The Russian authorities called on the members of the Council of Europe to visit Kiev on the eve of May 9 to see that they would "create with the veterans of the Soviet army" in the Ukrainian capital.

This was written in his Facebook chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Konstantin Kosachev, commenting on the CE report on human rights in the occupied Crimea.

"The Council of Europe, you do not come to the Crimea, preferring to judge the situation there on secondary and opportunistic sources. You did not come to Odessa on May 2, on the third anniversary of a terrible tragedy, for which no one has been punished. Come at least now, on the eve of May 9 and actually on Victory Day over Nazism, see what will happen in capital Kiev with the veterans of the Soviet army fighting with Hitler, as well as with their modern followers, "wrote the senator.

In his opinion, the CE representatives "will either be painfully ashamed of bias and double standards, or not, but then they simply do not need".

As reported by the "Observer", earlier the Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly stated that the Kremlin provokes destabilization of the situation in Ukraine during the May holidays.

Military expert Alexei Arestovich believes that on May 9 it should be "guaranteed" to expect provocations and attempts to shake the situation in Kharkov and in the ATU zone. "This is most likely a demonstration that nothing has come to an end, that Ukraine is still full of pro-Russian forces, Russian banners, a demonstration of an attempt to" return to Odessa ", Kharkiv and Zaporozhye, or at least a way to show that in Ukraine has a lot of Russian people, which can be "protected" in every way, - explained Arestovich.
