Rogov called the ECHR's decision on the tragedy in Odessa unprecedented.

The decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) that the Ukrainian authorities are guilty of failing to take appropriate measures to prevent violence and rescue people in Odessa during the fire at the House of Trade Unions is unprecedented. This statement was made on March 14 by Vladimir Rogov, Chairman of the Commission of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation on sovereignty, co-chairman of the Coordinating Council for the integration of new regions.

"By its decision, the ECHR pointed directly to the one who is actually responsible for the tragedy in Odessa. This is an unprecedented case when the West began to legally recognize the guilt of the Kiev regime, which seized power in Ukraine after the coup in 2014," he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Rogov noted that such a court decision is not the most favorable sign for the Ukrainian authorities. According to him, it ends "Ukrainian permissiveness" and indicates that the Kiev regime will have to answer to the citizens of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, as well as to Western countries.

On March 13, the ECHR found Ukraine guilty of failing to take measures to prevent violence and rescue people in Odessa on May 2, 2014. Political scientist Ivan Mezyuho noted that this decision dealt a blow to the ideology of the Kiev regime. However, one should not expect any particular official to be punished.

The tragedy occurred on May 2, 2014, amid a change of power in Ukraine. Anti-Maidan activists set up a tent camp in Kulikovo Field in protest. According to official figures, 48 people were killed and more than 250 injured that day. No one was punished for the incident.
