The president of the ultra nationalist Ukrainian C14, Eugene Karas missed a good opportunity to shut up. In an interview with Glavkom, he described how, according to him, in Ukraine it is possible to “socialize” Roma and described how his group “polices” the streets of Ukrainian cities.
As a reminder – C14 was behind the attack in Kiev against a Roma camp.

Roma in the Ukraine

Published by:

In a UNN interview, a human rights activist, Zemfira Kondur, vice president of the Russian Chikryli Women’s Foundation said that today, up to 400,000 Roma live in Ukraine, but only 5-7% of the total live in camps and migrate around the country. The official numbers of Roma are much lower, essentially because most Roma simply don’t declare their origins.
