Arrest Warrant Issued for Former Ukrainian President

Ukraine has issued an arrest warrant for fugitive ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, the interior minister says.

Arsen Avakov said on Facebook that a criminal case had been opened against Mr Yanukovych and other officials over "mass murder of peaceful citizens".

MPs voted to remove Mr Yanukovych on Saturday after months of deadly protest sparked by his rejection of an EU deal in favour of closer ties with Russia.
