic used by Putin, and it was also used on May 6 and at all our protest rallies.

Titushki - Wikipedia

The bulldozer used to storm the area was brought there by the "Berkut" themselves

Among the "Titushki" in Kyiv, fighters from the internal troops from Crimea were identified

In 2011, in Moscow, those who were still in their cradles or thereabouts in 1991 were the ones who caused the most trouble.

People who go to rallies are always a tiny fraction of the total number of people who agree with the protesters. Some were busy and didn't come, some thought it was pointless to come out, some were afraid. As a result, for every 100,000 citizens who are inclined to protest, only one actually comes out (considering the entire population of the country). And the more authoritarian the regime in the country, the greater this ratio. In Ukraine, one and a half million people came out. This means that almost the entire population of the country is against the current government. Therefore, calling the people at Maidan a "bunch of rioting idiots" is the same as calling the entire population of Ukraine that.
