UKRAINE, Kiev : A woman walks on Kiev’s Independence square on February 27, 2014. Deposed Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych the same day said he still considers himself to be Ukraine’s head of state but asked Russia to ensure his personal security. “I still consider myself to be the legal head of the Ukrainian state,” said Yanukovych in a statement to Russian news agencies, his first comments since February 22. “I am compelled to ask the Russian Federation to ensure my personal security from the actions of extremists,” he said, adding that the latest decisions by the Ukrainian parliament “do not have legitimate character.” AFP PHOTO/BULENT KILIC
