Ukrainian prosecutors release alleged audio evidence of Russia’s control over Crimea annexation and civil unrest in eastern Ukraine
During the press briefing on Aug 22 General Prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko revealed the proof of high Russian officials’ participation in organization of Crimea annexation and the pro-Russian civil unrest in Donbas, Kharkiv and Odessa in spring 2014.
However the evidence that potentially could have led to an international scandal remained largely unnoticed by the western media and politician because of the questionable timing and manner in which Ukraine’s General Prosecutor's Office presented it.
