The prosecutor insisted that the results of monitoring telephone calls from Yanukovych’s personal numbers indicate such contacts.
Yanukovych responded by saying that he did not have a personal cell phone, and that phones were usually kept by his assistants.
“I don’t remember and doubt that the conversation with Putin took place. I very rarely called anyone myself. Usually my assistants did this,” Yanukovych said.
He suggested that the prosecutor track the official website of the President of Ukraine, where all telephone conversations of the head of state were displayed.
The prosecutor continued to insist that he was right, citing the number from which Yanukovych preferred to make calls to his son.
The judge was forced to reprimand the prosecutor and urge him not to read out the case materials, but to clearly ask questions to Yanukovych.
