Omg people.  The government of the Ukraine is not illegitimate.  The ex-president of the Ukraine was legally impeached following Ukraine's constitution.  

 

That is totally untrue.

How so?

No legal actions was against nim. He just flee the country because he afraid for his life.

I mean come on does anyone double-check the facts on anything they are about to say?

Yes, sadly you is one who don't check facts and fall to cheap propaganda. 

According to the Ukraine constitution there's no procedure of impichment of president. To change a constitution you need a Constitutional Court, which was disbanded by new 'authorities'. 

So currently it is impossible to impeach president in Ukraine legally. Voting in Rada was made under the gun barrels and with a men in masks with baseball bats which is not a very democratic procedure too.

So right now like it or not Yanukovich is still the only legal president of Ukraine, if you respect international law and Ukraine's constitution.
