Lol at people immediately downvoting and calling it disinformation when someone brings up one article critical of Ukraine. People clearly hate every reminder that the world is not black and white.

Yeah, this was a fascist attack on ukraine just like putin's invasion.
No references, only a homemade pdf, so yeah this is kremlin bs.
It's published by European Court of Human Rights and hosted on their website. You can search for the case yourself: https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng-press#{%22fulltext%22:[%22Vyacheslavova%22],%22documentcollectionid%22:[%22CHAMBERJUDGMENTS%22]}
Clearly they don't want to see facts going against their narrative.
There also is a verdict showing the truth about the shots fired killing protesters and police during the Maidan coup.
They came from the side of the rioters and not police, likely done by agent provocateurs but that's difficult to prove.
Unsurprisingly that verdict wasn't newsworthy either in our neutral, free and so democratic western press.
Ask a grown up to click on the link that goes directly to the Human Rights Court for you.
Or try again, arrow over the red letters and push the left button, magic!
Yeah it's a vaguely written article about a ruling that was almost 2 weeks old using a clickbait headline.
In the ruling (which is what is linked from the actual court):
the European Court of Human Rights Court held, unanimously, that there had been: violations of Article 2 (right to life/investigation) of the European Convention on Human Rights, on account of the relevant authorities’ failure to do everything that could reasonably be expected of them to prevent the violence in Odesa on 2 May 2014, to stop that violence after its outbreak, to ensure timely rescue measures for people trapped in the fire, and to institute and conduct an effective investigation into the events;
and a violation of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) in respect of one applicant (application no. 39553/16) concerning the delay in handing over her father’s body for burial.
The rights violations were due to an inadequate response and failure to protect lives during a riot. Also, while Ukraine's name is on the ruling, the details given in that pdf clearly show it was pro-Russian elements in the government, police, and crowd responsible for the lethal violence and lack of protections during what is essentially a Civil War. IF that isn't enough, the ECHR spells the Capital 'Kyiv', while in the article it is 'Kiev'. Just in case you still have doubts about the bias.
Frankly, a mod posting such biased and antiquated news headlines tells me all I need to know about what this community is about: perpetuating the russian narrative. It's either that or it is being adjudicated by people who do zero critical thinking or bother to read the articles they link.
