A justice commission? What good will that do if we all know very well that
it is Yanukovych and his administration that is behind all these human
rights violations. All roads lead to Mezhyhiria, and just like with
automaidan, Yanucescu has no intention of letting anyone travel down that
road. What would help though, is some solid evidence that could be
presented internationally showing, without a doubt, Russian special forces
carrying out these assaults. Right now we have lots of circumstantial
evidence, but nothing that cannot be brushed off with some sort of fake
excuse.
