In other news from Ukraine, a leaked phone call has bolstered claims anti-government forces were behind sniper attacks on protesters in Kiev last month. Both sides of Ukraine’s political divide blamed the other when dozens of people were killed by gunfire in the weeks before the ouster of Russian-backed President Viktor Yanukovich. But in an intercepted phone call between Estonia’s Foreign Minister, Urmas Paet, and European Union policy chief Catheron Ashton, Paet says the sniper fire came from the opposition.
Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet: "What was quite disturbing — the same Olga told that, well, all the evidence shows that people who were killed by snipers from both sides among policemen and then people from the street, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides."
EU Foreign Policy Chief Catheron Ashton: "Well, that’s ... yes."
Info Democracy NowEstonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet: "She also showed me some photos, she said that, as medical doctor, she can say that it is the same handwriting, the same type of bullet and it’s really disturbing that now the new coalition, that they don’t want to investigate what exactly happened so that there is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers it was not Yanukovich, but it was somebody from the new coalition."
