Did Ukraine's Ousted President Yanukovych Just Disappear?
Having already fled Kiev and his compound for the more hospitable eastern are of Ukraine, perhaps it was Tymoshenko's comment that...
- *UKRAINIANS OBLIGED TO BRING YANUKOVYCH BACK TO KIEV: TYMOSHENKO
...that was the final straw. Interfax is reporting that, for now, Customs have lost rack of the deposed leader...
- *UKRAINE CUSTOMS SVC STOPPED DEPARTURE OF PRESIDENT'S PLANE: IFX
- *UKRAINE CUSTOMS SVC SAYS YANUKOVYCH LEFT AIRPORT IN CAR: IFX
- *YANUKOVYCH HASN'T SHOWN UP AT OTHER CHECKPOINT: CUSTOMS TO IFX
Cue - webcams at Moscow International...
This follows the earlier capture of another cabinet member trying to cross the border:

He was a Soviet hologram all along ?
You better make your face up in
Your favourite disguise
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door
You better run
Ukraine is not as divided as ex-KGB/FSB propaganda arm RIA Novosti and Kremlin try to portray.
I'm sure Putin is shitting his pants because he knows that Putin is next after Yanukovytch.
How many months Putin has before riots in Moscow?
It seems like Yanukovych, contrary to the evil dictator caricature that Cult_of_Treason has been trying to sell, was going out of his way to be accommodative to the protesting "freedom fighters":

Cult_of_Treason has been shilling his little neocon heart out lately, both as himself and as his sock puppet El Tuco. Rarely have I had the misfortune of seeing such an execrable performance. His propaganda so cartoonish and nonsensical that it verges on vaudevillian. I think he knows he is not fooling anyone with it, but he still finds the lies comforting somehow.
But hey, some people relish total immersion in their own lies. Don't disturb their masturbation.
Ignorant stupid nonsense.
UCC cuts both ways. Ask Milosovic "This court has no jurisdiction".
Austrian authorities open criminal proceedings against Kluyev - espreso.tv |PR News
Kluyev is Yanukovytch's right hand and PM with criminal links to corrupt Kremlin via Austrian banks (I have posted links on ZH previously to an investigative report by EU journalists)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andriy_Klyuyev
Yeah, I know if I was trying to leave a country, and I was at the airport already... I would leave by car...
Or at least, my lookalike would be SEEN, leaving by car...
Ousted Ukraine President Yanukovich's residence is open to anyone.
I wonder what Putin's residence looks like.
______
According to Kremlin propaganda lies (unfortunately often promoted here on Zero Hedge), Donetsk (Eastern Ukraine) was Yanukovich's "strong" support area of "deeply divided" Ukraine.
Saturday, February 22 22:07 GMT:
Border guards at Donetsk airport in eastern Ukraine say they did not let the plane carrying President Yanukovich leave the country. Earlier, new Rada speaker Aleksandr Turchinov claimed that Viktor Yanukovich and several other high-ranking officials made an unsuccessful attempt to flee to Russia.
Cult_of_Treason still jacking it in Brussels. You'd think his wrist would get tired.
I hope you have your tin foil hat firmly on.
Must be crap to earn your daily bread by sucking the balls of zionist warmongers
EU journalists)
lol EU Journalists. What makes them EU per se?You appear awfully similar to the Brussels paid DT trolls I constantly encourter.
Hey, Cult_of_Treason, thanks for posting the link to this NYT story about the two richest guys in Dnepropetrovsk who ordered all their local properties to hoist European Union flags and then piped live video of the "protests" to the large outdoor viewscreen at their shopping mall:
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/06/world/europe/ukraine-chief-loses-suppo...
If you hadn't posted that link, I'd never have known that these two brave Ukrainian patriots both then promptly fled to that country whose name must never be mentioned.
They are not "brave Ukrainian patriots", but just two oligarchs from Eastern Ukraine who don't support Yanukovytch.
What about our corrupt oligarchs right here in old U.S.S.A.?
It remains to be seen, but Ukrainians beat us to it ...
Too bad those corrupt turds won't disappear. Pity. Especially the arrogant narcissistic lying illegal alien kenyan muslim sociopath and its wookie.
good riddance..
And guess where the two great revolutionaries fled?
Fearing arrest, Mr. Korban and Mr. Filatov fled Ukraine for Israel last week.
Fled his COMPOUND.....ha! you media fucks should live in compound like that!
Propagandists must refer to it as a compound, because the word "compound" calls to mind people like Jim Jones and David Koresh. This makes it easier to sell the lies.
I'm surprised weekend-Tyler hasn't yet called it a Führerbunker. Maybe the next tripe from The Diplomat will call it that.
Hmm, Führerbunker, do those come with their own zoo and multi-transport garages these daze?
.
They come fully stocked with anything and everything that a propagandist could want.
I live in a block of flats. Does that qualify to be called a "compound"?
Compound, Sweet Compound.
All together now:
## Ooh, give me a compound
Where the buffalo romp around
And the de-er, and the antelope plaayy ...
So who called out the snipers?
TFS
As per your usual well said.
As Americans we are watching the most shameful chapter in our unabridged history.
Outside the Zionist neocon camp that provides comment here, I think most would agree that what has taken place in the Ukraine the last couple of weeks with the Pyatt/Nuland revelations which are blatant acts of treasons committed by the U.S. Government along with $5 billion of our money being used to subvert a democratically elected leader (good, bad, or otherwise) which has killed dozens, injured or maimed hundreds and destroyed and pillaged a city and it's property beyond outrageous. The President of the United States declaring the opposition "Peaceful" has to be the ultimate insult and crown at the top!
I think the majority here are as amazed as I am that we've witnessed absolutely nothing with the fallout of these latest provocations in our foreign policy agenda through demonstrations around the Nation demanding that our Leaders be jailed for treason they keep committing which is more dangerous then it has ever been!
I guess Russia and China will be the ones deciding for us at this point.
Yeah...Morsi was "democratically elected," too. Come to think of it, so were Chavez, Maduro, Kirchner, Sadaam Husein, (Hitler!!!)...
So please, spare us your disingenuous democracy fetish.
and Morsi was also "freed" from prison...
As was the arrogant narcissistic lying illegal alien kenyan muslim sociopath. Twice. How stupid is thator what.
Don't worry about the Nuland call, I have it on good authority that the call was fake. My source is infallible.
heh heh heh...
Yep. He even says so, which proves that he's infallible.
You know the Pope? Cool!
Well, not exactly, but he does lead a cult of sock puppets.
If you think this is the most shameful chapter in our history then your history book is most definitely abridged.
Pat Buchanan at his best. As usual. He would have made a great president if he had been elected. Instead, he got screwed up by the Republican establishment, just like Ron Paul.
3 months after the gas money stops coming in.
They've already had riots in Moscow - but they were pussy.
When top dogs start disappearing into bunkers, its time to start popping popcorn.
I have a bad feeling about all this. Not just Ukraine..but all.
Lazyboy -check, Popcorn -check, Lead expulsion device -check, water -check, energy capture-check and gold and silver (lost in the lake :().

