As noted in the department, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies "are doing everything possible to search and bring to justice those responsible."

“The only party that is clearly not interested in establishing an objective picture of the tragic events in Odessa and the reasons that led to the tragedy is Russia,” they said.

In Kiev, it was stated that Moscow “refused to deport” the former deputy chief of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Odessa Region, Dmitry Fucheji, and “insisted on the extradition of at least nine people” who “took direct or indirect part in organizing the riots in Odessa under Russian flags.”

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.

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.
