The phone conversation features Estonian foreign minister Urmas Paet telling EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton her suspicions regarding sniper attacks on protestors that took place in Kiev in February.

According to the description of the related video uploaded on YouTube, the call was taped by officers of the Ukrainian secret services (SBU), loyal to Yanukovich.

My Comment: Not surprising .... the Russian government is using this leaked phone call to discredit the new Ukraine government. What's my take .... I was not there .... but I do know that scores of protestors were killed .... as well as 20 policemen. My cousin's daughter was near the Maidan during the bloodiest day of the protest .... and she told me that a number of the protestors were armed. My guess is that both sides started to shoot at each other .... hence resulting in the bloodshed that happened that day. In short .... both sides are guilty.
