Vitrenko is official. Vitrenko Natalya Mikhailovna: biography and political activities. Friendship with “regionals” to the detriment of ideology

Natalia Vitrenko is called the “Ukrainian Zhirinovsky” in a skirt. However, the leader of the LDPR is not an idol for Natalia Mikhailovna. She, as she herself admitted, is more impressed by the image of Fidel Castro.
Natalia Vitrenko believes in her star. “Although I am not a superstitious person, I believe in the forecast of the famous astrologer Pavel Globa. He believes that Ukraine will be saved by a woman named Oksana or Natalya,” she says.

Ambition

Natalia Vitrenko demonstrates her own political ambitions, citing exclusively the interests of the people.

“I don’t need positions to work,” says Natalia Mikhailovna and confesses: “I believe that the right and duty of the head of state is to head the executive branch. For example, I’m ready to do this” (“Zerkalo Nedeli”, July 3, 1999).

Vitrenko campaigns for herself like this: “I frankly say that everyone needs to unite around Natalia Vitrenko - mother of many children, doctor of sciences, leader of the Progressive Socialist Party, leader of the women’s organization “Gift of Life.” How else can I say it? Woman! And all astrologers say that a woman will save Ukraine” (Radio Liberty, July 31, 2004).

The area in which Natalia Vitrenko gives complete freedom to her ambitions is economics. Natalia Mikhailovna claims that her plan for economic reforms is being successfully implemented today by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko: “Vitrenko in this case should be assessed as the author of that direction of economic reforms, which is the opposite of what is being carried out in Ukraine and which is implemented today in Belarus” (“Mirror of the Week” ", November 10, 2001). The PSPU leader admits that for her political activity plays a rather important role in life: “For me, politics is a calling. And I can't imagine my life without standing up for it own opinion"(Viborcha maisternya, February 27, 2002).

Several attempts to obtain a deputy mandate in majoritarian constituencies in Cherkassy, Melitopol, Chernigov in the current composition of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for Natalia Vitrenko were unsuccessful.

Ideal

Previously, the ideal for Natalia Vitrenko was the former Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi. Because, as the leader of the PSPU stated, “she became the mother of the people” (“Viborcha maysternya”, March 6, 2002). Now Natalia Mikhailovna’s ideal is Fidel Castro. “To live the same life, to be as brave and professional is my dream,” admitted the leader of the PSPU (Kiev Telegraph, January 23, 2004).

Compromising evidence

There is not much incriminating information on the leader of the Progressive Socialist Party. It concerns her connections with the presidential administration and the oligarchs. Thus, on the eve of the 2002 parliamentary elections, rumors were actively circulated in the press regarding the possible involvement of the famous businessman Vadim Rabinovich in financing the PSPU in exchange for 30% of the party list. However, this information has never been confirmed. Natalia Vitrenko herself says that her party “has never been financed and will not be financed by either the presidential administration, Volkov’s group, or Rabinovich’s group” (Forum, March 20, 2002).

Natalia Mikhailovna claims that she was never for sale to anyone: “I was surprised: Rabinovich never gave us money, how did this rumor appear?.. And I want everyone to remember that Vitrenko is not for sale. Therefore, I had no agreements with Vadim Rabinovich or others. In addition, the last time I saw Rabinovich was two or three years ago at the Russian embassy” (“Capital News”, November 25, 2001).

Three years ago, information also appeared in the press about the possible involvement of Natalia Vitrenko and her party in the oil quotas that Saddam Hussein’s regime provided to its adherents. However, this information has never been officially confirmed.

Leonid Kuchma

For quite some time now, information has been circulating on the sidelines that the PSPU is a political technology development of the presidential administration of Leonid Kuchma, namely, the now deceased first assistant to the head of state, Alexander Razumkov. They say that at one time, the “promotion” of Vitrenko was aimed at destroying the left camp and weakening the position of the SPU in the 1998 parliamentary elections. The Den newspaper claims that it was the authorities who helped the progressive socialists overcome the 4 percent barrier: “They even said that on the last of those three days, when the Central Election Commission was struggling to count the election results, ballots with votes were urgently delivered to those who counted.” for the PSPU (Day, June 30, 1999). Although, as Natalia Vitrenko herself says, she and Alexander Razumkov had exclusively friendly relations.

