“I am glad Yanukovych wants to return. The sentence for state treason along with an indictment for the organization of shootings during Maidan are waiting for him here,” he noted.
“Verkhovna Rada voted “against” prolongation of the trial in absentia twice. Therefore, we are waiting for Yanukovych with convoy and handcuffs,” Prosecutor General concluded.
