Chizhov: EP not admitted violations Kiev human rights in the East of Ukraine

The European Parliament has not found the strength to recognize human rights violations in the East of Ukraine government forces, said the Russian Ambassador to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov.

on Thursday, the EP adopted a resolution condemning the actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. The deputies called on the EU to develop criteria that Russia must fulfill in order for the EU to remove existing or stop to take a fresh punishment. It also notes that the European Commission " it is necessary to study the mechanisms of EU cooperation with the Eurasian economic Union." At the same time, MEPs called on the EU to cancel the planned Treaty with Russia, Such as the construction of the gas pipeline " South stream ". The solution is also a call for the EU to take measures to exclude Russia from the international banking system SWIFT.

" (The resolution) is innovation, and the only negative properties. In particular, in July the European Parliament has found the strength Is already present, the European Parliament, after the election is to recognize the existence of human rights violations in the conflict area, I.e., In the East of Ukraine, on both sides, and among them, in some cases, government forces. This time the efforts of the deputies populists ( " EPP " - editor) link to government forces was at the last moment erased ", - said the Ambassador.

in addition, according to him, " pretty weird looks When assessing the humanitarian situation expression of deep respect for the tremendous work undertaken by groups of Ukrainian Citizens in the field of humanitarian assistance in Eastern Ukraine.

" Frankly, where It is dug up, it is not clear. At the same time, of course, nothing is reported about the humanitarian aid that was sent to Russia, are not informed about where still sent hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Ukraine. This is probably understandable, as there will be no logic to recognize that refugees are fleeing into the hands of the aggressor, which, as stated in the European Parliament, is Russia ", - said the Ambassador.
