MOSCOW (Reuters) - Ukraine's deposed president Viktor Yanukovich called on Friday for each of the country's regions to hold a referendum on its status within Ukraine, instead of presidential elections planed for May 25, Russia's state Itar-Tass news agency reported.
"As a president who is with you with all my thoughts and soul, I urge every sensible citizen of Ukraine: Don't give in to impostors! Demand a referendum on the status of each region within Ukraine," Yanukovich, who fled to Russia last month, was quoted as saying in an address to the people of Ukraine.
