You're reading: Freedom House president sees no signs of extremism in Ukraine

President of the international human rights organization Freedom House David Kramer has said he hasn't seen in Ukraine any evidence of extremism and radicalism, as claimed by the Russian Federation.

“The Kremlin propaganda is trying to paint everything that is
happening in Ukraine as being caused by fascists and extremists. I have
not seen evidence of that. I do recognize that there are some parts of
the opposition that are viewed as far-right, but I don’t see them
playing a dominant role in the current political situation. I have seen
surveys that show that their ratings are very low,” Kramer said
