The Verkhovna Rada intends to instruct the Prosecutor General's Office and the SBU to investigate information about the purchase of weapons in Sevastopol for transfer to supporters of one of the presidential candidates for self-defense. This was stated today after the conciliation council of faction and group leaders by Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Lytvyn, reports a «proUA» correspondent.
The speaker noted that the information that People's Deputy Hryhoriy Omelchenko announced yesterday on the air of the «Era» television company had been raised repeatedly at the conciliation council. Lytvyn said that at the moment it is difficult to assess the disclosed information, since, according to him, there is no evidence yet. At the same time, he believes that the Prosecutor General's Office and the SBU, which will verify the information, must prevent steps that could destabilize the situation in Ukraine.
