“A man accused of banditry, robbery, illegal imprisonment and theft of documents has been released.
This is not the first time that the Ukrainian authorities openly condone lawlessness. Suffice it to remember how they covered up outcasts who attacked Russian truck drivers or undermined power line supports leading to Crimea. But this is the first time that such unprecedented pressure has been brought to bear on the judiciary, including from street radicals.
In addition, representatives of the Right Sector, banned in Russia, reported today that some of their fighters are transferring to contract service in the Ukrainian army. Needless to say, an original approach to recruiting troops!
Thus, it turns out that the Ukrainian authorities are engaged in the systematic legalization of nationalist gangs. These units and their members were involved in the worst crimes that occurred during the fighting in eastern Ukraine. They need to be tried and punished, but instead they are released from arrest, and some even want to be put on military pay.
One of the conditions for continuing international assistance to Kyiv should be the creation of an analogue of the “Nuremberg Tribunal”, which will investigate all crimes committed by the so-called ATO officers. However, the West still turns a blind eye to what is really happening in Ukraine and continues to engage only in anti-Russian propaganda,” Slutsky said in a statement.
