Because of the actions proniewski " volunteer units " Donbass was on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe, said the Executive Director of Amnesty International's Europe and Central Asia Denis Krivosheev.
" With the advent of winter and already desperate situation in Eastern Ukraine is increasingly worsens for the reason that proniewski volunteer departments do not let food and medical aid to those who need it. It's no secret that the region was on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe, when citizens face starvation, " he said, according to TASS." These units often operate as gangs, they need to be put under surveillance. Failure to pass the food intended for people in the conflict area is a violation of international law, and the perpetrators must be called to account, " reads the letter. Amnesty International reports that it has received information according to which proniewski units, including Dnepr-1 " and " Aidar ", blocked the delivery of aid to Donetsk and Lugansk. In these conditions, Amnesty International urged the Ukrainian authorities to establish oversight of the actions of the volunteer units and to provide rules for the normal delivery of humanitarian assistance to the needy population.
