Viktor Yanukovych, who has declared his legitimacy as president of Ukraine, believes that the country's Verkhovna Rada is illegitimate, RIA Novosti reported.
"I think that the Verkhovna Rada is illegitimate and still believe that the agreement (for settlement), which hasn't been fulfilled, provided if it had been implemented, or if it will be implemented, would be able to significantly calm the situation and to begin the legal process of settlement of the political crisis in Ukraine. This is a way out of the deadlock to which we were brought by radicals," Yanukovych said at a press conference.
