In his commentary to Tiras, Albusaid: “I was called in for questioning as a witness in the case ofMay 2. It was March 26 from 12.00 to 21.30 and then on March 27 from 9:30 to 11:00. But there are so many facts to report that I intend to visit the ICagain.”
The Ukrainian politician notedthat “investigators are working at the highest level, but in the ICthere are difficulties — to question the maximum number of people is extremely difficult because of the lack of opportunity to call witnesses to Moscow or to go to those regions of Russia where the participants of the May events now live.
“If I understood correctly, the ICdoes not providefor witnesses’cost of travel to Moscow. Many who want theopportunity to testify simply cannot. Not everyone can fly to Moscow to testify at their own expense.
“I hope that the leadership of the ICwillbe able to resolve this issue. Perhapsby sendinginvestigators toSimferopol and other cities in Russia where there are people who suffered during May 2 and haveinvaluable information.”
