Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said that Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Andriy Kliuyev went to the Prosecutor General's Office after a conversation with the president.
“I invited Andriy Petrovych Kliuyev when such reports emerged [regarding Kliuyev’s involvement in the dispersal of the Euromaidan rally on November 30]. He told me what had happened. I asked him: ‘What was your aim, in general?’ He answered: ‘To stabilize the situation. I want to go to the PGO and tell them what I’ve told you. [I am going to] meet with the investigator, [and] withdraw the issue from agenda.’ And he went there,” the president said in an interview with the Ukrainian media on Thursday.
The president also said that the government would not intrude in the investigation into the criminal case on the Euromaidan dispersal on November 30.
“This was not in our interests. I also want to know the truth,” he said.
