Poroshenko demands report on investigation into Maidan crimes

The President stated this in an interview with Ukrainian TV channels. "I am not happy with the report on the hundreds of prosecuted... I demand that the law enforcement agencies, starting from Monday, report in the following form: Who bit the students on October 30? Surnames. Who bit the journalists and activists on Bankova Street on December 1? Who ordered to storm the Maidan on December 15? And the most important question, who is responsible for the murders?" the President said. According to Poroshenko, the trials over the Maidan events last too long. "If you need the political decision, then vote in the Verkhovna Rada, the President signs – that’s it. However, we want trials. How long did the trials in Croatia last? Eleven years. How long did the trials in other countries, including the International Tribunal in The Hague last? But I will not wait eleven or many years. We need to know the answer now," Poroshenko said.
