1. There is zero proof of US involvement despite Russian yammering.

2. Ukraine disposed of the Quisling through parliamentary measures after over 100 protestors were killed.

Again, from Wikipedia:

On 21 February, President Yanukovych and parliament declared 22 and 23 February to be days of mourning “due to the loss of human life as a result of mass disturbances”.

On 22 February, Yanukovych could not be found, and parliament were not informed of his whereabouts. There were unconfirmed media reports that he had flown to Kharkiv (the governor of Kharkiv Oblast at the time, Mykhailo Dobkin, later said Yanukovych was in Kharkiv that day). It was announced that most of the ministers had disappeared, including Interior Minister Zakharchenko, who was reported to have fled to Belarus.

That day, parliament held an emergency session. The Chairman of parliament, Volodymyr Rybak, resigned that morning, citing illness. Parliament then elected Oleksandr Turchynov as Chairman. Under the 2004 Constitution, which parliament had voted to reinstate, the president’s powers would transfer to the Chairman if the president should resign or be unable to fulfill his duties. The former constitution had stated the president’s powers would transfer to the Prime Minister. The acting Prime Minister, Serhiy Arbuzov, was also missing.

In the afternoon, the Rada voted 328–0 (about 73% of the parliament’s 450 members) to remove Yanukovych from his post and to schedule an early presidential election for 25 May. The resolution stated that Yanukovych had withdrawn from fulfilling his constitutional duties, “which threatens the governance of the state, the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine”, and cited “circumstances of extreme urgency”. The resolution to remove Yanukovych was supported by all opposition parties: 86 deputies of Batkivshchyna (Fatherland Party), 41 deputies of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (UDAR), 36 deputies of Svoboda (Freedom Party), 30 deputies of the Communist Party, as well as 99 independents. Furthermore, 36 deputies of Yanukovych’s Party of Regions voted for his removal. There were no votes against. Of the remaining deputies, 115 were absent and 6 did not vote.[217] Parliament did not vote to impeach the president, which would have involved formally charging Yanukovych with a crime, a review of the charge by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, and a three-fourths majority vote in parliament—at least 338 votes in favor.[218]

Under the 2004 constitution, parliament Chairman Turchynov became acting president. Turchynov claimed that Yanukovych had agreed to resign as president and had recorded a resignation statement, but had changed his mind after consulting with advisers. Yanukovych said he would not resign or leave the country and called parliament’s decisions “illegal”. He added, “The events witnessed by our country and the whole world are an example of a coup d’état”, and compared them to the rise of the Nazi Party in 1930s Germany.