Former state security major Nikolai Melnichenko claims that the recordings he made in Leonid Kuchma’s office contain episodes about behind-the-scenes games between the PSPU leader and the president. As stated to Ukrayinskaya Pravda former officer, “she was escorted to Kuchma’s office by the then Chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine Leonid Derkach, so that no one could see, and she behaved at these rendezvous like an obedient pioneer.” Natalia Vitrenko refutes this information: “I did not have any secret meetings with Kuchma. This is absolutely accurate” (“Ukrainskaya Pravda”, March 5, 2002).

Natalia Mikhailovna says that she was and remains a consistent opponent of Kuchma: “On Bankova, the characters and scenery have changed a great many times, but our line - mine and my comrades-in-arms - has remained unchanged since 1991” (“Zerkalo Nedeli”, July 3, 1999 .).

When asked by a Vremya Novostei correspondent how she assessed the rumors about the involvement of the presidential administration in the PSPU, Natalia Mikhailovna answered rather harshly: “How would they evaluate it if they told you that you were a prostitute? Vile, dirty people are spreading rumors to humiliate me and take votes away from the party. It is beneficial for them to compare Natalia Vitrenko, Doctor of Science and academician of two academies, with some mongrel who was hired for money. Sorry, I don’t see any equals in the presidential administration” (“Vremya Novostei”, February 15, 2002).

By the way, the Shevchenkovsky District Court of Kiev found that the information about Natalia Vitrenko, disseminated by Major Nikolai Melnichenko regarding cooperation with the presidential administration, does not correspond to reality.

Max the Mad

In 2006, Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko stated that Russian businessman Maxim Kurochkin (“Max Beshenny”) was involved in financing the PSPU and had serious claims against Natalya Vitrenko after the failure of her bloc in the parliamentary elections. The PSPU leader rejected these accusations. Although Kurochkin himself publicly stated that he sympathized with the PSPU.

Financial situation

According to the declaration, in 2003 Vitrenko received a profit of 15 thousand UAH. This is a salary. The leader of the PSPU has an apartment of 55 square meters. m.

The science

Doctor economic sciences, assistant professor. Academician of the Academy of Construction and Economic Cybernetics of Ukraine.

Candidate's thesis - “Statistical and economic analysis of the efficiency of livestock farming (on the example of collective farms in the Kyiv region)” (1977).

Doctoral dissertation - “Regional problems of social infrastructure development” (1994).

Environment

A faithful party member, comrade-in-arms and “squire” - Vladimir Marchenko. By the way, he sometimes plays the role of driver. If you need to defend the honor of Natalia Mikhailovna, then Vladimir Romanovich can “hit you in the jaw” - as was the case with MP Pavel Movchan. The latter somehow carelessly asked Marchenko at a parliamentary meeting not to confuse his own wife with his party comrade. Even Mike Tyson could have envied Vladimir Romanovich’s reaction - the head of Prosvita was deeply knocked down, receiving a concussion.

Natalia Mikhailovna admitted that not only Pavel Movchan, but even Vladimir Romanovich’s wife is suspicious of her relationship with Vladimir Marchenko: “There is a certain difficulty - his wife is worried, since we work together all the time” (“Day”, May 1998 G.).

Regalia

According to the results of surveys of the population of Ukraine conducted by the Socis-Gelap service in 1996, 1997 and 1998, Vitrenko was recognized as “Woman of the Year”.

Family

Divorced.

The eldest daughter is Olga (born 1972), a sociologist by training.

The youngest daughter - Marina (born 1983), graduated from the Institute international relations Kyiv State University.

Son Yuri (born 1976) is a civil servant.

Has a grandson Mikhail (born 2000).

“For me, breaking out to my grandson is like breathing in the air of freedom to a prisoner... His first word is “woman.” He is a very energetic boy. They always say that they love grandchildren more than children, but until you feel it for yourself, you won’t believe it,” says Natalia Vitrenko (“Capital News,” November 27, 2001).

Third force

“We will show that we are the third force in Ukraine that will help the people figure out who they need to follow,” says the leader of the PSPU (Segodnya, September 10, 2002).

