Brussels, March 7 (RHC)-- A leaked phone call has bolstered claims anti-government forces were actually behind sniper attacks on protesters in Kiev last month.

Both sides of Ukraine’s political divide blamed the other when dozens of people were killed by gunfire in the weeks before the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovich. But in an intercepted phone call between Estonia’s Foreign Minister, Urmas Paet, and European Union policy chief Catherine Ashton, Paet says the sniper fire came from the opposition.

The Estonian foreign minister said that it was "quite disturbing" to see evidence that "people who were killed by snipers from both sides among policemen and then people from the street, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides."

The foreign minister of Estonia said that "there is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers it was not Yanukovich, but it was somebody from the new coalition" -- adding that the new government is refusing to investigate the deaths leading up to the 'regime change.' Many believe this only further indicts the new authorities in Ukraine.
