NSDC secretary: Russian plan failed, Ukraine to preserve its territorial integrity
Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Secretary Andriy Parubiy has said he believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin has set the world against himself and will find himself in international isolation.
“I’m confident that the plan drafted by the Russian Federation has already failed, and I’m confident that we can preserve the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our country. The whole world has currently sided with Ukraine and, in fact, Putin, who prepared a brilliant victory over Ukraine, will currently find himself in complete international isolation,” he told reporters in parliament on Monday.

“He was impeached and removed. He has no standing.”
Correct- as I recall the vote against him in the Ukrainian parliament was 300-0 to impeach him.
So it’s not like a mob just forced him out of office- it was a unanimous vote of parliament.
So he’s asking for Russian military be sent into Ukraine proper, and not just used to secure Crimea. Interesting.
He was not impeached under the Ukrainian Constitution. There are very limited grounds for impeachment, and a trial must be held, and the Ukrainian Constitutional Court has to review it.

That has such a nice ring to it, wish the American people were singing that tune.
So was Zelaya (Honduras) but Obama strongly backed him.
