An OSCE report on Ukraine ignores the Kiev government’s violations of human rights, as well as the rise of neo-nationalist and xenophobic sentiments in the society, a senior Russian diplomat said, RIA Novosti reports.
“[The report] ignores facts of blatant violations of basic human rights – such as the right to express opinions freely – by the de-facto authorities in Kiev with support from the West. It also lacks information about the rise of neo-Nazi, xenophobic, ultranationalist and anti-Semitic sentiments in Ukraine,” RIA Novosti quotes the Twitter blog of Konstantin Dolgov, Russian Foreign Ministry's Special Representative for Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law.
He also said the report fails to mention “the destructive role of Maidan activists,” whose violent actions against law enforcement officers, including the use of firearms against them, have resulted in a state coup that brought neo-Nazis and ultranationalists to power, RIA Novosti reports.
