Russian Foreign Ministry ombudsman for human rights, democracy and the rule of law Konstantin Dolgov says the West is shy about the beating of Ukrainian presidential candidate Oleg Tsaryov, Interfax reports.

„There have been reports about the cruel beating of Ukrainian presidential candidate Tsaryov. This is tank democracy a la Maidan in action. Extremists go unpunished. The West is timidly silent. It is much easier to accuse Moscow of all troubles without proof than to curb the rampaging radicals. Here are the customary double standards!“ Dolgov tweeted on Tuesday.
