* From the reports (2016) by Global Rights Compliance LLP: "For example, <[[United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine|UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine]]> has documented specific allegations of enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention and ill-treatment by the members of volunteer battalions such as "[[Aidar Battalion|Aydar]]", "Dnipro-1", "[[Kyiv-1]]" and "[[Kyiv-2]]"; "The Volodymyr Kulmatytsky case gives rise to similar questions concerning the absence of war crimes charges. The accused persons in this case were charged with illegal confinement (Article 146(2)) and illegally handling arms (Article 263(1)). It is alleged that Mr Kulmatytsky, former deputy mayor of [[Sloviansk]], was kidnapped by three soldiers and one commander (Mr. A) of the Battalion Dnipro-1 (Ukrainian police) and murdered later that day by Mr. A. Mr. A was informed that Mr. Kulmatytsky was involved in financing [[Donetsk People's Republic|DPR]] formations".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.globalrightscompliance.com/uploads/bc006cfbcfa0653f85c62829b9a81ea7.pdf |title=Archived copy |website=www.globalrightscompliance.com |access-date=30 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170404215541/http://www.globalrightscompliance.com/uploads/bc006cfbcfa0653f85c62829b9a81ea7.pdf |archive-date=4 April 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
* On 24 December 2014, Amnesty International reported that the unit was blocking humanitarian aid sent from Ukraine by another Ukrainian oligarch [[Rinat Akhmetov]] reaching the population in the separatist-controlled areas; over half the population in these areas depend on food aid. The reason the aid was being blocked by the [[Dnipro]], [[Aidar battalion|Aidar]] and [[Donbas Battalion|Donbas]] battalions is that the battalions "believe food and clothing are ending up in the wrong hands and may be sold instead of being given as humanitarian aid."<ref name="Amesty24Dec14">[https://www.amnesty.org/en/news/eastern-ukraine-humanitarian-disaster-looms-food-aid-blocked-2014-12-23 Amnesty International] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150210200305/http://www.amnesty.org/en/news/eastern-ukraine-humanitarian-disaster-looms-food-aid-blocked-2014-12-23 |date=2015-02-10 }}, "Eastern Ukraine: Humanitarian disaster looms as food aid blocked", Amnesty International 24 December 2014.</ref> Denis Krivosheev, acting Director of Europe and Central Asia for Amnesty International, stated that "using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is a [[war crime]]".<ref>{{cite web |title=Amnesty International {{!}} Eastern Ukraine: Humanitarian disaster looms as food aid blocked |url=https://www.amnesty.org/en/for-media/press-releases/eastern-ukraine-humanitarian-disaster-looms-food-aid-blocked-2014-12-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227091442/http://www.amnesty.org/en/for-media/press-releases/eastern-ukraine-humanitarian-disaster-looms-food-aid-blocked-2014-12-24 |archive-date=2014-12-27 |website=www.amnesty.org}}</ref>{{POV statement|date=January 2015}}
