Report: Ukrainian President Voted Out By Parliament


Amid reports this morning that Ukrainian President Yanukovich has fled Kiev for eastern Ukraine comes this:
Protesters seized the Kiev office of President Viktor Yanukovich on Saturday and the opposition demanded a new election be held by May, as the pro-Russian leader's grip on power rapidly eroded following bloodshed in the capital. 
Anti-government demonstrators entered Yanukovich's compound in the capital and were controlling the entrance, a Reuters reporter said at the scene. Security guards were present inside the building but were not trying to expel the protesters.
Reuters is also reporting that the Ukrainian parliament has voted to oust Yanukovich and set new elections for May 25.  Here's more.
