At that time, Yanukovych was the head of the administration of the Donetsk region.
“He tried to offer me to sell the Black Sea Television and Radio Company, which I created in my youth. I refused. We had a conversation on a wide range of issues. The communication was specific: for ten words there were seven filler words. He told me his life principles. He said: I am a hunter, if I wounded an animal and did not finish it off, this animal will make a circle and rip my side open.
During a conversation with Alexander Yanukovych on December 3, 2013, I heard the same thing - these are their family principles. That’s why I opposed the agreement with Yanukovych in February 2014,” Senchenko said.
He also said that Yanukovych had a persecution mania even when he was a regional leader.
“He told me for more than an hour that when he comes to Kyiv, he sleeps in a new place every night. He believed that they were trying to kill him, poison him. I got the impression that he had an obsession. Therefore, he decided to flee in February 2014,” Senchenko said.
