**Ukraine’s Ex-President Found Guilty**
A Ukrainian court has made a big decision. It found former President Viktor Yanukovych guilty of high treason. This means he was involved in activities that went against the best interests of Ukraine.
Yanukovych is not present at the court. He fled the country after protests called Euromaidan took place in 2014. The protests were against his government’s decision to reject a deal with the European Union and instead partner with Russia.
The court decided Yanukovych should be punished for his actions. He has been sentenced to 13 years in prison. This is seen as a significant move towards holding those responsible accountable for Ukraine’s history.
