Yanukovych: I Will Return to Kiev

Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych spoke during a press conference from the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don Tuesday.

Once again, he claimed he is the legitimate leader of Ukraine and has never stepped down.

"Because there are rumors spread in Ukraine about me, I would like to say that I am alive, but can't say that I feel well because I can't watch without deep anxiety what's happening in Ukraine. Veiled as a legal government, a gang of ultra-nationalists and fascists are running the country", Yanukovych stated, cited by the Kyiv Post.

Yanukovych claimed that he had not fled his country and that he would return to Kiev when circumstances allow for it, hoping this would be very soon.

This was his second public appearance since being forced out of Ukraine in February.
