Britannica says he was impeached.
"... In February 2014, after scores of demonstrators were killed by government security forces in Kiev and with parliament voting to impeach him, Yanukovych fled to Russia..."

UK politicians say he was impeached:
The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Mr William Hague):
On Saturday, the Ukrainian Parliament, the Rada, voted to restore the 2004 constitution, to release Yuliya Tymoshenko and to impeach the President.

But we all know that he wasn't REALLY impeached, because the impeachment procedure wasn't followed. Rada just passed a resolution removing Yanukovich from power because allegedly he self-removed himself from his Presidency position. When he actually hasn't.
