It's frustrating as h### that these "pundits" are so clueless, but, that's why one should not depend on them too much. I'm no expert, but when the protests started making the news, I got curious, partially because of an old Ukranian friend of our family, back in my teen years. (He was a rather memorable character!) Anyway, I started doing some research, trying to keep an unbiased mind, and it was so facinating that it drew me in, and I spent many evenings looking further.
I'd recommend to anyone interested enough to post a comment that they at least get the basic historical background, if they don't already know it. It takes a few hours to study, but it's well worth it. I'll collect a few links and post them here, shortly.
As long as you're making suggestions on what to read it might be helpful to take a moment to read the official 1994 Budepest Memorandum in its entirety, the 2004 & 2010 Ukrainian Constitutions paying special attention to the clauses on elective process and impeachment, and then spend some time researching the status of forces agreement Russia has with Ukraine, and compare it to SOFAs the United States has entered into with many other countries around the world.