Student

More recently, Natalia Mikhailovna called Alexander Moroz her student. True, ungrateful. Vitrenko says that during the time she was his adviser, she tried to arrange an economic educational program for the socialist leader. However, she believes these efforts were in vain.

Natalia Mikhailovna is an irreconcilable opponent of Alexander Moroz. After the attempt on her life in October 1999 in Krivoy Rog, the gap between the leader of the PSPU and Alexander Alexandrovich widened. Moroz's confidant, Sergei Ivanchenko, was blamed for the incident. Even despite the fact that Major Melnichenko’s notes indicate that the assassination attempt on the leader of the progressive socialists was inspired by the special services, Natalia Vitrenko continues to accuse Alexander Moroz: “Talk about “provocation against Moroz” is just talk, and thrown grenades are a terrible reality ... I don’t have a cassette (with recordings of Major Melnichenko. - S.R.), nor the statements of Alexander Moroz inspire any confidence. I don’t trust him at all as a politician. In general, I know his worth well... The fact is that Alexander Moroz was never an independent politician, he always depended on someone” (“Facts”, January 27, 2000). Later, the PSPU leader added: “We have not yet resolved the issue of the assassination attempt. The whole point is that Sergei Ivanchenko is the head of Moroz’s headquarters, his confidant... The court proved that the assassination attempt was organized by Sergei Ivanchenko, that Vladimir Ivanchenko, his brother and Andrei Samoilov threw the grenade. Charges have already been brought, but what remains behind the scenes is who ordered it? And what kind of relationship can I have with Frost after this?” (“Capital News”, November 27, 2001).

“They often try to attribute to me the desire to find out some kind of relationship with Moroz. I haven't been interested in him for ages! But Frost is on the list key figures, which caused colossal losses to Ukraine. And I will never absolve him of his guilt. Never!” - this is how Natalia Vitrenko explains her “interest” in Alexander Moroz (“Zerkalo Nedeli”, November 10, 2001).

“Peter Symonenko should thank me every day for the fact that the PSPU nominated my candidacy... if this had not happened, Alexander Moroz’s entourage would have organized an attempt on the life of the leader of the Communist Party,” says Natalia Vitrenko (Kiev Telegraph, July 13 2004).

The leader of the SPU responds to Vitrenko with the same “coin”: “To be honest, she doesn’t bother me. What will he say (during the presidential campaign. - S.R.), I know approximately, but I think people know” (UNIAN, July 7, 2004).

Hobby

All yours free time Natalia Mikhailovna devotes herself to work. Except perhaps for shopping at the market. “The majority of the wardrobe was bought at the Obolon bazaar,” Vitrenko admitted (“Mirror of the Week,” November 7, 1998).

The pronoun “I” occupies not the last place in Natalia Vitrenko’s speeches. The leader of the PSPU likes to speak on his own behalf. She has a lot of modesty. Vitrenko’s “I” is a kind of indicator of her political culture and ambitions that are seething.

“I am a serious scientist, I have experience, I have knowledge, I have the ability and desire to work. I am an academician, the author of an alternative economic program. The main thing for me is that they don’t interfere with my work.”

“I want to tell you that many people’s deputies come up to me and confess: “We respect you because you can say what we ourselves are afraid to say.”

“I am sure that society cannot endlessly sell itself to the oligarchs and be afraid of administrative resources.”

“I am deeply convinced: if they don’t listen to me today and even if they don’t listen to me tomorrow, life will still force me to return to my proposals.”

"I am the most inconvenient person in the country."

“I know that if I suddenly find myself in a foreign city without a penny, then local party members will feed me, put me to bed, and help me get to Kyiv.”

“I think that even a very wealthy person can awaken his conscience, and he will understand that our party is fighting for justice.”

“I am an adherent of a planned economy, and I am proud of it. Clean market economy It can’t ever happen!!!”

“I was the only woman who created a party that won parliamentary elections in 1998. “I received 11% of the votes in the presidential election, without having the status of an ex-speaker of parliament, like Moroz, and without heading the Communist Party, which is voted for thanks to the merits of former generations.”

“I claim that Symonenko did not want to defeat Kuchma in the second round of the presidential election. He handed over the victory to him.”

“I’m in politics as if I’m on the front line, and Symonenko and others are somewhere in the trenches.”

