After fleeing Ukraine, the traitorous president Viktor Yanukovych has appeared in public very rarely. The former president of Ukraine now lives in the aggressor country Russia, already has a new “Mezhyhirya” and even a new name on his passport.
This was reported by investigative journalists from the YouTube channel “Toronto Television”.
The traitor’s new home – Sochi
The author of the investigation, Anatoliy Ostapenko, said that by analyzing Russian state registers, leaked databases, flight details, phone numbers, and social media publications, it was possible to determine that Yanukovych now uses documents in the name of Oleg Mykolayovych Leonov.
The fugitive also has a new luxury house in Sochi. This property is under round-the-clock fortified security by employees of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.
Yanukovych enriched himself anew
During his escape from Ukraine, Yanukovych greedily took out as much of his property as possible. But the former president lost his real estate in Ukraine. However, over the years, his family has acquired luxurious apartments, private estates, and hundreds of hectares of land.
The main locations for these assets have become Sochi, Moscow, and the Moscow region. The property is registered to Yanukovych’s inner circle: his civilian wife Lyubov Polezhay, stepdaughter Maria Sadikova, son Oleksandr Yanukovych, and daughter-in-law.
What is currently known about the traitorous president Yanukovych – latest news
By the way, on January 30, 2026, the US Department of Justice released documents known as the Epstein files, which include numerous mentions of Ukraine and Ukrainian politicians. Among more than 3 million pages of documents, the name of the former fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych appears 47 times.
It should be noted that in March 2026, against the backdrop of military operations by the United States and Israel against Iran, the Russian political and business elite began an urgent evacuation from the Middle East. Elite business jets are used for the return to Moscow, among which a board directly linked to the former fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych has been recorded.
Recall that in September 2025, Russian propaganda media unexpectedly “unearthed” former fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych and showed his video address.
Journalist and publicist Vitaliy Portnikov explained why the Russian Federation “unearthed” Yanukovych. He noted that the Kremlin “unearthed” the long-forgotten Yanukovych not just for fun – with this statement, the Russian Federation wants to show Ukrainians that pro-Russian forces were supposedly not so bad.