Edit: Maybe, the protestors found more than the gold in his house. If they did, I hope they are keelhauling his ass off his pirate ship.

Coward. Why is he on the run? First he fights for his power, verbally anyway. Then he quits his people alltogether? What a good-for-nothing bum in the end. That's the display of a bad leader right there. Full confirmation of just what went on during his reign and why the people are right to have ousted him. Respect how the people treat the palace as they understand this is rightfully theirs and they can decide the future of the palace and the future of Ukraine. Russia is to be commended for staying put and brokering deals in the background. Ukraine's newly emerging leadership is breathtakingly beautiful. I hope we'll see lots more of her.
Under the Ukrainian Constitution, Yanukovich is still the President. He is not in Kiev because he could be killed by the putschists and the Rada has told the police not to protect him. He had to leave, but he is still the President.
everyone has a plan until he gets punched in the mouth
he is trying to avoid getting punched in the mouth
JohnQ +1 for the Mike Tyson quote.
Gonna have to watch his youtube highlight reel..just to be ready.
Exactly. Time to go when the police you just ordered to shoot the people say no and point them at you. You're only President in name only when there are no guns to make it otherwise.
If he links up with a Russian security detail, things get very interesting legally. If the opposition and CIA hunting parties have any brains brought along a good hemp rope. The kleptocrat would be smart to keep a low profile because he's worth a lot to the Russians alive.
Olivia Timuchenko has an even lower life expectantcy than Waldemar Klichko.
To quote my grandfather.
"When the going gets tough, the pussies start running".