“I will never work with a woman (about Tymoshenko. - S.R.), which, like a vulture, only wants to tear it off for itself.”

“Today I receive a lot of offers. Just a lot. I don't have enough time to accept all these offers. Appear on air."

“I will use everyone. For that purpose - to save Ukraine.”

"I have always been active in public life and since school she had the title of “ringleader”.

“I want everything from her (Tymoshenko. - S.R.) to ask, it’s a pity, it didn’t work out at the TV debate: here she is, the oligarch, richest woman Ukraine, how did she earn her first million?!”

"I believe in the law."

“I have never been in the corridors of power, in their nomenklatura. I’ve never played with anyone - neither with Kravchuk, nor with Moroz, nor with Petya, especially…”

“I don’t understand those who think that if you replace Kuchma with Yushchenko, Ukraine will become better. It won’t!”

“I didn’t come into politics to hone some political technologies. I knew that a mortal threat loomed over my state and, as a mother of many children, I made my choice.”

“I see how tragic history for humanity is repeating itself: communists unite with fascists.”

“I believe that the salary of a people’s deputy should be the same as the industry average.”

“...I simply urge all women of Ukraine to immediately throw rotten eggs at whoever the presidential candidate is, if they even say a dirty word about me.”

“I clearly know that I need to follow my own path and go to victory.”

“I... perhaps would not have run for office if at least someone had offered real ways to save Ukraine.”

“...I am convinced that 12 million pensioners in Ukraine should vote for me. For me because when I was in parliament, I fought for a fair pension law and defended my law in the first reading.”

“I am convinced that I should make it to the second round (meaning the second round of the 2004 presidential elections - S.R.)».

“I want to say that I came to parliament when I lived in a two-room apartment in Obolon, and I left parliament, and I live in a two-room apartment in Obolon. I didn’t have any shares, restaurants, enterprises, airfields and I don’t have anything, that is, I worked in parliament only for the sake of the people.”

“...I want to see Ukraine happy, prosperous, all my activities are aimed at this.”

“I stand for freedom of conscience. I believe that the state has no right to interfere with the faith of every person. Everyone has the right to be an atheist or to choose their own religion.”

Vitrenko Natalya - Ukrainian politician, leader of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, scientist, holds a doctorate in economics. In his political views, he adheres to socialist convictions and advocates the restoration of institutions Soviet Union, the unification of Ukraine with Russia and Belarus.

Biography of the politician

Vitrenko Natalya was born in Kyiv on December 28, 1951. Her maiden name is Dubinskaya. Since childhood, her life was not easy; she grew up in a large family. Soon after birth, she moved with her mother to Donbass, where she lived until she was 14 years old. After that, she returned to Kyiv and remained in the Ukrainian capital until adulthood.

After graduation high school in 1969 she entered the Kiev Institute of National Economy. I started studying at the accounting department. She was a successful student, a group leader, received an increased scholarship, and was even awarded a Lenin scholarship, which went to especially distinguished students, not only in academics, but also in public life.

Participation in public life

Even as a student he took Active participation V political life, trade union affairs. At the university he joined the Komsomol and became a member of the institute committee. After receiving higher education goes to the deputies of the workers' council of the Radyansky district of the capital of the Ukrainian SSR. During her student years, Natalya Mikhailovna Vitrenko achieved great success both in her studies and in scientific work. Won victories in republican and international competitions among talented studying youth.

She graduated from the institute with honors in 1973. Immediately after this, I received a referral to graduate school at the Kyiv Institute of National Economy. At the same time, she continued her career as a public figure and took part in the life of the student trade union. She studied in graduate school until 1976. At the same time started labor activity. First, as a senior economist in the statistical department of the Central Statistical Office of the Ukrainian SSR. In 1974 she joined the ranks of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Labor activity

In 1977, Natalya Vitrenko defended her PhD thesis and went to work at the Research Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of the State Planning Committee of the Ukrainian SSR. He works first as a junior and then as a senior researcher. Soon he continues to work at his native university, becoming an assistant professor at the Department of Statistics, and is engaged in teaching. She stayed in this post for 10 years.

During the years of perestroika, Vitrenko joined the Council for the Study of Production Forces of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. He continues to engage in scientific work and is studying for a doctorate. In April 1991, he made an important report in his career on privatization and the socialist choice. In it, she sharply criticizes the processes that have begun in the country, including the transition to capitalist lines and the privatization that has begun.

