If they don't agree with something they should hold elections or referendum. Hell, just march on Kiev and overthrow the new government if enough people support them. The thing is, they are a tiny minority and the majority of eastern ukrainian people don't support them. Putin and his russian KGB are inciting revolts there on purpose.

At least you said "If i'm not mistaken" but you are:
1.People in Kiev were vandalizing city for months and were armed with firearms and took government buildings and attacked police with deadly force (guns, snipers,molotovs)
2. Separatist group is asking for a referendum about federalisation. I guess that if a lie is repeated enough times, then it will become true.
3. Months of violence and destruction in Kiev,and yet, police were unarmed until last few days and Janukovich never called army ,airplanes,helicopters...all that what new nazi government is doing in just matter of days, but yet, somehow, Janukovic was bad guy.
4. Speaking about corruption is really stupid if you have Timoshenko on side of new, non corrupted authorities. It is not about any government,it is about mentality of nation.
5. There is no revolution that is spontaneous,on so large scale. Of course Russians have own influence on people in eastern Ukraine, in the same way "west" have it Kiev.
Regarding statement that it is unacceptable to take chunk of territores , why then it was acceptable in Yugoslavia, and when Army did the same,it was agression and terror?
Also,what abut Kosovo? It was much,much worse situation with years of muslim terrorism (kidnapping, ambushes,diversions..), but when army responded, it was unacceptable and Yugoslavia was attacked by NATO (avoiding UN what was the moment when complete international law system went down,over night)
Simplfied: looking for any moral explanation ( or by law) after all this is impossible mission for anyone with average intelligence.
