双语新闻：乌克兰对亚努科维奇发出逮捕令 Ukraine Issues Arrest Warrant for Yanukovych

乌克兰已向被推翻的总统亚努科维奇发出逮捕令,指责他和其他官员大规模杀害抗议民众。

代理内务部长阿尔森·阿瓦科夫星期一在脸书(Facebook)上发表的一份声明宣布了颁发逮捕令的消息。他说，人们最后一次看到亚努科维奇时，他在亲俄罗斯的乌克兰克什米尔地区，不过这位被赶下台的前乌克兰领导人具体在什么地方，目前还不得而知。

与此同时，欧盟外交政策主管凯瑟琳·阿什顿星期一前往乌克兰。她计划会晤新的临时领导层，他们希望和欧盟发展更紧密的关系。

乌克兰国内两派分裂，有的支持同欧盟发展关系，有的希望靠拢俄罗斯。去年11月，总统亚努科维奇退出了与欧盟的一项贸易协议，随即引发了抗议风潮，亚努科维奇最终被赶下了台。

星期日，议长亚历山大·图奇诺夫出任乌克兰临时总统。在星期日夜晚的一次讲话中，他特别提到了基辅独立广场的示威，并强调说，乌克兰计划向欧盟靠近。

Ukraine has issued an arrest warrant for ousted president Viktor Yanukovych, accusing him and other officials of mass murder of protesters.

Acting interior minister Arsen Avakhov announced the warrant in a Facebook statement Monday. He said Mr. Yanukovych was last seen in the pro-Russian Crimea region of Ukraine, but the ousted leader's exact whereabouts are not clear.

Meanwhile, European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton travels Monday to Ukraine where she is due to meet with new interim leaders who want their country to forge closer ties with the EU.

There is split support in the country between those who want Ukraine to favor relations with Europe and those who want closer ties with Russia. Ousted president Yanukovych backed out of a trade deal with the EU in November, setting off protests that led to him being kicked out of office.

Parliament speaker Oleksandr Turchynov became Ukraine's interim president Sunday. He highlighted the demonstrations in Kyiv's Independence Square and stressed the plan to embrace the EU in an address Sunday night.
