From RFE/RL's news desk:
A top U.S. diplomat says the United States is helping Ukraine comb through a "treasure trove" of documents recovered from the government of ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in order to prosecute corrupt officials.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said Department of Justice officials were helping to "exploit" the documents so that law enforcement authorities can make cases against "corrupt officials both in Ukrainian courts and in international courts."
Nuland was speaking on April 9 at a congressional committee hearing on the situation in Ukraine.
Yanukovych opponents seized potentially incriminating documents after his government collapsed in late February, including hundreds left behind at his lavish residence outside Kyiv.
Many of the documents were found floating in a reservoir near the grounds, an apparent attempt by Yanukovych’s fleeing aides to destroy them.
