Russia Ukraine war, page-216093

you just chuck out the bits of histpry you don't like

Yanukovic was a very corrupt thief who absented himself to Moscopw with the 1.5 bill of ill gotten gains .
If you had stolen that much you wouldn't have wanted to risk serving out your whole term and risk getting caught either .

"Yanukovych and his associates, known as ‘the Family’, are believed to have embezzled as much as $37 billion and stashed it in bank accounts and company shares around the world, including in EU countries such as Austria, Latvia, Cyprus, Italy, and the Netherlands. "

Can't prove it but assume putin would've been given a cut as an inducement to harbour him .
