The Ukrainian Parliament voted Saturday to oust President Viktor F. Yanukovych after weeks of antigovernment protests and violent clashes with the military. Protesters claimed to have established control of the capital city, while Mr. Yanukovych called the events a “coup” in a television interview on Saturday.

President Obama condemned the violence in Ukraine this week. Protesters say more than 70 people have been killed. But Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, criticized Mr. Obama’s approach, calling him “the most naïve president in history” in a radio interview on Thursday.

Mr. McCain will weigh in again on the president’s foreign policy and the situation in Ukraine on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Susan E. Rice, the national security advisor, will give the administration’s position on developments in Ukraine and Mr. Obama’s relationship with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

On “Fox News Sunday,” Senators Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, and Kelly Ayotte, Republican of New Hampshire will also discuss the Ukrainian protests.

The National Governors’ Association held its winter meeting this weekend in Washington, and Mr. Obama pushed minimum wage raises in a meeting with Democratic governors on Friday. Several governors will extend the conversation on the Sunday shows. Gov. Scott Walker, Republican of Wisconsin, and Gov.

CNN will host four governors on “State of the Union,” including Gov. Mike Pence, Republican of Indiana, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, Democrat of Connecticut, Gov. Rick Perry, Republican of Texas, and Gov.
