Prosecutor General’s Office has no materials on Russian trace in shooting on Maidan
The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine has no materials on the Russian trace in the shooting of the Heavenly Hundred.
Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Shokin said this in an interview with the “Facts” Ukrainian newspaper.
“If you remember, ex-chief SBU Valentyn Nalyvaichenko once said that allegedly some Russian official had been in Kyiv in winter 2014 and had given orders to security officers to shoot at protesters. I asked Nalyvaichenko to provide at least some documents to prove that. We still do not have them,” the Prosecutor General said.
According to him, the Prosecutor General’s Office does not have the materials from which conclusion of the Russian trace in the shooting of the Heavenly Hundred could be drawn.
“Not because we can not or do not want to prove it, we just have no reason for making such statements,” Shokin added.
As a reminder, February 20, 2015, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko said that Russian president’s aide to Vladislav Surkov had led the foreign sniper groups at the Kyiv’s Independence Square in February 2014. According to the former chief of the SBU, the three groups of officers of the Federal Security Service of Russia arrived in Kyiv in December 2013 – February 2014 to organize crackdown on Euromaidan activists.