Political struggle

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he began to actively engage in political career. So, in 1991, Natalia developed the economic section of the program of the Communist Party of Ukraine in a new edition. After the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was banned, its branches in the union republics were also closed.

After this, Natalya Vitrenko devotes all her strength to the Socialist Party of Ukraine. In a short time he becomes one of its leaders, develops party documents, concepts, and basic strategies. Natalya Mikhailovna heads the leadership of the theoretical center of the Socialist Party, becomes the head of the editorial board of the party magazine "Choice".

Scientific publications

In parallel with politics, Natalya Mikhailovna Vitrenko continues to engage in scientific work, especially in the field of economics. At the beginning of 1993, her monograph was published, dedicated to the social infrastructure of Ukraine and assessing its levels and development prospects.

In 1994, Vitrenko received a Doctor of Science degree, defending a dissertation on a topic devoted to regional problems in the formation of social infrastructure in the former republics of the Soviet Union. At the same time, he begins to work in the Ukrainian parliament, applying his knowledge as an economist. She is developing a program for the establishment of an independent Ukraine, which must be implemented during a crisis period. In 1994, she was accepted into the Supreme Council.

Natalya Vitrenko, whose biography is now closely connected with the political situation in her native country, holds senior positions in the government. In particular, the position of adviser on socio-economic issues to Alexander Moroz, at that time the chairman of the Supreme Council of independent Ukraine.

People's Deputy

In 1994, Natalya Vitrenko, a politician who is already known almost throughout the country, becomes a people's deputy in the Sumy region from the Konotop district. In 1995 he made loud political statements. In particular, he announces an alternative economic program. She proposes that the government take a different path, thereby promising to save the state from a national catastrophe, which, according to her, is inevitable given the current course of development.

However, the Chairman of the Supreme Council, Alexander Moroz, refuses to put this issue to a vote. Deputies overwhelmingly support the current economic program of President Anatoly Kuchma. During her work in the Supreme Council, Vitrenko wrote 72 bills; she took the initiative to create the inter-parliamentary association ZUBR. This is the Union for Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.

Creating your own party

As a result of internal political struggle in 1996, Vitrenko was expelled from the Socialist Party of Ukraine. In April of the same year, together with her ally Vladimir Marchenko, she created her own political force called the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine. Natalya Vitrenko becomes its leader. The PSPU stands for the revival of the Soviet Union, the transfer of all power to ordinary working people, a return to a planned economy and socialist ideals. The party leaders also see the creation of a union of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus as their goal.

In the parliamentary elections in 1998, Vitrenko’s party overcomes the required 4 percent threshold and enters the Verkhovna Rada. Vitrenko herself, like her ally Marchenko, wins in majoritarian districts. This indicates high popularity among ordinary people and a high trust rating.

Woman President

Natalya Vitrenko has been recognized as Woman of the Year for three years. Ukraine held these competitions in 1996-1998. They were invariably won by the most popular female politician in the country. In 1999, Vitrenko became a candidate for president of the country. For the first time, a woman is running for the highest political post in Ukraine.

The election struggle is not easy and sometimes life-threatening. In October 1999, an attempt was made on her life. The incident occurred in Krivoy Rog. Immediately after the end of the meeting with supporters of Vitrenko and deputies supporting the politician, two live grenades were fired. There were no fatalities, but 44 people were injured. The presidential candidate herself received shrapnel wounds. The investigation identified the organizer of the assassination attempt. He was named Sergei Ivanchenko, an assistant to the leader of the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Alexander Moroz, of which Vitrenko had previously been a member.

According to the results of the 1999 elections, Natalya received just under 11 percent of the vote, which allowed her to take only 4th place.

Vitrenko block

Despite the defeat in the presidential elections and a serious threat to his life, Vitrenko continues his political struggle. In 2002, she created and headed the bipartisan Natalia Vitrenko Bloc. However, it is not possible to overcome the 4 percent barrier in parliamentary elections. Several tens of thousands of votes are missing. It is worth recognizing that by that time the popularity of Soviet ideas began to decline significantly; an increasing percentage of the electorate supported only an independent Ukraine.

