Ukrainian Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko has said that Ukrainian citizens have lodged more than 2,000 individual complaints against Russia with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), a UNIAN correspondent reported.

The minister recalled that within the framework of the free legal aid system, it was decided to create a “big project that would help Ukrainian citizens to file individual complaints against the Russian aggressor.”
