'Huge Amounts of Evidence' Contradict Kiev Sniper Claims, Says Lavrov
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday said there was a large amount of evidence to contradict claims by Kiev that Ukraine's former authorities used snipers to kill scores in February.
The version of events announced by Kiev Thursday "contradicts huge amounts of evidence that proves the contrary," Lavrov said, mentioning a leaked telephone call in which the European Union's foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton discussed the possible involvement of the Ukrainian opposition in the shootings.
"The truth must be established transparently and fully," Lavrov said.
