Ukraine. Parliament removes President Yanukovych, who is then stopped at the airport while attempting to flee to Russia. His sumptuous residence (featuring a personal zoo, a collection of vintage cars, a lake with a galleon, and personalized gold bars) is overrun by crowds of onlookers. Parliament also calls for early elections on May 25th. Yulia Tymoshenko is freed, arriving in Kiev’s Independence Square in a wheelchair and praising the heroes of the revolution.
