“He, Azarov - for two years they lied about the“ European choice ”for the country, brazenly and cynically lied. That they brought the country. I don't communicate with traitors, ”Medvedchuk wrote.

On January 24, a court in Kiev convicted Yanukovych in a case of treason. The ex-president was sentenced in absentia to 13 years in prison. The court stated that the guilt of the former head of state was fully proven.
