Didn’t know that. But doesn’t he also write articles / conduct interviews – he’s not simply ‘behind the scenes’.

Mr. Yanukovych was one of the few dictators visited personally by prime minister Joseph Muscat since he took office in March 2013. The delegations from both sides pictured here in Kiev:

The Ukrainian Parliament has today voted to have Mr. Yanukovych tried at the International Criminal Court.

Mr. Yanukovych is the one pictured on the left here:

Reminds me that after a visit to the Ukraine recently, Maltese foreign affairs minister George Vella said that the situation in Kiev was extremely calm, there were no signs of a revolution, and that he only saw a few young people demonstrating peacefully.

Can Opposition MPs raise a Parliamentary Question to the government on whether Mr. Yanukovych or members of his family were among the applicants for, or those granted, a Maltese EU passport?
