“If the Kiev regime began to use the army against the population inside the country, then this, without any doubt, is a very serious crime. If these people have moved to the so-called acute phase - this is not some kind of acute phase, it is simply a punitive operation - and it will certainly have consequences for those people who make decisions of this kind, including our interstate relations." , Putin said on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
At the same time, Putin once again stated that Moscow considers Viktor Yanukovych a legitimate president, and the current leadership of Ukraine, on the contrary, came to power illegally.
