The ongoing trial of the fugitive ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych returned to the public discourse an issue of who is actually to blame for the Russian seizure of Crimea.
According to Vice Admiral Haiduk, Russian troops that were later involved in the Crimea seizure got to the peninsula by air and sea, while no one coordinated their deployment with the Ukrainian Navy.
Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Parubiy, who was the “Commandant of the Maidan” during the Revolution of Dignity, has said Russian attacks were expected from all directions after the disgraced Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fled from country, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
