Ukrainian television linked Putin to the death of Yanukovych’s son
Kyiv, March 30 (PolitNavigator, Maxim Karpenko) – The youngest son of Viktor Yanukovych could have been killed deliberately. Ex-People's Deputy from the Party of Regions Taras Chernovol, who headed Yanukovych's election headquarters during the Orange Revolution, stated this on air on the ICTV channel.

Chernovol assures that Yanukovych Jr. could have been used as a way to put pressure on his father, the former president of Ukraine, who, according to the ex-deputy, when fleeing Ukraine, took a large amount of cash to one of the Arab countries, and not to Russia.
To prove this, ICTV emphasizes that Yanukovych’s son could not move around the Russian Federation without escort from the special services, and the refusal of his companions to rush to help on the ice of Lake Baikal looks suspicious.
“I don’t think he wanted to part with this cash so easily. I am convinced that there was pressure, including physical pressure. What if he does not return this money to Russia for Putin’s needs, then they could use a specific counterargument - the murder of his son,” states Chernovol.
The ICTV channel is owned by oligarch Viktor Pinchuk, son-in-law of ex-President Leonid Kuchma. Pinchuk held “Yalta European Strategy” forums for several years, while his Interpipe corporation made money by selling pipes in Russia. Recently, the Russian market has been closed to Pinchuk.
