The text of the appeal has already been distributed by the media:
“I, Viktor Fedorovich Yanukovych, turn to the people of Ukraine. I still consider myself the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, elected on the basis of the free will of Ukrainian citizens. I cannot be indifferent to tragic events in my homeland. I believe that the Agreement on the settlement of the crisis in Ukraine on February 21, 2014 signed by me and the leaders of the Ukrainian opposition in the presence of respected Western partners. On the streets of many cities of our country, rampant extremism. The threats of physical reprisals are addressed to me, addressed to my associates.
Everything that is happening now in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine does not have a legitimate nature. I have to ask the authorities of the Russian Federation to ensure personal security from the actions of extremists.

Unfortunately, everything that is happening now in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is not legitimate.

Decisions that are made by parliament in the absence of many members of the fraction of the Party of Regions, other factions that are afraid for their safety, and some were subjected to physical violence and are forced to leave the territory of Ukraine are illegal.

I am convinced that under these conditions, all decisions made will soon prove their inefficiency and will not be fulfilled.

In this situation, I officially declare my determination to fully fight for the implementation of important compromise agreements on the withdrawal of Ukraine from a deep political crisis. I urge to immediately return the situation in our country to the constitutional field.

Now it becomes obvious that the people in the southeast of Ukraine and in Crimea do not perceive the abalide and actual lawlessness in the country, when the leaders of the ministries are elected crowd in the square.

I, as the current president, did not allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to intervene in the ongoing domestic political events. I order this now. If someone begins to give a similar order to the armed forces and power structures, such orders will be illegal and criminal. ”

On February 25, the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv decided to detain the ex-president on suspicion of mass murders of participants in anti-government demonstrations. Together with Yanukovych, the former Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Vitaly Zakharchenko was put on the international wanted list.
