Ukrainian Interior Minister Anatoliy Mohyliov has said Ukraine should not re-introduce the death penalty as a capital punishment.
"From my point of view, life imprisonment is a less severe punishment than the death penalty," he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday.
At the same time, victims are likely to seek the reintroduction of the death penalty in the country, he said. "But from the point of view of social humanism the death penalty is unacceptable," Mohyliov said.
