Most of the members from the Party of Regions were ran off, and the remaining ones were threatened with imprisonment if they did not vote for impeachment.
This is not saying that Yakunivich was a good guy, far from it. Putin is also not a good guy either. But, I feel that Euromadien went too far here and would have gotten a much better deal if they would have went along with the proposal brokered by the EU to allow yakunivich to retain power until the election. The EU and US would have had observers on the ground, and Euromadien would have came to power legitimately. If done this way, the south and eastern regions would have abided with the results.
I agree. The democratic process should have been allowed to proceed in accordance with the law, and all those involved in subverting that process sidelined. Instead we have the United States government actively engaged in subverting the very principles it claims to champion.
