Is "tragedy" really the best we can do tolabel intentionally setting fire to a building to burn people alive? Does that not fit the definition of terror? Slaughter? At least crime?The State Duma speaker has confirmed Russia’s PACE proposal to launch an international panel to investigate crimes against humanity in Europe, such as the tragedy in Odessa or mass executions of civilians near Ukraine’s Donetsk.
[...]
He noted that specific crimes against humanity requiring urgent attention included the tragedy in Odessa, Ukraine, in May this year in which dozens of people were burned alive by nationalist radicals for demonstrating their disagreement with the February coup in Kiev.

The proposal drew special attention to the mass graves recently discovered near Donetsk. Russian MPs say that the bodies belong to victims of pro-Kiev forces, and are calling on the international community to give an unbiased assessment of the activities of those who committed the crimes against civilians, and those who gave orders in Kiev and financed the punitive units.

“We all need a motivated dialogue through various international bodies and first of all on the basis of the Council of Europe. We need no new walls of distrust, especially during the year when the whole world is celebrating the 25th anniversary of dismantling the Berlin Wall,” Naryshkin told his guests. “The world must not follow the example of Ukraine that had already announced the creation of a new European wall and actually started to build it,” he added.
“Digging moats and installing barbed wire fences in the modern world is insane,” Naryshkin said.
