In social polls conducted since his departure from office, Yanukovych is regarded as the worst president in Ukrainian history. On 24 January 2019, he was sentenced in absentia to thirteen years' imprisonment for high treason by a Ukrainian court. On 18 June 2015, Yanukovych was officially deprived of the title of president by parliament.

After his departure, Yanukovych held several press conferences, and declared himself to remain "the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state elected in a free vote by Ukrainian citizens". Two days later, the interim government issued a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of responsibility for "mass killing of civilians". On 22 February 2014, the Ukrainian parliament voted to remove him from his post and schedule early elections on the grounds that he had withdrawn from his constitutional duties, rather than through the impeachment process. Later that day, however, he secretly fled the capital for Kharkiv, claiming his car was shot at as he left Kyiv, and travelling next to Crimea, and eventually to exile in Russia. On 21 February, Yanukovych and the parliamentary opposition signed an agreement to bring about an interim unity government, constitutional reforms and early elections. There was severe violence in Kyiv on 18–20 February, when police snipers fired on protesters, killing almost 100. In January 2014, this developed into deadly clashes in Kyiv between protesters and Berkut special riot police. This sparked large protests by supporters of European integration, who occupied Kyiv's Independence Square and held rallies throughout Ukraine, in a wave of civil unrest dubbed the " Euromaidan". Amid pressure from Russia, Yanukovych suddenly changed his mind and rejected a pending association agreement with the EU, instead choosing to pursue closer ties with Russia and a Russian loan bailout.

In November 2013, a series of events started that led to his ousting as president. The election was judged free and fair by international observers. Yanukovych was elected president in 2010, defeating Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. He served as Prime Minister for a second time from 4 August 2006 to 18 December 2007, under President Yushchenko. Yanukovych lost this second election to Yushchenko.
The Ukrainian Supreme Court nullified the runoff election and ordered a second runoff. This caused widespread citizen protests and Kyiv's Independence Square was occupied in what became known as the Orange Revolution. However, the election was fraught with allegations of electoral fraud and voter intimidation. Yanukovych first ran for president in 2004: he advanced to the runoff election and was initially declared the winner against former Prime Minister Viktor Yushchenko. He was Prime Minister of Ukraine from 21 November 2002 to 7 December 2004 and from 28 December 2004 to 5 January 2005, under President Leonid Kuchma. Yanukovych served as the governor of Donetsk Oblast, a province in eastern Ukraine, from 1997 to 2002. He currently lives in exile in Russia, where he has lived since his removal from office in 2014.
From 2006 to 2007 he was the prime minister of Ukraine he also served in this post from November 2002 to January 2005, with a short interruption in December 2004. Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych ( Ukrainian: Віктор Федорович Янукович, pronounced ( listen) Russian: Виктор Фёдорович Янукович, romanized: Viktor Fyodorovich Yanukovich born 9 July 1950) is a former politician who served as the fourth president of Ukraine from 2010 until he was removed from office in the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, after months of protests against his presidency.
