Beside that, Šimonovic highlighted that cases of human rights violation in Ukraine became systematic.
It should be noted that in the nearest future, monitoring mission of the international organization on human rights observance in Ukraine will release a report, where hundreds of cases of illegal mass arrests and cruel tortures are revealed.