In 2004, Natalya again took part in the presidential election campaign, however, less successfully. Vitrenko, a candidate for the presidency of Ukraine (2004), receives about one and a half percent of the votes and takes only fifth place. In the second round, she encourages her supporters to vote for Viktor Yanukovych.

Parliamentary elections

In 2006, Vitrenko participated in the parliamentary elections at the head of the People's Opposition bloc, whose ideas are essentially the same - the accession of Ukraine to the Russian-Belarusian union, the economic model of economic policy. At the same time, he calls for a categorical rejection of plans to join NATO and the WTO. Despite the fact that the barrier to entering parliament was lowered to three percent, the People's Opposition failed to achieve even this result. Seven hundredths of a percent was missing. Vitrenko repeatedly appealed to the courts with allegations of falsification, but the election commission never agreed to recount the votes. In local councils, Natalia Vitrenko’s bloc received mandates in 19 Ukrainian regions, in total it was represented by about 500 people’s representatives.

At the same time, Natalya Vitrenko did not forget about her personal life. Her children pleased her with two grandchildren and two granddaughters.

In modern Ukraine

Today Vitrenko remains the permanent leader of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine. Heads the all-Ukrainian women's organization. Natalya Vitrenko speaks extremely harshly about the political situation in Ukraine. In particular, he accuses the Party of Regions of betrayal and communist party Ukraine, criticizes the law "On the fundamentals of foreign and domestic policy", is categorically against Ukraine's accession to NATO, the European Union and the WTO. In his political statements, he still insists on close cooperation with Russia.

He speaks sharply about the situation in the country on his official website. For example, he accuses the current authorities in charge of the state of nationalism and genocide of their own people. He categorically opposes the bill on criminal liability for denying the merits of fighters for independent Ukraine, introduced into parliament by Shukhevych.

Natalia Vitrenko: Towards peace through democratization

The 15 steps to a truce proposed by Petro Poroshenko are conceptually erroneous, deceitful and characterize the neo-Nazi essence of power, expressed in the slogans “Muscovites to knives”, “Glory to the nation - death to enemies.” The quintessence of his plan: everyone who is against the government will be destroyed.

Neither the concept nor the content of the “Poroshenko peace plan” corresponds to the norms and principles of international law, does not define the path to compromise and is not capable of restoring peace and preserving the integrity of the state.

From my point of view, the military conflict in the South-East of Ukraine is not a struggle between legitimate government and terrorists, but a civilizational conflict, a conflict between Western civilization and the Orthodox.

Based on this, I propose the following plan to end the war in Ukraine:

1. Refusal to sign the colonial Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU.

2. Cessation of military actions by the authorities, the use of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the "ATO".

3. Complete disarmament of illegal, unconstitutional military formations on both warring sides.

4. Guarantees for the South-East against ethnic cleansing - the introduction of an international peacekeeping contingent with the participation of the Russian Federation.

5. Beginning of the negotiation process on the basis of unconditional compliance with the norms and principles of international law.

6. Preparation of constitutional reform, in which: a) the transition of Ukraine to a federal structure; b) giving the Russian language the status of the state language; c) implementation of the principles of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine on non-bloc status and entry into the Eurasian Economic Union; d) changing the state symbols of Ukraine based on a referendum.

8. Criminal liability for the popularization and glorification of Hitler’s collaborators from the OUN-UPA.

9. Restoration of the activities of Russian television channels on the territory of Ukraine.

10. Immediate amnesty for all political prisoners and closure of criminal cases against the political opposition.

11. Providing guarantees for opposition political activity, providing opposition representatives with the opportunity to participate in the daily hour-long program “Voice of the Opposition” and weekly participation in the program on the First National TV Channel “Freedom of Speech - an alternative to the opposition.”

12. In zones of military conflict, the creation of humanitarian corridors and ensuring the activities of the Red Cross organization.

13. In zones of military conflict, ensuring uninterrupted payment of wages, pensions and social benefits.

14. In zones of military conflict, immediate restoration of destroyed social and industrial infrastructure.

15. Investigation with the participation of international experts of the murders at #Euromaidan in #Kiev, #Odessa, #Slavyansk, #Mariupol, #Volnovakha, #Lugansk, the village of Shchastya, including the use of cluster and phosphorus bombs.
