There are numerous reports, including one from a member of parliament, that Ukraine’s embattled President Viktor Yanukovych has resigned on Feb. 22 and fled the country.
However, his loyal adviser, member of parliament Hanna Herman, says Yanukovych has not resigned. The report that he quit came from opposition member of parliament Ivan Kyrylenko, according to Interfax-Ukraine news service.
An opposition figure has announced to crowds in Independence Square that the president has resigned. This has not been confirmed, but the crowds reacted with huge cheers. The presidential website appears to have gone down.
Also in parliament, speaker Volodymyr Rybak resigned, citing ill health. He has been replaced by Oleksandr Turchynov, an ally of Ms Tymoshenko.
Another Tymoshenko ally, Arsen Avakov, has been appointed interim interior minister. He replaces Vitaly Zakharchenko, who was sacked on Friday after being blamed for the deaths of civilians in last week's crackdown on protests.

While this is good news, I don't think it will be the end of trouble, Putin won't relinquish control this easily.

Nope. But there is so much corruption with the President's administration there that I'm somewhat cynical of a peaceful resolution to the current crisis.

I am quite surprised to see a few people on here supporting an armed coup.

You do know whatever or not the next or the same administration from 2010 corruption will still stay right?

I think we are more so supporting the will of the people. They stood up against a government they didn't approve of or want representing them. Before anyone argues that fact they'd better take a look at what percentage of their population is out there fighting...this wouldn't be going down so quickly nor as easily as it has if there wasn't a good strong majority involved.

Yanukovic says he won't resign + calls it a Fascist Revolution like 1933 Germany. Depending on who believes him this could still get nasty
He says its this just like the Fascist Revolution like in 1933 Germany. When Hilter took over

Why?
If it happened in the US you'd be the first to come out of their skin with elation I'd suspect.
