Ukraine's interim government has issued an arrest warrant for ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, who is wanted in connection with the deaths of protesters in Kyiv's main square last week, acting Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in a post published on his Facebook page.
“A criminal case has been initiated into mass murders of peaceful civilians,” Avakov wrote. “A warrant has been issued for the apprehension of Yanukovych and a number of other officials.”
