According to him, it is obvious that former President Viktor Yanukovych had nothing to do with the executions of people on the Maidan in February 2014.
“Quite recently I had to communicate with people close to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In private, they say: “We understand that Yanukovych had nothing to do with this, that, in fact, there were completely different people there, but for political reasons, we cannot voice this.” Now, after the aggravation of the situation between the radicals and the current government, the authorities are trying to use this particular clue, version, get it and look differently at the tragic events of February last year. That is, we can say that we are now witnessing the “Night of the Long Knives” stretched out in time. That is, the elimination of the most radical elements from the political arena,” Bondarenko said.
