He can return and face the court.

Yanukovich ran for his fucking life they night of Feb 21 - to avoid being captured and just fucking killed. Because that's what revolutions do.

18–21 February 2014 - Maidan coup - ended with Yanukovich fleeing.

You can debate if the 'Revolution of Dignity' was a good thing or not, but some other country impeaching their leader for human rights violations and holding new elections is a poor reason to invade it. Obviously Putin thought Yanukovych was his guy and if the Ukranians dared to kick him out and have democracy he'd just have to invade and install a new puppet but is that really a coup? Google has:

>A popular uprising is not typically considered a coup. An uprising is a broad, public, and often spontaneous mass movement aimed at social or political change, while a coup (coup d'état) is a rapid seizure of power by a small, elite group, such as the military or political insiders.

A “popular uprising” is basically just a coup with a public relations veil.

Yeah like the famous French Coup. You never hear a Ukrainian say our country had a coup. It's a Russian propaganda lie so they can feel better about murdering their peaceful democratic neighbours to try to steal their stuff.
