REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MOSCOW - A Russian official is quoted as saying that Moscow has accepted the plea of fugitive Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych who had asked for protection.

Three Russian news agencies quoted the unnamed official saying that Yanukovych's request for protection "was satisfied on the territory of Russia."

Yanukovych, who fled from Ukraine's capital Kiev last week, said in the Thursday statement that he still considers himself to be the legitimate leader.
