Again...The freely elected reps in the Rada impeached Yanukovich. Yanuk fled before he could be removed. The Rada then voted on an interim replacement and they voted to hold freely held elections in May.
Those are the facts, none of which were in your summary.
Why?

Good question. I too would like an answer.
Yes, of course - and the months of violent rioting, thousands of Molotov cocktails, torching of government buildings and killing of policemen were just yuts celebrating a Superbowl win.
The Ukrainian Parliament (after impeaching Yanukovich) just CHANGED the Ukrainian Constitution, installed their own interim president and took over all powers of the administration. Maybe there might be a vote in a few months...
None of this they had the legitimate power to do.
If this happened in America - we would be calling it what? Imagine if the republicans in congress did just this to obama. Yeah, you might be happy with the outcome (this time) but it would not be a constitutional or legitimate government
When America fosters and supports this kind of nonsense - don't be surprised if others copy it and throw it back in our faces.
