The Prosecutor General of Ukraine has considered the interrogation of Yanukovych in video PR campaign by the Kremlin
Moscow. 25 Nov. INTERFAX.RU — the General Prosecutor of Ukraine Yury Lutsenko has declared, that considers today’s questioning in court of former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych on Skype as another PR campaign of the Kremlin on the anniversary of Euromaidan.
“Don’t expect something important from questioning Yanukovych in court. First, this interrogation is initiated by the protection of “Berkut” suspected in the shootings on the Maidan. Secondly, the Russian court immediately made it a condition for the Skype questioning his conduct in late November. Third, in Rostov has taken the entire Kremlin media machine,” wrote the attorney General in his Facebook.
So I personally view this action as another PR action about “the illegitimate Kiev junta” on the anniversary of Euromaidan.Yuri Licenseerror Ukraine
