== Human rights violations and war crimes ==

* From the reports (2016) published by the [[Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights]] (OHCHR): "OHCHR recalls that parties to the conflict have the obligation to take all feasible measures to protect the population under their control from the effects of hostilities. Residents told OHCHR that they fear that the presence of Ukrainian military positioned near their homes endangers them and puts them at risk of attack. OHCHR has also documented a worrying case of punitive damage to property in Donetsk by members of the armed groups targeting the house of a member of the Government-affiliated 'Dnipro-1' battalion."; "OHCHR also continued to document human rights violations committed by members of Ukrainian voluntary battalions in 2014, as well as continuing cases in early 2016. On 20 January, a group of ‘Dnipro-1’ battalion members raided a house in Avdiivka, severely beating a man, subjecting him to asphyxiation with a plastic bag and mock execution."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Report on the human rights situation in Ukraine 16 August to 15 November 2016 |url=https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Countries/UA/UAReport16th_EN.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|access-date=March 2022-09-09}}</ref>

* From the reports (2016) by Global Rights Compliance LLP: "For example, <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>
