Ukrainian independent MP Viktor Baloha has denied having anything to do with the events in Mukacheve and has accused the Ukrainian government of orchestrated the situation.

“I refute all the speculation about my interest in this matter,” Baloha said at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine on July 23.

According to him, the incident in Mukacheve “is of a much larger scale” than people have been led to believe.

“Right Sector was used as a tool in the planned operation… The plan was orchestrated by Kyiv,” Baloha said.
