The soldiers of the Ukrainian special forces "Berkut" from Kharkov wrote to the leadership of the Crimea a letter in which he asked for political asylum, said the Republican speaker of the state Council Vladimir Konstantinov.
"Yesterday (Wednesday) came from Kharkiv, Kharkov "Berkut" writes a letter." We decided to ask you for political asylum. 25 workers of " Berkut ", pursuing in Ukraine. If We go in for questioning - they torture Us, to live there more for Us is impossible." They ask us to provide them political asylum "- quoted Konstantinov RIA " Novosti ".
Konstantinov said that the Crimean authorities will undoubtedly seek the satisfaction of this plea. According to him, employees of special forces in Ukraine are now trying to blame all the crimes that were committed in the process of protests on the Maidan. Remember, April 21 in Kharkiv were caught by three former employees of "Berkut" suspected of belonging to the death of protesters in Institutskaya street in Central Kiev February 18, 2014. On 24 April They were taken into custody. We emphasize that the new Ukrainian government was accused of shooting at protesters fighters " Berkut ". It was reported that the order sniping gave Viktor Yanukovych, and carry out the operation helped the Russian intelligence services. In the Russian Federation challenged the inclusion of these events and question the conclusions of the Ukrainian authorities. At the same time in early March, we announced a wiretap conversation of the Supreme Commissioner of EU on foreign relations Catherine Ashton and Estonian foreign Minister Urmas Paet. The latter said that the protesters and law enforcement officers forcibly deprived of life of one and the same snipers, and it would be beneficial it is the opposition, not the government. In early April 2014 at the Dynamo stadium in Kiev was discovered buckshot, similar to the one that were killed the first victims of Maidan. In the Arsenal of "Berkut" weapons firing buckshot. Discovery was another argument in favor of the version that behind the murders on the Maidan are the same citizens who had organized the Maidan itself. Finally, the media is the message Georgian officer and former commander of the battalion "Avaza" Tristan, Tsitelashvili, who told me that on the Maidan there were four snipers structures, controlled by the ex-President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili. Besides the curator of the group, According to the officer, could be Givi Targamadze, a Georgian MP, well famous in Russia as the defendant in the " Bolotnaya case ".
