2/3 It was only *after* the mob threw out the deal that Yanukovych, fearing for his life, fled (as anyone in his position would have done. The mob then did *not* follow the Ukrainian constitution, and lawlessly removed him from office. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 This version that Yanukovych 'fled *after* we (the UIS) had brokered a deal' is very slippery language. Deal was brokered by 3 EU foreign ministers,not the US. Ukrainian opposition leaders Klitschko,Tyagnybok,Yatsenyuk, dumped the deal after the mob leaders rejected it. — PolitiTweet.org

3/3 The key fact (quite clear from Richard Sakwa's account in 'Frontline Ukraine) is that the mob didn't want a peaceful deal with early elections in which they could have removed Yanukovych through the ballot box. My guess is that they were far from sure they would win any vote. — PolitiTweet.org
