The lawyer said this during a meeting of Obolonsky district court of Kiev.
According to the defender of the former leader of the Ukrainian country, he can not take part in these trials.
In the opinion of the prosecutor, the only reason for a lawyer's self-challenge is the recognition of incompetence in the consideration of the process.
"This statement by the defender is nothing more than an attempt to disrupt the process," said the prosecutor.
In connection with the application of the lawyer, the court retired to the advisory room.
Recall that, as previously reported, "URA-Inform," the former permanent representative of Ukraine in the United Nations, Yuri Sergeyev confirmed that the signature on the appeal to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on the introduction of troops in Ukraine belongs to former President Viktor Yanukovych.
