Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Andriy Kliuyev has described all accusations against him regarding his alleged involvement in the violent dispersal of pro-European demonstrators on November 30 as a "political drama," and he is sure that his deputy, Volodymyr Sivkovych, also has nothing to do with these events.

“My deputy also has nothing to do with this process. These are
manifestations of a political drama,” he said in an interview with
reporters from Germany’s ARD television channel and Berliner Zeitung
newspaper.

Kliuyev said that he had arrived at the Prosecutor General’s Office on his own so that “there was no misunderstanding.”

“I answered all questions, and then there was a statement by the
Prosecutor General’s Office that I have nothing to do with these
events,” he said.

He also added: “But due to the fact that there is a political
interest, of course, some politicians are trying to accuse me of
something, somehow get me involved in this issue.”
