The U.S. Government has expressed its concern to the Ukrainian government over the selective prosecution of political opponents.
"U.S. Government does not comment on the specifics of individual cases, we have raised with the Ukrainian government our concern that while corruption should be pursued, prosecution should not be selective or politically motivated," the U.S. government said in a statement made public by the U.S. embassy in Ukraine.
"In that context, we also raised our concern that when, with few exceptions, the only senior officials being targeted are connected with the previous government, it gives the appearance of selective prosecution of political opponents," the U.S. Government said in a statement.
