According
to an UNIAN correspondent, he claimed this in an interview with
journalists near the Prosecutor’s General Office, were he came to give
evidence of being poisoned.
Victor Yushchenko said that, with his
presence in the prosecutor’s office, he wants to show that he is
extremely interested in completing the investigation as soon as
possible.
“I know that the prosecutor’s office has been working
on this case very actively, not for 10, and even not for 20 hours a
day. I guess we will see a logical completion of the case”, the
President said.
He stressed that, as a victim, he is ready to provide any information necessary for the Prosecutor’s General Office.
Victor
Yushchenko pointed out he knows certain information about the course of
the investigation, but would not like to unveil it today in order not
to hamper the investigation.
Asked why he had not been summoned
to interrogation for three years, and whether it may be assessed as a
sabotage of the Prosecutor’s General Office, Victor Yushchenko recalled
that he gave the first evidence as early as in 2005.
“I think
this question should be addressed to the prosecutor’s office. I want
just to stress that all the moments when my presence was necessary… I,
from my side, guarantee a punctual presence”, the President of Ukraine
said.
At the same time, Victor Yushchenko refused to forecast
when the investigation may be completed, having reiterated that he is
interested in its termination as quick as possible.
Commenting
on demand of journalists on the information that SBU ex-chief Volodymyr
Satsiuk received Russian citizenship, Victor Yushchenko said: “All of
them will be Russian citizens”.
As UNIAN reported earlier, on 5
September 2004, the Ukrainian President, being a presidential
candidate, felt ill and was hospitalized to the Viennese based
Rudolfinerhouse hospital. Physicians of the hospital stated that
Yushchenko was poisoned with dioxin.
