Didn’t Ukraine’s Parliament impeach Yanukovich. He is no longer legally president.

The way it works, in order for the Ukrainian President to be removed, he must be convicted in a trial after being impeached, and the result of the trial upheld by the Ukrainian Constitutional Court.

Sort of like the US - even though Clinton was impeached, he wasn't convicted in his trial before the Senate, so he couldn't be removed.

Ukraine wants a trial. Yanukovich left the country.
