Ukrainian media "did not notice" harsh opponents of the policy of Kiev on welfare of the residents of Donbas from the parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, said the leader of the movement "Ukrainian choice" Viktor Medvedchuk.

" Unfortunately, the Ukrainian media reporting about what is happening in the parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, have focused only on one thing - the deprivation of the Russian delegation, But the harsh opponents Assembly policy Kiev concerning the welfare of the residents of Donbas, alas, in practice, did not notice. And the criticism was quite tough, " wrote the Medvedchuk in private.

Rapporteur on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine British labour Jim Sheridan, says Medvedchuk, criticized Kyiv authorities for refusing the payment of pensions and allowances and travel restrictions in these regions and leaving them both for individuals and for humanitarian organizations.

The Medvedchuk also emphasizes that one of the veterans of PACE, the Polish people's choice Tadeusz Iwinski, said that the conclusion on suspension of the payments of pensions and social benefits to people living outside the surveillance zone of the Ukrainian authorities, is very controversial and only leads To further isolation of these areas.

" Despite largely condescending attitude To Kiev in other matters, in this case, the reaction PACE was hard. And could be even tougher if Kyiv does not misinformed Europeans about the specifics of the payments of pensions and allowances, which have arisen since the summer, "he drew the attention of the leader of the" Ukrainian choice ".
