Ukraine, like the United States and every other independent nation, has the sovereign right to join economic alliances and sign diplomatic/military treaties that are in its best interests. The current government of Ukraine, elected by the people of Ukraine in nationwide elections, is recognized as legal and legitimate by every nation in the world including Russia. The people of Ukraine overwhelmingly elected executive and legislative officials who would fulfill the broken promise of former president Viktor Yanukovych to turn the country westward and integrate with the European community. The people of Ukraine voted this path with clear knowledge of the hardships involved and in the midst of significant economic and military pressures applied by the Russian Federation.

Regarding Yanukovych, an investigation published (January 3, 2015) by the New York Times reveals that he could no longer continue as president because his security forces, his cabinet, his political party, and his majority parliament all deserted him between the night of February 20 and the morning of February 22. The Maidan opposition and the European Prime Ministers present in Kyiv were all astonished at the news that Yanukovych had fled the city. Yanukovych could not even find succor in the eastern Ukraine Russian-speaking city of Kharkiv and hurriedly fled across the border into the Russian Federation where he remains to this day. It is also worth noting that Yanukovych has not been invited by rebels to visit the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.
