This was stated by the former deputy commander of the fleet for coastal defense at that time, and now the commander of the Ukrainian Navy, Igor Voronchenko, during an interrogation in the case of “Yanukovych’s treason,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, the plan he proposed at the end of February 2014 was not accepted by the command of the Ukrainian army.
“I reported to Lieutenant General Eliseev, who turned out to be an adviser, and as a result, my proposal remained unfulfilled. I had two tanks ready, which, according to the plan, I tried, if the plan had been accepted, to move them to Gvardeiskoye. They could have been shot, as the Russian president did in 1993. If there had not been an assault on the building that was captured,” Voronchenko said.
