Ukranian President Viktor Yanukovych has fled the city and protestors have entered his personal compound, finding things like a spa, a zoo, and a massive car collection.
The private zoo. Peacocks of course
A day after opposition leaders and the president signed a peace agreement, Yanukovych left Kiev, CNN reports opposition leader Vitali Klitschko said.
"Unfortunately, President Yanukovych who did not hear the people has withdrawn from his constitutional duties himself," Klitschko said. "And today he has already left the capital. Millions of citizens see only one option in the current situation -- it is calling the early presidential election."
Presidential pigs in their element
Washington's Channel 4 correspondent Matt Frei tweeted many photos from the compound.
Every President needs one of these

According to CNN, Yanukovych had fled for the city of Kharkiv, the second largest in the country, for a meeting after the peace agreement was signed.
This is the house the president never wanted his people to see

Inside the presidential spa - the hat says "main banya (sauna) attendant", wonder who will be using it now?
The President's greenhouse. This one is only for flowers and banana trees
Dozens of people entered the compound after Yanukovych fled.

Though some reports said that Yanukovych resigned, he said on television that he would be continuing his presidency.
