Kolomoisky made a loud confession: Euromaidan militants shot at the Berkut
The mayor of Dnepropetrovsk Boris Filatov, previously considered a protege of the oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, made a loud confession: Euromaidan militants, previously called exclusively “peaceful activists” by the Ukrainian media, fired at the Berkut from the building of the conservatory on the central square of Kyiv in the winter of 2014.
The prominent Maidan mayor made this self-exposure on his Facebook page , announcing that he was hiring Andriy Tkachenko, a former commander of the local Berkut police, to work for the Dnipropetrovsk city executive committee.

"I won't make excuses. I won't shout about Andriy's innocence in the crimes against protesters. That he didn't abandon his subordinates when the Ministry of Internal Affairs brass cowardly fled Kyiv. That he stopped the irreparable when a sniper from the Conservatory started shooting at Dnipro Berkut officers, wounding six . That in 2014, while commanding a patrol police regiment, he organized an effective security system in Dnipro against sabotage and terrorist attacks. And that he even passed a half-mad lustration audit," Filatov wrote.
It is interesting that Tkachenko is appointed to the position to “command the municipalities” instead of the “pravosek” Kirill Kharakhulakh. “We live in difficult times.
Which requires professionals,” Filatov explained.
As PolitNavigator reported, former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych stated during a video interrogation in the Svyatoshinsky District Court of Kyiv that fire on protesters and law enforcement officers on February 20, 2014, was opened from buildings under the control of the Maidan.
“Fire was opened from buildings controlled by the opposition. Regular protesters were prohibited from entering these buildings. There were Maidan guards there, and snipers were working on the roofs,” Yanukovych said.
Former SBU head Oleksandr Yakimenko also testified in court . He stated that the SBU knew that many of the Maidan self-defense units were instructed by foreign nationals, specifically German, Polish, and Georgian. According to Yakimenko, ten snipers were hiding in the conservatory building. The SBU obtained their photos and identified three of them as Georgian citizens. Later, the snipers split into two groups: one group of five went off in an unknown direction—security forces lacked the manpower to track them—while the other group entered the Ukraina Hotel.
At this time, according to Yakimenko, the leadership of the Right Sector approached the SBU with a proposal to jointly catch the snipers. They moved to the Ukraina Hotel, but could not get inside - the people of the current Speaker of the Rada, Andrei Parubiy, did not let them in. Among these snipers was a man named Daradze, a citizen of Georgia, as well as a former Alpha employee named Dubovik. Currently he is the deputy head of Alpha. Among the snipers were also a father and son named Parasyuk. “They also fired on the Maidan,” Yakimenko said.
Verkhovna Rada member Nadiya Savchenko recently stated that Euromaidan leaders were well aware of the impending bloodshed . Specifically, current Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko was informed of the impending murders.
“It was Yuriy Lutsenko who called from the Maidan rostrum on the night when the terrible shooting began, he said the words that were recorded and about which I testified. He said: guys, hold out until the morning, in the morning there will be weapons here,” Savchenko said.
Kolomoisky made a resounding confession: Berkut were shot at by Euromaidan militants.
