So what? Ukrainian SSR Constitution was written in full compliance with the Constitution of the USSR. Besides, it is in any case does not indicate a gap of union relations with other republics. The EU has not have common constitution so constitutions of independent states still acting. This does not prevent them from being members of the Union.
I repeat once more. There was no referendum in Ukraine to exit from Union treaty.
In the Soviet Union exit from the union treaty was called "exit from the union treaty." And the referendum, in which there is the phrase "exit from the union treaty" means that the exit from the union treaty can not occur as a result of any other referendum. Changing the status of a republic does not involve an exit from the union treaty.
That is your interpretation.
There is nothing in the law you translated that specifically tell what to ask.
Show me a law that say what exactly to ask for!
The Declaration of Independance is (among other things) regarding whether USSR should have any jurisdiction
over Ukraine or not, and the answer was no. That is secession.
I am sure every voter was well informed what a yes meant.
