Putin Says Surprised Ukraine Does Not Have Amnesty Law Yet

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday he was surprised that the law on amnesty did not work in Ukraine after the Donbas events

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 10th December, 2019) Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday he was surprised that the law on amnesty did not work in Ukraine after the Donbas events.

"One of the areas of discussion is just the possible prosecution of people who live in the unrecognized republics.

The law on amnesties has not yet been adopted. It was agreed back in 2015, the law was adopted, there are some decisions there, but nothing has been introduced, nothing's working," Putin said at a meeting with members of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights.
