Moscow cannot have anything to do with Maidain snipers case – Lavrov

Moscow does not and cannot have anything to do with the case over the snipers who spotted and killed people on Kiev’s Independence Square in February, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday.

“Crimes were committed on the Ukrainian territory, not in Russia, and we didn’t have anything to do with them and just couldn’t have anything to do,” he said.

“We didn’t get any requests (regarding a joint investigation - ITAR-TASS) - from those who used the events of February 20 as a pretext for seizing power and organizing a constitutional coup,” Lavrov said.
