"The actions that were undertaken in Ukraine today to block the court session have the same masterminds who, in our opinion, have a direct connection with the crimes committed on the Maidan," he said.
"My main error was that I failed or didn't find enough ability in myself to sign a decree on brining in troops and introducing martial law," he said.
"This was the only way to stop the radical forces but I didn't resort to bloodletting," Yanukovich said. "It may be really difficult to admit the fact to day, but I wouldn't have able to sign this (decree) and if we go back, I'm obliged to say I couldn't do it today either."
Yanukovich has demanded investigation of crimes committed against law enforcers killed during Maidan riots in the winter of 2014.
"Why are the cases of those who were protecting law and order not investigated? All know that shooting was conducted from the buildings controlled by Maidan activists. How can these events be considered separately? Some cases are investigated, others - not. Some are proclaimed heroes, others - on the contrary," he told reporters.

"Naturally, there were no such orders. I am principally against bloodshed," he told a news conference on Friday.
