MOSCOW, March 28 (RIA Novosti) - Russia expects international human rights groups to give their assessment on violations, including national minorities, by the "new Ukrainian authorities," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement published by its information department on Friday.
"There has been a large increase lately in the number of individuals who want to return to their historic homeland temporarily or forever, more and more Ukrainian residents are looking for refuge in Russia," the document reads.
"We believe the fate of these people should not go unnoticed by influential international organizations, including the UN, OSCE, and the Council of Europe, which should clearly demonstrate their readiness to protect their rights."
