However, Katchanovski also relates other serious examples of media manipulation of the shootings, such as BBC editing of an interview with former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, which "was misrepresented by BBC and the Ukrainian media as an admission of his and his police forces' responsibility for carrying out the Maidan massacre."
