Yanukovych Reportedly Hiding in Mount Athos

According to foreign unmanned sources brought by the international edition of the Greek newspaper “Kathimerini” and its correspondent to the Ukrainian capital, former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is reported to be hiding in Mount Athos in Greece. The local correspondent of the newspaper said that the rumor has not been confirmed at this time, but local media outlets are reporting that fugitive Yanukovych has fled the country for Greece’s semi-autonomous monastic community, located in the Greek northern peninsula of Halkidiki. The former Ukrainian President, who fled Kiev on the night of February 21, following the massive riots held on the streets of the capital city and leading to many deaths, was subsequently impeached by the Ukrainian parliament and relieved of his duties, after televising an address that he would not resign. On February 24, it was announced that Yanukovych has been placed on Ukraine’s most wanted list and that a criminal case has been opened against him, referring the former president to the International Criminal Court in The Hague to answer the charges in connection to the death of 82 protesters in Kiev last week. In the past days, several other reports stated the former Ukrainian president had found a safe haven in Austria, Russia, Belarus, and even the U.A.E.
