Correct me if I am missing something. |
Sure, I'll correct you.
- He didn't. He said they will work on agreement on Euro-integration to make it profitable for Ukraine (the initial version was just a death sentence to a whole Ukrainian economics).
- It was a peaceful protest while Ukrainian national radicals have taken it under their control and started the violence.
- As far as I know there was no official procedure of impeachment.
- True.
- They were Ukrainian citizens only since 1991. Before then they were citizens of Soviet Socialistic Ukrainian Republic as a part of USSR. The majority of Crimea citizens still consider themselves Russian and want a full autonomy to the Crimea as they had it in 1991-1992. There will be a democratic referendum on that. BTW, the new "government" in Kiev has already notified that it will not accept the results of any referendums (yes these guys are so democratic).
