The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the next report on the situation in Ukraine, published by the Supreme Commissar of the UN Human Rights. At first, having criticized the document in a regular manner, the Russian Foreign Ministry, however, found true, according to Russian diplomats, places in the report that relate to the investigation of the tragedy in Odessa that occurred on May 2. The ministry noted that the UN finally “decided to confirm” that the “right sector” participated in Odessa riots, the Mid website said in a statement.
"We carefully studied the next report on the situation in Ukraine, published by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (UVKPH) on the basis of the findings of the UN Human Rights Supervisory Board in Ukraine. The one -sided and politically engaged in this country that occurred in May and early June of this year is noteworthy. Unfortunately, the authors of the document of the document did not change: The total volume of available information is mainly reflected that is suitable for pre -formulated conclusions, ”the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
However, in the text of the message, diplomats identified several positive, in their opinion, trends in the coverage of Ukrainian events. “In the situation in Ukraine, there are a number of moments in which UVKPH could not help but respond due to their broad public resonance. This is the lack of progress on the amnesty of protesters in the east of Ukraine, the introduction of censorship and a ban on broadcasting Russian channels, arbitrary detention of journalists, and abduction of people with special services,” the department said.
“In the coverage of the tragedy in Odessa on May 2, the compilers of the report showed a more objective approach than in the past of a similar document,” the diplomats emphasize. “Observers finally decided to confirm that the militants of the“ Right Sector ”participated in Odessa in Odessa, that it was they who finished the wounded when they tried to escape from the burning building.”
Note that in the text of the UN report in the chapter about the “Right Sector” investigation is mentioned twice, but it is not said that his activists finished off the wounded. The report states that, "according to information from reliable resources, some supporters of the unity of Ukraine beat supporters of federalization when they tried to get out of the building of the House of Trade Unions, while others tried to help them."
The diplomats of the Russian Foreign Ministry remained unhappy that "the authors are still striving to fragrance of the Kyiv authorities, their supporters and law enforcement agencies who are responsible for the death of dozens of innocent people. There are no references to the use of poisonous substances, the underestimated official statistics of the dead and injured."
The report says that 42 people were killed, 32 of whom died inside the building and 10 died, jumping out of the windows. Note that earlier it was reported about 48 dead during the fire.
In general, the Russian Foreign Ministry criticized the UN report. "The hypocritical recommendation of the Ukrainian authorities to carry out the anti -terrorist operation" in accordance with international standards. "In fact, this can actually be interpreted as an indulgence on continuing the extermination of the civilian population and the escalation of the conflict," the diplomats noted. Also in the Foreign Ministry condemned the provisions of the report on the Crimea, on the confrontation of separatists and the Ukrainian military in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
