“Of course, this is done unfoundedly and on the basis of assumptions that have nothing to do with reality,” the TASS agency said, commenting on a statement by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry about the situation with the investigation into the deaths of 48 people in Odessa.
They noted that at least on the basis of video materials and eyewitness testimonies “it is possible to easily establish the names of those who planned and organized this pogrom, and punish its organizers and performers.”
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry called on the international community to seek Ukraine to investigate the tragedy in Odessa.
They noted that those responsible for the mass deaths of people during the pogrom of radical nationalists in Odessa still have not been deservedly punished, while the circumstances of the crime have been established, and many videos from the scene have been preserved.
After that, they said in Kiev that Ukrainian law enforcement agencies “are doing everything possible to search and bring to justice the perpetrators,” and Russia is “the only party that is clearly not interested in establishing an objective picture of the tragic events.”
In Odessa, May 2, 2014, Ukrainian radicals and nationalists set fire to the House of Trade Unions, in which anti-Maidan activists were blocked.
They fired at people who were trying to get out of the burning building, and doctors were not allowed to see them. As a result, 48 people died and more than 200 were injured.
