Donetsk Human Rights Commissioner Denied Hearing at UN Security Council

Commissioner for Human Rights in the Donetsk People’s Republic Darya Morozova was refused a hearing before the UN Security Council by the Western perpetrators of the violence in Ukraine. Russia, Brazil, Ghana and China were in favor of her giving her testimony, while the U.S., U.K., Japan, Albania, Malta, France, Switzerland, and Ecuador were opposed, and Gabon, Mozambique and the U.A.E. abstained.

In her written report, Morozova documents that from July 20, 2014 to Feb. 24, 2022, there were 4,374 people killed as a result of the attacks by Ukrainian forces in the Donbas, and nearly 8,000 people were wounded. In the report, Morozova noted that already in the spring of 2014, the Kiev regime, which came to power as a result of a coup d’etat, “sent an army to suppress peaceful rallies using aircraft, artillery and weapons of mass lethal action.”

“From the beginning of the conflict and as of February 24, 2022, as a result of armed aggression by Ukraine on the territory of the D.P.R., 4,374 people, including 91 children, were killed. Almost 8,000 civilians were injured to varying degrees of severity, including 323 children, at least 27 of them received a disability,” the Ombudsman’s report says.
