Professor of Law Mikhail Sawa, chairman of the council of the Sova expert group, doubts that Yanukovych really got injured. But, be that as it may, this circumstance will allow the accused and lawyers to delay the sentencing as much as possible and arrange so that the sentence is not announced on the anniversary of Euromaidan - November 21.

"I think that the team of Yanukovych and Moscow will delay the sentencing for as long as possible. I think that they want to move away in time away from the anniversary of the Revolution of Dignity, so that the public resonance of the sentence is less, ”the lawyer said in an interview with Radio Liberty.

The international judge Vladimir Vasilenko, in turn, agreed that the new circumstances delay the process. At the same time, the judge is convinced that no procedural cunning will affect the outcome of the process..

"Yanukovych will speak at the trial on the eve of the beginning of the Maidan, will not speak - this in fact will not affect the final result of the process. I do not see any danger here, ”Vasilenko is convinced.
