The Guardian UK: The hunt is on for Ukraine’s fugitive president, Viktor Yanukovych, who is believed to be hiding in the pro-Russian Crimean peninsula. The country’s new acting government has issued a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of the mass murder of protesters who died in street clashes last week.
Ukraine’s acting interior minister, Arsen Avakhov, said on his official Facebook page on Monday that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Yanukovych and several other officials for the “mass killing of civilians”. At least 82 people, primarily protesters, were killed in clashes in the capital, Kiev, last week.
