Here’s how it’s done, per Wikipedia.

In order to impeach the President, they must be convicted of treason to the state and other crimes. A two-thirds constitutional majority in the Verkhovna Rada (300 ayes) must support a procedure of impeachment for it to begin. A temporary investigative commission is established by the parliament for the impeachment investigation. The commission’s final conclusions are considered at a parliamentary meeting.

To adopt an impeachment resolution, a minimum two-thirds of the parliament must support the impeachment procedure. To remove the President from office, a minimum three-quarters of parliament must support the resolution. The Constitutional and the Supreme Court of Ukraine’s conclusions and decisions are considered at the parliamentary meetings. No President has been impeached from office to date.

Not easy, to be sure, but the Rada should nonetheless begin; given the current circumstances, they just might be able to pull it off.
