Oh, well now it's crystal clear, why didn't you just say that earlier...only minor detail left is to define levels of shitheadness. At what level of shitheadness should Article 111 (UA Impeachment) should be enacted (if ever) and at which you can just wipe your ass with the constitution because US cookies showed up on the streets? Yep, sounds like a totally legit democracy.

Yanukovich fled along with some members of his government. Rada passed a law declaring him unable to fulfill his duties and set a date to elect his replacement.

Impeachment is essentially a trial for a crime. Yanik would have been eligible for this process if he didn't run away. He could also veto the law if he didn't run away. He basically resigned by running away and abdicating his duties.

There are similar processes in other countries, whether explicitly in the law or implicitly via other tools (e.g. the ability of the legislative branch to set election dates). For example in the US there is an impeachment process and there is a separate process in the 25th amendment to remove an incapacitated president.

I'm sure you know all this, but if the story about Ukrainians being cookie addicts who elected a new Rada years before the 2014 events to orchestrate a cookie coup makes you feel better - carry on Grin
