“Viktor Fedorovich (Yanukovych) and his associates financed the Right Sector because he was supposedly against Yulia (Tymoshenko). Loss of all reference points... And so he created for himself this force, which then destroyed him. This is how it was in Ukraine, it happened before my eyes. I warned Viktor Fedorovich that this cannot be done, that this will happen,” the agency quotes Lukashenko as saying "Belapan".
“An unconstitutional coup took place. Who is guilty? President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. He is guilty. Only him,” he believes, reports "Belta".
According to the Belarusian president, under Yanukovych in Ukraine, “a system of extortion, bribery, and corruption was created that was simply intolerable.”
“And when the loan was allocated to Ukraine, I said that, of course, we need to help Ukraine, that we cannot maintain such a price for gas. Even then, under Yanukovych, the authorities took advantage of (the high price of gas - editor's note) and created a terrible anti-Russian, anti-Russian position within the country. The majority there already hated the Russians and the president because of high gas prices. And in the east there were such sentiments. And this was created by the authorities. Everywhere there are normal people, but in the family there is a freak, both here and there. There are people to whom you give money, and they don’t care who you fight for,” he added, speaking about the confrontation between the East and West of Ukraine.
