Viktoras Janukovyčius
Viktoras Janukovyčius is a former president of Ukraine who served from 2010 until his ousting in 2014 amid pro-European protests that erupted in response to his decision to suspend an association agreement with the European Union. After fleeing to Russia, he became a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a rare interview published recently, he criticized the EU for their handling of Ukraine's integration negotiations and expressed strong opposition to Ukraine's NATO membership, suggesting it could lead to civil war. Janukovyčius has been a controversial figure, previously convicted of treason and sentenced to 13 years in absentia by a Ukrainian court, and his Ukrainian citizenship was revoked by President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2023.
