Ukraine's Yanukovych Ousted

The parliament in Ukraine voted to oust President Viktor Yanukovych and release former president Yulia Tymoshenko from prison. Speaker of the Parliament Oleksandr Turchynov has been named acting president pending elections which have been called for May.

This isn't the good news Russia's Vladimir Putin wanted as an ending flourish for his Sochi Olympics. He'll have to settle for Russia winning lots of medals.
