KIEV, March 06. /ITAR-TASS/. Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office on Friday initiated criminal proceedings against Ukraine’s ousted President Viktor Yanukovych on charges of seizing state power in 2010, the Office’s press service reports.

Prosecutors have classified Yanukovych’s actions as an attempt to change and overthrow constitutional order and seize state power.

The Prosecutor General’s Office claims that in 2010 Yanukovych amended Ukraine’s Constitution in an unconstitutional way that allowed him to seize state power.
