People and journalists Monday entered the house of Ukraine's former prosecutor general Viktor Pshonka in the village of Gorenichy outside Kiev.

In the latest development in Ukraine, the country issued an arrest warrant Monday for its ousted pro-Russian president over "mass murder" and appealed for US$35 billion in Western aid as Moscow denounced Kiev's new reformist team as illegitimate, Reuters reported.

The dramatic announcements -- approved by parliament over a chaotic weekend that saw president Viktor Yanukovych go into hiding -- came as the EU's top diplomat arrived in Kiev to buttress Ukraine's sudden tilt away from Russia.

Three months of relentless protests over Yanukovych's shock decision to spurn an historic pact with the European Union in favour of closer ties with Ukraine's old masters in the Kremlin culminated in days of carnage last week in Kiev that claimed almost 100 lives.
