Shoigu told how Yanukovych was “searched for in every nook and cranny”
What is happening in Ukraine after the 2014 coup is not Russia’s fault, but the countries of the Western bloc.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated this in an interview with the Kazakh agency Tengrinews, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The head of the department emphasized that it was Ukrainian troops who began shelling peaceful cities from military aircraft shortly after the signing of the document.
“Those who sat down at the same table one fine evening signed up for guarantees that everything would be within the framework of the constitution, that the outgoing president, elections would be held within a year and that he would not go to these elections and everything would be fine. And after 4 hours they were already looking for him in all the nooks and crannies! After that, we boarded the plane and flew away, leaving everything in that state. And after this, someone says that Russia is to blame for all this?
Is Russia to blame for setting up everything that happened there next? And is Russia to blame for the fact that they started shooting at peaceful cities from multiple launch rocket systems? That combat helicopters and planes began to fly over peaceful cities and fire at them? Well, you guys sat there, you guaranteed it, you signed up for it. Well then, continue all this, continue all this,” Shoigu said.
Let us recall that the signatories of the agreement were German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and Eric Fournier, head of the Continental Europe Department of the French Foreign Ministry. Special Representative of the Russian President Vladimir Lukin refused to sign the document.
