I don't disagree, but there are arrest warrants out for the entire Yanukovich cabinet. You can't charge someone with mass-murder while refusing to investigate the crime, unless your name is Robespierre.
There are videos when it is clear the Berkut is shooting, and at whom, and people are dying.
Militant tryzubs getting killed in gunfights with police is one thing, snipers shooting unarmed protesters huddled on the ground is quite another, but I think you know that.
Then why Yanukovith refused to schedule early elections?
He was following the Ukrainian Constitution...I know a quaint notion these days.
The Yanuk regime lost all legitimacy when they used militarized police on the demonstrations in December - January.
I disagree. In fact the Party of Regions won five Parliamentary elections in January, so it was quite clear the Maidan rabble didn't have a national mandate to overthrow Yanukovitch.
Yes, if the government is serious about charging Yuanuk and his gang, it will have to review the allegation about the sniper, — his defense will bring that up. But it is not up to an Estonian minister to dictate to them when.
Constitution is important but also living people are important. Clearly, the country was in a profound crisis and his response to it was Berkut.
Party of Regions, for the most part, deserted Yuanuk. I do not dispute he was once elected, but his behavior during the Maidan exposed him as a criminal character.
