More simple: Russia minded president was thrown away; there weren't that much or any degotiations about semi-autonomous or such (by either side). Russia invaded and annexed Crimea. Russia backed and probably provoked rebels took over in parts of Eastern Ukraine.
Russia this and that is quite clear, as Crimea is now officially part of Russia, and the rebels can't continue shit without Russia's support.
