Something wrong?Ukraine's fourth president, driven from office in 2014 after riot police killed nearly 100 protesters on Kyiv's streets. He'd abruptly abandoned an EU agreement parliament had passed, triggering the Euromaidan uprising - then fled to Russia in the night, where he remains in exile under a Ukrainian treason sentence.

, And another lie from the opposition - there is no revolution underway. And in the current conditions, it is not possible.
And today I am summoning for talks, just like we did during our [electoral campaign - note] debate, that miscreant Leopold the Cat - Yushchenko.
(About his opponents) I believe that there are many more strong and healthy people than these assholes who are constantly troubling our lives!

Born 9 July 1950, Yanukovych rose through Donetsk politics as governor from 1997, joined the pro-Russian Party of Regions, and reached for the presidency in 2004. Declared the winner against Viktor Yushchenko, he watched the result collapse under fraud allegations and mass protest - the Orange Revolution - forcing a rerun he lost. He returned in 2010, this time defeating Yulia Tymoshenko in an election international observers called clean. His presidency saw Tymoshenko jailed, press freedom erode, and cronyism deepen. In November 2013 he suddenly withdrew from an EU association agreement parliament had overwhelmingly backed, bowing to Russian economic pressure. Protests erupted into Euromaidan; in February 2014 government forces killed almost 100 demonstrators. He signed a settlement with the opposition on 21 February, then secretly fled that evening. Parliament voted to remove him the next day, some of his own party joining. In 2019 a Ukrainian court sentenced him in absentia to thirteen years for high treason; polls since rank him among Ukraine's worst presidents, his name now shorthand for political blunders.
