He also said that he recalls his lawyers. On Wednesday evening, July 5, the former Ukrainian president made a video message on the air of one of the Russian TV channels.
According to him, "to take part" in the allegedly adversarial process, the outcome of which is predetermined, "he does not intend, since in the country" the destroyed justice and lawyers are powerless ".
At the same time, Yanukovych called the Ukrainian court "pure profanity" and said that in Ukraine "he will strive to make a guilty verdict at any cost".
All possible principles and norms of law are violated, the Constitution of Ukraine is grossly violated, procedural norms are completely ignored, - said Yanukovich.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, Ukraine's Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko said that Ukraine guarantees the former president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych sufficient protection that he personally was present in court.
