With what seems like non-stop violence occurring in Kiev right now, the entire world is not only focused on stopping more unnecessary death before it happens, but we’re all also taking a a very hard look at the country’s leadership.
Parliament voted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych out of office this week and though he has refused to leave the country and resign, apparently he is nowhere to be found.
CNN reports that a crew drove to Yanukovych’s residence but he was not present at the time, and has left the capital city for the time being:
When the crew arrived, the gatekeepers said they were not allowing the general public onto the grounds, but they let journalists enter. The civil servants asked that the reporters treat his home as a crime scene.
Both of the President’s two living quarter buildings were empty, the crew saw, as it inspected the grounds.
When the civil servants spoke of the home, they referred to it as being the “people’s residence” once more.
A senior U.S. State Department official said Yanukovych had left Kiev for Ukraine’s second’s largest city of Kharkiv for a meeting after Friday’s peace agreement. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, had been on the phone with Ukraine’s foreign minister.
The site also reports that Parliament is going to hold new elections on May 25th, even though the President has refused to resign, and has said he wants to work to end the violence in the country.
