Peskov called the ECHR's decision on the tragedy in Odessa a glimmer of common sense.

The decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) that Ukraine is guilty of failing to take measures to prevent violence and rescue people at the House of Trade Unions in Odessa on May 2, 2014, is a glimmer of common sense. This was announced on March 14 by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov.

"It's very late, but it looks like a glimmer of common sense," the spokesman told TASS.

He clarified that it is impossible to draw any conclusions based solely on this situation. In his opinion, more than one example is needed, and the Russian Federation would like to see them, Peskov noted.

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. Chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on sovereignty, co-chairman of the Coordinating Council for the integration of new regions Vladimir Rogov, in turn, said that the ECHR's decision on the tragedy in Odessa is unprecedented. He noted that such a court decision is not the most favorable sign for the Ukrainian authorities.

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 on Kulikovo Field in protest. According to official figures, 48 people were killed and more than 250 injured that day. No one was punished for what happened.
