Lavrov: The Council of Europe was powerless in the investigation of the fire in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa. 48 people died that day, 42 of whom were in the house, and more than 250 were injured.

“No investigation was carried out, it was all just in words,” Lavrov said. The tragedy occurred on May 2, 2014, as a result of a clash between supporters and opponents of the Euromaidan, pro-Ukrainian activists and nationalists destroyed the camp.
