All violent crimes and murders of participants in the Revolution of Dignity in 2013-2014 were committed by Ukrainian law enforcement officers on the orders of the Ukrainian authorities and under the influence of Russia.

"If someone would like to hear that there were Russian snipers, Russian law enforcement officers on the Maidan, then there is no such thing. This is a nice version that is not based on real facts. Ukrainian law enforcement officers killed and committed violent crimes, they received instructions from the Ukrainian authorities," Head of the Maidan Affairs department of the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) Oleksiy Donsky said at a briefing in Kyiv on Monday.

According to him, the crimes were committed by the hands of Ukrainian law enforcement officers, but "Russia had a huge influence on the adoption of these decisions, on the entire course of events that took place during the Revolution of Dignity."

Donsky said specific factors of this influence exist at the level of evidence that will be presented in court.

Speaking about the influence on the organizers of crimes at the lower and middle levels, Donsky spoke about the suspicion of 20 employees of the FSB of Russia and employees of the SBU, "who collaborated together in information activities."

This was not a purely propaganda activity, but in fact a way of legitimizing those illegal actions that were organized by the Ukrainian authorities and committed by Ukrainian law enforcement officers.

"Some 20 FSB officers, including five generals, came to Ukraine several times and, together with SBU officers, produced relevant information materials, which became the basis for committing certain criminal actions," the head of the PGO Maidan Affairs department said.
