Jan 28: In concessions to the opposition, the prime minister resigns and Parliament repeals the anti-protest laws that set off the violence.

Feb 18: Protesters attack police lines and set fires outside Parliament after it stalls on a constitutional reform that would have limited presidential powers.

Feb 20: Hours after a truce is announced, violence resumes. Most of the total 82 deaths occur on this day.

Feb 21: Under a European-mediated plan, protest leaders and Yanukovych agree to form a new government and hold an early election. Parliament cuts presidential powers and votes to free Yanukovych's rival, Yulia Tymoshenko, from prison. Yanukovych flees Kiev after protesters take control.

Feb 22: Parliament votes to remove Yanukovych and hold new elections. Tymoshenko is freed and addresses tens of thousands on the Maidan.

Feb 26: Leaders of Ukraine's protest movement propose legislator Arseniy Yatsenyuk as prime minister. In Moscow, Putin orders major military exercises just across the border.

Feb 28: Ukraine says Russian troops have taken up positions at strategic locations on the Crimean peninsula. Parliament adopts a resolution demanding that Russia halt moves that undermine Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Acting president Oleksandr says he has put armed forces on full readiness because of the threat of "potential aggression".

March 1: Russian troops take over Crimea without firing a shot. The Kiev government and its Western supporters are powerless to react. US President Barack Obama calls Putin to demand the troops' withdrawal. - AP
