Former Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovich had been missing since Parliament passed a resolution on February 22nd that kicked him out of office.
With Viktor Yanukovych gone, Ukraine hunts for secrets of former leader: Documents at Yanukovych’s abandoned estate could prove claims of regime corruption – and see him stand trial
“Of the president himself, nothing has been heard since he appeared in a television interview from an undisclosed location on Saturday night, claiming he was still president. But over the weekend, the leader of his own party said that the president was responsible for “criminal orders”, and the Russians also appeared to distance themselves from Yanukovych.
“He has run away, his security and staff have run away … What a pathetic end for a president,” wrote Alexey Pushkov, the hawkish head of the Russian parliament’s foreign affairs committee, on Twitter.”
