Deposed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych speaks in Rostov-on-Don in Russia (March 2014)


Interpol has placed deposed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on its wanted list, almost one year after he fled to neighbouring Russia.
He is accused by Ukrainian officials of embezzling millions of dollars in public funds.
Mr Yanukovych was ousted after clashes between police and protesters in Kiev left dozens dead, mainly demonstrators.
Afterwards, Russia moved to annexe Crimea from Ukraine and conflict broke out in parts of eastern Ukraine.
Mr Avakov said a warrant had been issued for Mr Yanukovych's son Olexander, although that could not be confirmed on the Interpol website.
Ukraine's new government accuses the former president of ordering snipers to fire on protesters, although he rejects the accusations against him.
