Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and security forces deserted the capital Kiev as protesters on 22 February moved to secure state institutions and parliament took steps towards forming a transitional government. The Ukrainian parliament voted to oust President Viktor Yanukovych and called elections for 25 May. Meanwhile, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has been freed from prison and is on her way to the protesters in Kiev, her party said. The Ukrainian parliament a day earlier backed a reform under which the charges against her are no longer criminal. EPA/SERGEY DOLZHENKO
