That is simply a fact. So your discussion above actually says the opposite of what is.
Basically the claim of the narrative is that the current government in Ukraine is legitimate because maidan represented the entire country. - Not fact
and
They said that Yanukovich left office. Also not true. He had a press conference before the vote specifying that he was not leaving office. There is no constitutional law that says because he packed things up; to avoid looting is just as likely , though even if it was to prepare in case he had to leave office that did not mean he left office until either he actually resigned or the proper impeachment procedure occurred.
and
That because there was a vote to replace him that makes it constitutional. The Party of regions and their families were threatened. A number had fled for their lives. And there is no constitutional basis for the vote they did.
Those are simply facts