You mistake cute makeup theatre for beauty. Yulia is very plain in real. No comparison to full Ukrainian ladies.
Also, manipulative criminal actress.....all to fool easy like you
My neighbor is Ukraine and his wife a pole. He says Yulia is also a corrupt little bitch and just different head of same coin
at least easy on the eyes. Unlike male chauvinist pigs that come from that end of the world.
I've become too jaded to care.
she can fool me all she wants
Under the Ukrainian Constitution, the President can only be impeached and removed if he is disabled or has been convicted of a crime, and then there must be a 3/4 vote in the Rada, and then the Constitutional Court must review it.
None of this has happened. This is a putsch by armed extremists, un-Constitutional and this shows that the EU (Germany, France and Poland) are behind a coup. They need to clean this up and it's doubtful they can, now that the West Ukraine extremists have taken control of Kiev.
Meanwhile, the Ukraine economy will implode, particularly in Kiev and environs and the West Ukraine.
Putin is behind this. To drive up gas prices. But what do i know.
The Olympics are almost over.
Possible that the tanks roll soon Georgia style?
those tanks never made it to Tblisi.
I do agree with those who say "Ukraine ain't Cuba."
More like Texas actually.
Far be it from American to go to war over nothing more than a bunch of scrub brush on a map that has little value to anyone of course.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War
It is a difficult proposition for Russia to kill other Russians/Slavs. They will dig in and try to open another front. I still think the State Dep. would love to see Russia invade. Open war Russians borders would be a great blow to Putin and the Kremlin. Russia stands to lose 30+ billion in case a default in Kiev. Russia will play nice. They already abandoned Yanukovici, Russia TV is saying he was a weak leader, not trustworthy.
Invasion is so 20th century. As I mentioned earlier on a post, once the Olympics is over early next week look for Putin to cut off the natural gas to Ukraine and by extension parts of western Europe. Mighty cold there this time of year and there's only so much furniture to burn.
Bingo. You don't go to war in a world of scarcity. You want the enemy alive -- to consume.
Vladimir need only tighten the spigot, or better demand the EU pay the Ukraine gas bill. When the EU says . . . here are some Euros . . . Vladimir says what, paper? No. And no, don't want gold either.
I want things of value. Send me your aircraft carriers. And your planes. All of them. Then you can be warm in winter. No, not waiting til you build them. Send the ones you already have.
So, the Mona Lisa travels to the Kremlin?
"look for Putin to cut off the natural gas to Ukraine and by extension parts of western Europe."
That would just stiffen their resolve and burn any chance Russia has of retaining influence. Their best bet is to stay low and let matters resolve themselves peacefully, at the end of which they'll still have their pipelines and their navy port. Threats at this point run the risk of losing both.
24 hr countdown to Mon., Feb.24 has begun.
LOL - you act as though there is rule of law in Ukraine - how cute.
hmmm ok
"This is a putsch by armed extremists, un-Constitutional and this shows that the EU (Germany, France and Poland) are behind a coup."
US Secretary of Defense John Forbes Kerry and the Obama Administration doesn't seem to have a problem with supporting this coup/putsch.
Of course the Obama Administration supported the coup/putcsh in Egypt, and the coup/putsch in Libya, and...
Hmm... Is it just ME or does it kinda seem like the Obama Administration has supported all manner of anti-democratic movements and coup/putsch undertaken since coming to power?
He's trying to win another Nobel Peace Prize.
puppet on da run
Sell some gold my friends/better fiat if you still have/and buy beans,rice and watter.WW3 was silent so far,now is the start of the hot part.
With the amount of plights going on worldwide in numerous unconnected nations, I too feel that WW3 has been building for a decade plus, and with all these recent high escalations that you are right that it is the "start of the hot part". Very interesting indeed to see where the next big push comes from, guessing either Venezuela / China / Arab Spring / or something in Africa.
State side is to confusing for me to even try to begin thinking about what the F is going on within or own borders, but with the HIGH probability of inflated food and utility costs shit will begin hitting the said fan here before to long when people can no longer afford to eat, sleep in a house, or provide safety for their families, that will start something here.
The enemies of the USA have always dreamt of an overt US intervention in Mexico,
That is why we are seeing the US intervention in Ukraine.
Dead men can't talk.
E.g., Saddam Hussein, Qaddafi, OBL, Chavez.
All had an "Early Factory Recall". A "Total Recall" of sorts.
The Russian Federation does not tolerate failure.
Ah, this brings back memories. When Gaddafi was on the run and "disappeared" for a while it was widely thought he had managed to leave the country. Turns out NATO bombed his convoy and the rebels proceeded to capture, torture and execute him.
"not a pretty ending" i agree.
and we've had many of those lately it seems.
and yes i did see the story of the two Navy Seals who turned up dead on Maersk container ship they were pulling security on.
gadaffis vehicle was tracked..
french donated vehicle with full gps military positioning : )
in fact the bbc just happened to be within 400 feet of the place he was captured.
