The United Nations says civilians in eastern Ukraine are facing “a host of human rights violations” due to the “failure” by the parties to the conflict between government forces and Russia-backed separatists to implement a peace accord signed in February 2015.
In a report published on Dec. 8, the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said people living close to the “contact line” between government-controlled and separatist-held territory were the hardest hit.
