A criminal case on beating of a young woman by Roman Landik, a member of Luhansk City Council and the son of member of the Party of Regions faction at Ukraine's parliament Volodymyr Landik, is monitored by the Prosecutor General's Office and will be properly investigated, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said.
"I know that a criminal case has been open, it is controlled by the Prosecutor General’s Office. I talked to the prosecutor general yesterday morning. The case will certainly be properly investigated," he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday.
Speaking about the moral aspect of the matter, Yanukovych said: "Shame to the man, who raises his hand on a woman. He has certainly let down his father, who is having a hard time."
Yanukovych also predicted that the case would be investigated quickly.
