He stated that categorically condemns the use of violence by the security forces. The presidential Commissioner for children’s rights Yuriy Pavlenko submitted a letter of resignation due to “failure to perform their duties”.

He stated this on his page in Facebook.

“Strongly condemn the violence by the special forces against peaceful demonstrators, youth, students and children,” – said Pavlenko.

The Commissioner added that up to this point he had done everything possible to ensure the rights of children-the protesters or the children dragged into the conflict. “Today will continue to do this as a citizen of Ukraine”, – said Pavlenko.

He also called on all parties to stop the bloodshed.
