Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko said he had received a letter from the Russian Prosecutor General's Office (PGO), which stated that Viktor Yanukovych signed a decree on withdrawal of Ukrainian citizenship for 590 prosecutors in Rostov-on-Don in March 2014.

Lutsenko wrote on his Facebook page that thanks to the official letter from the Russian PGO Ukrainian investigators received strong evidence against 229 former Ukrainian prosecutors who have been deemed suspects.

"Now we have all the data about another 291 traitors," the prosecutor general said.

Lutsenko said he had to disappoint the Russian Prosecutor General's Office and Yanukovych because "the original presidential decree in addition to the signature should have an official stamp. Fortunately, Yanukovych forgot to steal it."
