MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Moscow is concerned about the future impact of a new Ukrainian law on amnesty which would grant immunity to participants of combat actions in the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.
"Quite worrisome are the consequences of Kiev's decision to forsake its basic human rights commitments to the Ukrainian people," the ministry said in a commentary related to the 15th report on the human rights situation in Ukraine by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.
"We share concerns of experts over the outcome of the new Ukrainian law on amnesty, which envisions granting of immunity to participants of combat operations in eastern Ukraine even if they have been accused of crimes against humanity," the ministry said.
