LPR prosecutors help draw three complaints against Ukrainian army with ECHR over week

Lugansk People’s Republic Prosecutor General’s Office personnel consulted over the past week three Ukrainian army aggression victims over complaints with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), LPR PGO spokeswoman Inna Semyonova said at a press briefing at the Lugansk Media Centre.

Last week, PGO personnel visited the Zolotoye-5 and Golubovskoye settlements to provide consultations over lodging complaints with the ECHR.

Two complaints addressed the destruction of homes in the Ukrainian forces strikes at the Sokolniki village, Slavyanoserbsk district, in November 2014 and the Zhelobok village in February 2015, and one the infliction of bodily harm in the shelling of the Donetsky township in July 2021,” Semyonova said.

Earlier, she said that prosecutors had helped more than 850 Ukrainian army aggression victims in the LPR and Ukraine-controlled Lugansk Region areas draw complaints with the European Court of Human Rights.

The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. Conflict settlement relies on the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements, signed on February 12, 2015 in the Belarussian capital by the Contact Group members and coordinated by the Normandy Four heads of states (Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine). The document provides for ceasefire and withdrawal of heavy weapons from the contact line. *i*s
