Do you have any idea where Yanukovych might be right now?
Apparently an arrest warrant has been issued but he fled Kiev by helicopter. He was reportedly seen in Sevastopol, although that hasn't been verified, according to news reports.
He's probably just driving up to his Sentosa Cove bungalow as we speak.PNGMK wrote:Singapore has a history of allowing people like him in...BedokAmerican wrote:I saw something about this on CNN today.

He is a member of very well know Eastern Ukrainian gangster clan - the one ruled by Rinat Akhmetov (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinat_Akhmetov). Those are very dangerous people. His criminal past is well known in Ukraine, people just were closing their eyes since he seemed better alternative as a president after complete failure of Orange Revolution in Ukraine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Revolution) - at least he seemed so to South-Estern part of Ukraine (West of Ukraine has own powerful gang clans, so he was a kind of "protector"). The tragedy is we have nobody now except those "oranges" who proved to be completely incompetent in ruling economy (Yulia Timoshenko is one of them - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yulia_Timoshenko). So it really looks like the war is not over... until some strong and capable leader emerges in Ukraine. But when???x9200 wrote:I don't think he is like a typical ruthless dictator. He is more like a person with troubled past who was not really competent for the position and have some questionable standards or just could not managed the situation. He comes from a very poor family what may explain his nouveau riche inclinations.
Nobody is looking for him except raging extremists (they burned a house of the liader of Ukrainain Communist party yesterday). Police is busy with their own problems - they're being smashed and humiliated. Special forces in the whole Ukraine ("Berkut") were disbanded, all with ban to join anything related to police for 10 years. What current "authorities" are planning to organize instead special forces - nobody knows. Special forces are used to fight organized crime (we have plenty). Looks like nobody cares until it hits HARD - the foundation of the whole country is being broken to please those former opposition leaders who gained their power with blood.BedokAmerican wrote:I'm kind of surprised Yanukovych (or even his helicopter) hasn't been located. Seems like it would be hard to hide a helicopter, although I'm not familiar with topography in Ukraine.
You think he'll seek asylum in Russia? Or is he too high-profile to even live there and is it too easy for Ukrainian authorities to get to him? Maybe North Korea will take him (hint of sarcasm). Hopefully not Singapore.
I like that. Here's a musical equivalent...x9200 wrote:I saw this somewhere a while ago:
