There are possibly new tasks waiting for Yanukovych, one should believe the Ukrainian newspaperTruthciting Ukrainian intelligence sources.

– Reinstatement case
The former president triggered the Ukraine crisis in 2014, when he in the election between the EU and Russia chose to sign an agreement with the latter. It created bloody riots in Kyiv, and he was deposed.
According to the newspaper, the information from the intelligence sources indicates that the Kremlin is preparing an operation with the goal that he will be reinstated as president of Ukraine.
Researchers have previously told Dagbladet that Putin’s plan is probably to establish a “sound kingdom” in Ukraine – with a puppet government led by the Kremlin.
– Putin will choose someone who is absolutely loyal to him. He can certainly find that, said chief researcher Tor Bukkvoll at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment (FFI) to Dagbladet Sunday.
According to the chief researcher, it is conceivable that the person in question has already been appointed. It is also conceivable that a name will be relatively unknown to the public.
Who gets the task, does not really matter, Bukkvoll believes.
“Putin will not appoint anyone to think for himself,” he said.
