You're very correct, it's a pity that this took place and it is a shame that Western media does not report it, as any independent nonpartisan media should do. I pointed it out many times on 22 Febr. already on various websites, but usually got only angry reactions as if I was supporting this kleptocrat. Obviously, by now Yanukovich is also illegal, as he has asked foreign country for military intervention, which may qualify as high treason, but this in no way invalidates that the new government in Ukraine took power illegally (which is one of its many blunders).
