There needs to be official international forensics to determine who exactly killed the demonstrators in the Maidan. We need the truth regarding the murders. No one is accusing the new leaders, but, the snipers have to be determined to bring about sincere justice to the victims and their families.
Estonia should not be intimidated and cover up any of the information that might exist. The validity of Estonia's statements is important.
The current government has standing by a large majority vote of the existing Rada. The investigation to the killings is not grounds to dissolve a legitimately placed interim government. There are upcoming elections in May.
At this point there is so much evidence to the corruption by Yanukovych and his desire to dissolve the sovereignty of the Ukraine his removal is more than justified by the Rada.

Estonia (click here) has confirmed the authenticity of a leaked telephone call between its foreign minister and an EU chief which suggested the sniper killings in Ukraine last month were ordered by the new coalition.
The 11-minute call between the EU's foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and her Estonian counterpart Urmas Paet was made on February 25 in the aftermath of the massacre.
During the call, Paet claims a doctor told him both protesters and police were shot by snipers during clashes in Kiev allegedly on the orders of the opposition.
But while the Baltic state acknowledged the audio was genuine, it denied that it had blamed opponents of Ukraine's deposed president for sniper killings during last month's unrest....
Aflame: Protesters were set on fire as they ran through burning barricades to avoid the sniper fire
It is a very stark reality as to what occurred with the demonstrators. It was a very violent attack. There also existed snipers in Kiev for over 24 hours after these attacks. When the sniping in Kiev stopped, the appearance of militias started to appear in the Crimea and then
Donetsk province where Yanukovych was once Governor. These militias are not any part of the national military. Russia calls them defense forces, but, they should not be legitimizing their presence in the country. Quite the contrary, Russia should be asking for their disarmament. To state these are defense forces assails the sovereignty of the Ukraine.
