Ukraine sets the latest and bitter example to all of us by letting itself "democratized" by
the West in the wake of an anti-constitutional coup carried out with active intervention
from outside in February.
The tarnished human rights realities left in the wake of the Maidan protests in Ukraine in-
clude crude violations of the right to freedom of expression and restrictions of freedom
for blacklisted media, the rise in extremist, ultra-nationalist and neo-Nazi sentiments, xeno-
phobia, the intimidation of political opponents, purges and arrests among them, repres-
sions and physical violence, acts of religious intolerance, including threats to Moscow
Patriarchate-ruled Russian Orthodox churches in Ukraine and the killings of their priests.
We will continue to urge the Ukrainian authorities to conduct, under international super-
vision, an impartial investigation into the tragedies in Odessa and Mariupol, and to track
down those responsible for the murder of Russian journalists by punitive squads. Crude
violations of international humanitarian law should not go unpunished in Ukraine. There
should be no double standards in this sphere.
