Yanukovich should have stayed. Nobody forced him to left. He fled his fears. But he also fled an agreement that his sponsors didn't approve of or initial.

In so doing, he violated the agreement. Once by not signing the legislation he agreed to sign when it was passed--he'd already packed up and left. A second time by not lifting a finger to arrange for the interim government he agreed to. Instead, all he did was quickly denounce everything done, even by the representatives from his own party, as illegal and illegitimate.

He's Morsi. With more corruption and foreign support than Morsi ever had, far more divisive than Morsi ever was, and far less cooperative with sub-constituencies in his own country than Morsi ever was.
