The Kyiv Court of Appeal upheld the complaint of former President Viktor Yanukovych to refuse to recognize him as a victim of an assassination attempt.
Yanukovych's lawyer Igor Fedorenko announced this.
"The Court of Appeal upheld the defense complaint and ordered the Pechersk district court to consider a complaint against the actions of an investigator who did not want to recognize Viktor Yanukovych a victim in a criminal proceeding," he said.
Earlier it was reported that Viktor Yanukovych declared an attempt to assassinate him after escaping from Kiev in February 2014. According to the ex-president, his procession and car of the ex-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Volodymyr Rybak was shelled by the unknowns. Later, the ex-president claimed to come to the territory of Ukraine to attend the meetings of the Obolonsky district court in Kiev to consider case of his state treason charge after the Prosecutor General's Office investigates claims of an assassination attempt.
