Russia Ukraine war, page-216337

Great that you are using paraphrasing to ensure the message you read is what I was intending to send. In this case, nope, it is not what I am saying.

Yanukovych planned an escape. That is premeditated. He arranged with associates to have a trip east that would "look like" official business. Why would it need to "look like" anything?

After making a deal with opposition parties on Feb 21 to hold early elections, he made his way toward Russia.

On the 22nd of Feb, he was uncontactable, he did not disclose his whereabouts, had one attempt to exit Ukraine denied. He was successful on his 2nd attempt, with Putin's help, to get out of Ukraine. No need for him to run, so why did he?

Full intention to leave Ukraine. Not the actions of a man committed to the Ukrainian presidency but of one committed to avoiding justice with his ill gotten corruption money.

He abandoned the presidency voluntarily. He fled Ukraine to avoid facing the consequences of his actions.

It isn't that complicated.

So far the "unsubstantiated" donations are up to $2.
