The last hours of Viktor Yanukovych in the building of the presidential administration on Bankovaya street. Signing an agreement with the opposition (from left to right: Vitaliy Klitschko, Oleg Tyagnibok, Viktor Yanukovych, Arseniy Yatsenyuk), Kiev, February 21, 2014
In the presidential administration on Bankovaya from midnight to 8 in the morning, negotiations between Yanukovych and the opposition continue with the participation of the European three ministers. At 14.00, Yanukovych makes a statement: he pledges to initiate early presidential elections, return to the 2004 constitution with a redistribution of powers in the direction of parliament and calls for the process of forming a government of national confidence to begin. Around 16.00 it becomes known about the agreement reached - "On the resolution of the political crisis in Ukraine." At 20.50, Maidan rejects a compromise with Bankova. The Maidan Self-Defense Forces occupy the government quarter. 
Viktor Yanukovych leaves his residence in Mezhigorye ...
21.40 - The Security Service of Ukraine decides to terminate the "anti-terrorist operation." 
... and sent to Kharkov, Kiev, February 21, 2014
00.40 (February 22) - it becomes known about the departure of Yanukovych to Kharkov. On the way to Kharkov, as it will become known later, Yanukovych had another telephone conversation with Putin.
In the classical manner of a man in power, Yanukovych, having embarked on tirades, decided to show his foreign guests and ministers who was in charge. By recognition Radoslaw Sikorski, ministers agreed in advance that Steinmeier would kill Yanukovych. He managed to take the floor and invite Yanukovych to reduce his time in the presidency (that is, not to wait for November, but to leave earlier. - NT ) Yanukovych left the room to talk on the phone with Vladimir Putin. Returning back, he agreed to the proposed conditions.
The Russian president must have demanded that former President Yanukovych suppress the uprising in Kiev by force, said former Polish Foreign Minister Radoslav Sikorsky. According to Sikorsky, he “knew from unofficial sources” that Putin, during telephone conversations with Yanukovych, very strictly demanded that he act “really firmly”. Arseniy Yatsenyuk commented on the same episode for the newspaper: “There is a feeling that it was so.” He proceeds from the fact that the hasty retreat of the duty unit ("Golden Eagle") from government buildings (February 21, 2014) was only partly the result of panic self-dissolution. To some extent, everything was deliberately staged to allow the opposition to fall into the trap. “The idea was that a large group of people would then set fire to the parliament and the office of the president,” Yatsenyuk told the newspaper. (Newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagzeitung).
Andrey Parubiy:
On the 21st there was a meeting of the centurions of Self-Defense, during which a military council was created, which included representatives of Self-Defense and the Right Sector *. On this advice, we agreed that it was impossible to wait until November when Yanukovych was thinking of holding early elections.
Self-Defense took over the government quarter after the police simply escaped from there. At one point, we suddenly saw that key government buildings were left without any protection. In particular, the Moscow Central Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - a building in which there were a large number of weapons. Therefore, my decision was a consequence of the flight of the security forces, who simply traveled by bus to different directions of Ukraine and asked us for escort and permission to leave. When we realized that weapons could be on the streets, amid the great emotional intensity on the Maidan (after all, the funeral of those heroes who died) continued, I gave the order to take control of all government premises.
“Yanukovych was shocked when he saw from the window of the presidential administration building on Bankova how the police officers, putting their shields on the ground, started loading onto buses. The sudden departure of security forces on Friday caught Yanukovych and his entourage by surprise, ”emphasizes Kharkiv ex-governor Mikhail Dobkin. Then Yanukovych allegedly announced his intention to leave “either at night or on February 22nd”, disguising his escape as a presidential tour to the east of the country. (The New York Times).
Evgeny Nischuk:
Yanukovych was scared. When the unarmed guys went to the snipers, I think he had some scrapping. He realized that he could not hold the situation. Physically, Yanukovych is big and kind of strong, but in reality he was very cowardly. Internal fear pushed him to very tough decisions. But this is not the only reason for his flight. In this situation, he was a doll - both in the hands of the Kremlin and in the hands of his own circle.
Mikhail Dobkin (was at that moment in Kharkov):
The bell rings on the 21st. Yanukovych himself called. Spoken: I'm coming. He said there will be more people in the delegation.
Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Vladimir Rybak and head of the presidential administration Andriy Klyuyev arrived with Yanukovych, “a kind of blonde woman” (presumably Yanukovych’s civil wife Lyubov Polezha. - NT ), I saw her for the first time and who didn’t ask. There was still the youngest son Victor. Well, and security.
Things were, but no more than usual. In general, they arrived, as I said, with two helicopters. He is the first; baggage was transported in the second. I especially did not observe the unloading, but there wasn’t such that something would alert me.
He did not understand what really happened. He acted as if he had the same power in his hands and everyone obeyed him. / ... / He kept repeating all the time: “The situation must be resolved peacefully, no one can be killed, no way can be shot. We will find a way to resolve ... I have guarantees from the presidents of the United States, Russia ... "/ ... / I kept repeating:" We will organize here in Kharkov, and we will repulse them. "
On the night of Friday to Saturday (February 22), he was sure that Maidan had not yet been given the command to disperse. And until that moment, he had better leave the capital. So he appeared in Kharkov. He was not ready to leave. / ... /
When we first arrived at the residence, we started a conversation, he was still so pompous, well, as usual - the monumental rock is so impregnable. But only then, after all these night calls, after our conversation, it was a small cowering man.
