Some 1,700 people representing 500 Ukrainian NGOs on 19 October held a congress in Kyiv
Published:
23 October 2001 y., Tuesday
The congress adopted a statement to compatriots and the world community with apologies for "Kuchma's cynical words" asserting that "one shouldn't make a tragedy out of the crash if there has been a mistake". The congress also requested apologies for the attempts of Ukrainian top military leaders to deceive the public about the real reason behind the
airliner tragedy. According to the congress, compensation for the downed plane should be paid not from the state budget, but from "foreign deposits of Kuchma and his entourage."
