Ukraine’s parliament has voted overwhelmingly to send Viktor Yanukovych and others before the International Criminal Court for “serious crimes”.<br /><br /> MPs passed a resolution linking the ousted president to police violence against protesters which caused the deaths of more than 100 people.<br /><br /> As Maidan continues to mourn the victims, the resolution said the former interior minister and prosecutor-general should also be sent to The Hague.<br /><br /> The country’s acting president has warned of “dangerous signs of separatism” in parts of the country, amid anger at the removal of Yanukovych, who is now on the run.<br /><br /> The comments by Oleksandr Turchynov echo those of some MPs who have voiced fears that Ukraine could split because of anger in the east and south at recent events. <br /><br /> In regions such as the Crimean peninsula, where Yanukovych was reportedly seen on Sunday, as many as 60 percent of the population are ethnic Russians.<br /><br /> Some 20,000 turned out at another rally in Sevastopol on Monday, chanting “Russia” as they called for secession from Ukraine.<br /><br /> The previous day saw an even bigger demonstration.<br /><br /> Moscow has demanded that the protesters’ views be taken into account, denouncing the methods of Ukraine’s newly-emerging authorities as “dictatorial” and occasionally “terrorist”. <br /><br /> Turchynov said a new “national unity” government should be in place on Thursday.<br /><br /> A parliamentary vote has been put off until then to allow consultations to continue.
