Everybody in this thread is aware that 95% of Ukraine just wants the violence to stop? Correct?
Everybody is talking like this is Ukraine wide...it's not. It's (relatively speaking) very small numbers making a very big mess.
For the majority of Ukraine's populations sake, it would be cool if Russia and the West stopped the proxy BS for a bit.

and invoking the words of a man who died in 1812 does what, exactly?

Actually what that article demonstrates is the failure of the government of Bosnia, not the IMF.
If the Bosnian government knew what they were doing, it might not have needed IMF loans to start with.
back to Ukraine -
If the Ukraine government lawfully removed the PM, why is it an issue?

A former Israeli army officer is playing a leading role in the anti-government protests in Ukraine, PressTV has reported.
According to reports, the unnamed Israeli is commanding a group of 20 Ukrainian militants while four other Israelis, who had also previously served in the army, are reported to have taken part in opposition rallies in Ukraine's capital, Kiev.
The Israelis were born in Ukraine but migrated to Israel and joined its armed forces before returning to the European country for the demonstrations.
Ukrainian media has also said that an Israeli tycoon provides financial support to the opposition in Ukraine, adding that Israel's Mossad intelligence agency is one of the instigators of the unrest in the country.
Despite calls by Jewish leaders to remain neutral, young Jews have been on the front lines of protests against Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich, the Jerusalem Post wrote last December.
Alexandra Oleynikova, a young Jewish activist involved in organizing Limmud conferences, told the Post that while some Jews stayed away out of fear, other young Ukrainian Jews who work for international organizations such as JDC, Hillel and Limmud are "really active" in offering support as well as "organizing the barricades".

If Bosnia is not worth anything why is the IMF making funds available to them? The IMF cant force a loan.

To an extent I agree.
To add more though, I think it also a proxy between what Russia wants to reinstate and the west's determination to prevent a second cold war.
If Ukraine wishes to align itself with Russia, that's up to the Ukrainian people, and same goes for alignment to the EU / West. If the government of Ukraine lawfully removed the PM, whats the issue?
Kalashnikov-wielding activists from Ukraine's radical nationalist opposition group, Right Sector, have pledged to resort to arms in their fight against those involved in "lawlessness" and looting, saying they will shoot to restore "order and discipline."
"I warn you, if anyone in this town, this area, engages in 'lawlessness' and looting, Right Sector squads will shoot the bastards on the spot. Then there will be order and discipline," one of the radical nationalist opposition group leaders, Aleksandr Muzychko, said on Friday.
On February 21, when Berkut police officers arrived in the western Ukrainian town of Rovno from Kiev, Muzychko said that if he met them on a battlefield, his hand "would not tremble."
"I would shoot," the Right Sector leader declared in Rovno, where his supporters have already equipped themselves with Kalashnikov rifles.
"If tomorrow these bastards [police] in Kiev won't stop, we'll take over military units, get hold of armored personnel carriers and tanks - we know how to operate them - and go to Kiev. Victory will be ours," Muzychko warned earlier this week.

And as Ukraine has shown, repeatedly, that they are undecided, what right does either side have to push the issue?
Ukraine needs a friend, not a controller, and so far, that puts the EU and Russia out as they want control, not friendship.

Its a failing of government, not IMF rule.
third the IMF charter has nothing to do with the Rothschild's. It was formed in 1947 with 29 founding nations and today it includes 188 member nations.
An unconfirmed report, via Reuters and the Russian Interfax news agency, says President Viktor Yanukovich made a failed attempt to flee the country. The report quoted Ukraine’s parliamentary speaker, Oleksander Turchynov, an opponent of the president, saying Yanukovich tried to board a plane to Russia, had been prevented from doing so, and was now in the Donetsk region.
