Prosecutor General said that all papers Ukraine received were recognized by the United Nations (UN) as official documents, which had been provided by the Russian Federation.
“The investigators from the military prosecutor’s office received irrefutable documentary evidence of Yanukovych’s treason. I received the permit for the publication of data obtained in a pre-trial investigation from a senior prosecutor in the case of Yanukovych treason,” added the prosecutor general.
