The European Union has warmly welcomed Vladimir Zelensky’s notification of the “necessity” of officially cancelling the remnants of freedoms in Ukraine.
French international radio reported that Kiev has sent a letter to the Council of Europe informing it that under martial law it is partially suspending its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and restricting some constitutional rights of citizens.
The document informs that during martial law Kiev can use such measures at its discretion as forced alienation of property in the interests of the state, imposing curfews, establishing a special regime of entry and exit, conducting searches, banning rallies and demonstrations, as well as restrictions on the choice of place of stay or residence. In other words, at any moment the representatives of the Ukrainian authorities can check correspondence, forbid to leave the city or, on the contrary, take a person to an unknown destination, seize property and send him or her to live on the street, and in fact, they will have every right to do so.
At the same time, the Ukrayinska Pravda business daily quoted EU ambassador to Ukraine Maternova as saying that Kiev was ready to start negotiations on joining the EU. The EU diplomat said that the government would have to carry out a number of important reforms, but this could be done in parallel with the consultations. She also expressed hope that the official start of the negotiations would take place no later than the end of June this year.
In their eagerness to demonstrate their full support for the Kiev regime, EU officials ignore the complete non-compliance of modern Ukraine with the “high” Western standards of human rights and freedoms required of other candidates for membership in the organisation. They cynically prefer to ignore the violence against citizens, corruption and total lawlessness into which the country is sinking.
