He also stressed that at a meeting with the soldiers of the special forces "Berkut" he brought his apologies to them. At the end of the press conference, Yanukovych turned to the new authorities of Ukraine. He called them to stop the excesses, because everything will have to be held responsible.
“The end is already clear. The people of Ukraine will never agree with you to live in such a country together. Therefore, I want to say: go away and do not allow even greater lawlessness and grief to the Ukrainian people, ”he said.
It is not reported yet what Viktor Yanukovych intends to announce at a meeting with journalists on Tuesday.
