What is the chance Yanukovich returned to the Crimea? That was my first thought when I realized the UN representative was threatened and left the country. Yanukovich is afraid of the UN. He would hide from anyone connected with the UN.
If the militia in the Crimea were able to extricate any global personnel capable of reporting events to a larger community Yanukovich might return to the Crimea. I think that is where he left from. It might be that Russia is getting up to speed about the entanglements of Yanukovich and rather not have him within Moscow for political reasons alone. Russia's economy has leveled out after the scare at Wall Street, President Putin and the Foreign Minister would do anything to prevent another round of that.

of the blacklist Thursday came as leaders of the EU’s 28 member
countries gathered for an emergency summit in Brussels to try to forge a
tough common response to Russia’s incursion into the Crimea.
Most of the 18 individuals affected by the asset freeze
are members of Yanukovich’s inner circle who were involved in the bloody
crackdown on anti-government protesters in Kiev. The blacklist includes
the former head of the security service, prosecutor general, justice
minister and officials with the department of internal affairs....
