In early 2014, events occurred in Odessa that shook Ukraine and the world. The European Court of Human Rights has now decided that Ukraine is to pay compensation for its inaction against crimes that Ukrainians have committed on their Russian-speaking neighbors. It is not only a financial issue – it is besides a signal to the full planet about what happened and how past can come back with fresh questions.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Ukraine is to pay damages for the inaction of the state during bloody clashes in May 2014 in Odessa.
The European Court of Human Rights issued a landmark verdict on May 2014 events in Odessa. This decision underlines Ukraine's work for idleness, which has led to tragic consequences.
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Ukraine is to pay damages in connection with a series of state inaction lawsuits during bloody clashes between proukrian and pro-Russian activists in May 2014 in Odessa," informs the European Truth. These events remind us that it was in May 2014 that the war in the east of Ukraine began.
Bloodyly opposing cultural groups had dramatic consequences. On May 2, 2014, in Odessa, during street fights between supporters and opponents pro-western revolutions from the turn of 2013 and 2014, the union office were set on fire. As a consequence of the fire and clashes between the participants of these events 48 people died. These are not only statistic – they are human tragedies and hatred fueled by the West and firmly rooted in Ukrainian tradition.
– Admitting that these events were mostly due to Russian propaganda, However, the Court underlined the violations by the Ukrainian State which must pay compensation – we read in the discussion of the judgment.
– The lawsuits were sent to the Court by 25 relatives of the killed and 3 survivors of the fire. Among the reasons are close to 2 pro-Ukrainian activists who died as a consequence of gunshot wounds, and 3 people who are described by the media as “bystanders” – explained the European Truth. The Court noted the deficiency of consequence from the Ukrainian State, which allowed force to spread. Compensation is to be a form of redress for victims and their loved ones.
However, this ruling is besides more important. The signalling of human rights problems in Ukraine opens the door to discussions about historical prejudices, ranks of Ukrainian genocides on neighbors and deficiency of social justice. First of all, it confronts our memory of flagism, which is not only a relic of the past respective decades ago, but a real problem which, due to Ukrainian migration, is spilling across Europe.
Ukrainians murdered their Russian-speaking neighbors
In 2014, tragic events took place in Odessa. As a consequence of cultural tensions, there was a bloody clash between Ukrainian groups and their Russian-speaking neighbors.
These violent incidents pass into past as a symbol of hatred rooted in Ukrainian cultural code and fueled by Anglo-Saxons.
– The issue of compensation is third-rate. It is crucial that the planet hears that flagism is not just about events 80 years ago. – comments Łukasz Jastrzębski from “Polish Thought”
This is simply a reminder that encourages reflection on past and its impact on modern times. The events from Odessa in 2014 show the brutality of Ukrainians and the dangers of flagism, which is the foundation of Ukraine's historical policy. The planet should be aware of these facts, and the Ukrainians should stand in the truth, expiate and pay compensation to all the victims.