like saddam the capture was staged via a timetable.
bbc gabrial gatehouse nice name A.
the whole of libya to hunt for g and he ithe mi6 bbc is 500 feet away A.
Correction: That's capture, torture and sodomize him...
Given the instrument of their pleasure was the sharp end of a bayonet, his death naturally followed
haven't seen any pictures of "general population carrying these" yet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M27_Infantry_Automatic_Rifle
not a pretty history over there...i would take claims of maintenance of "territorial integrity" very seriously.
It is a general given that the general slav will pogrom each other.
"bad luck."
My God, this is another low for ZH propaganda outlet. I am leaving...
Satan is victorious.
>> I am leaving...
Damn, and you were one of my favorite posters...... Wait a minute, have you ever posted anything before?
Well...........
Bye.
Sounds like East Ukraine/West Ukraine is coming; kind of like North Korea/South Korea.
The question is which Ukraine will have a moonbat dictator.
"US North versus US South."
Waitin' for their Abe?
Probably not.
I've just started the first line of my new book.
"It was quiet...too quiet."
Not sure if I'm the first to say it, but perhaps damn close... What if... what if:
East (Putin) and West (Obama) have agreed to do what Stalin & Hitler did to Poland? I.e. each gets 1/2. The Olympics give Putin the perfect 'cover' not to be able to act. After all, in spook-land and high-power politics little is at is appears.
Time will tell, but I would not be totally 'shocked' if this happened. After all, the strategic interests of both parties would resolved and the breakup would be along more 'natural' (cultural and linguistic) lines for the populace.
No one has any idea what is going on. I heard some Party of Regions MPs said they did not vote to impeach Yanukovich, even though the numbers suggest at least a third of his party defected. Claims are also circulating that the speaker of parliament from the Party of Regions, who resigned due to "ill health" was beaten up by protesters before his announcement i.e. his "ill health" was most likely a ruptured spleen from repeated beatings. Yanukovich saying he was shot at makes me wonder if protesters are going to start setting up "people's courts" and just executing any leading officials they find following speedy public trials.
All the cheering in the West shows the same disconnect with reality that we saw in Egypt, Libya, and countless other recent "revolutions" that have rapidly descended into a cacophony of violent insurgencies. They're gonna push the IMF to fund Ukraine? What kind of crazy lender would front this failing state any lump sum of cash? The Russians are probably gonna block off trade due to the "coup" and cause Ukraine's economy to crash anyway.
Violent revenge, it's what's for dinner!
But seriously, it is a thin veil between hatred and violence. Few socieites in history restrain themselves when they find themselves falling forward into hurting whoever they feel is their "enemy".
,
I'm sure that the US State Department would guarantee a fair and impartial trial, just like the one Muammar Gaddafi received.
I saw him working at a 7-11 in Henderson, NV.
His wife was seen at Auchan supermarket in Makeevka shopping for groceries today.
That was Elvis.
I'm not sure Yanukovych is welcome in Moscow, though maybe he's not hated either.
If he were a puppet of Putin's and Putin wanted him gone, he just would've picked up the phone. Instead, the Russians made a very public statement that they wouldn't be going forward with the Ukrainian bailout.
This tells me that Putin may have had some doubts about whether Yanukovich would resign, even if told to do so. So they announced he was persona-non-grata and gave an incentive to anyone with ambition to usurp Yanukovych's position.
Why Putin wanted him gone is still a bit of a mystery to me. I know it had nothing to do with Ukrainians' well-being, though.
Gloves now off between Russia and EU. Expect Putin to go all in on destabilising EU. Probably start with fostering active rebellion in the PIIGS. And all those Muslims throughout Europe can be encouraged to cause strife.
It may take a while, but Russia is used to fighting long battles.
Nothing will happen. Svovoboda will attack the pipelines and the Russian bases. The Ukrainians will enjoy their IMF bailout.

Khodorkovsky insulted Putin. That is the only reason he was jailed. Because at the meeting all the other hydrocarbon wealth extractors who had done as much if not not more theft from the people of Russia have not ended up in jail. Calling him a crook proves you are not honest.
You know exactly what I am talking about. Puck in your net.
Mikhail's only crime was too rape the country of it's natural resources and to insult (YES) the bravado intelligence of 'Vlad the Hammer' Putin!

Are you out of fucking mind? Ever heard of term limits? Putin is as corrupt as they come and you know it. Who is going to be in charge once he can not run again? Oh thats right he will just change the rules.
BTW anyone afraid of Pussy is just a Riot.
i agree that putin should step down sometime in the near future. i also (myself) feel abit queasy of a fledgling democracy turning inward to a dictatorship as we've seen in turkey regarding erdogan. this i hope will change.
by comparison the ussa is predictably in the same situation where democrats and republicans fight over wedge-issues polarizing (note: putin is smart to step down hard on wedge issue that have no significant meaning other than turn the country into a secretarian cesspool) the entire congress, judicial system and presidency. it is by default as your aware of(?) i hope?
