The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg has awarded 3,600 euros to Nelya Shtepa, the former mayor of the Ukrainian city of Slovyansk in the Donetsk region whom Kyiv accuses of fomenting separatism.
The October 24 ruling found that criminal proceedings against Shtepa had been “unreasonably long” and that her pre-trial detention had been “lengthy and unjustified.”
It ordered the Ukrainian government to pay her 2,600 euros ($2,900) in respect of non-monetary damages and an additional 1,000 euros to cover legal costs and expenses.
Shtepa, 57, was the mayor of Slovyansk when former Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) Colonel Igor Girkin led a group of separatists to seize the city on April 12, 2014, sparking the armed conflict in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk that is in its sixth year.
The same day, Shtepa championed the separatists’ cause, saying she agreed with their demands of holding a referendum on the regionβs status, according to an AP report published on April 22, 2014.
A few days later she changed her story calling the presence of the armed men in the city an “occupation.”
Shtepa was arrested on July 13, 2014 and charged with encroachment on the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and with causing the deaths of people and creating terrorist groups or organizations.
Her trial has failed to reach an outcome five times in several Ukrainian courts and one in Kharkiv has after 16 months just begun a preliminary case hearing.

So this Russian loving bitch goes whining to the jellyfish about her detention being βlengthy and unjustified.β Traitors don’t usually get off so lightly during wartime.
She had a choice. Sloviansk is only a quarter ethnic Moskali and despite that, the Russian army invaded her city and she chose their side. A couple of months later the good guys took the city back and should have disposed of her chocolate and champagne eating large ass then. She would have done well to pay for her treason by wandering through the minefields that her heroes planted in her country.
Are you crazy posting a picture of that filthy slut?!

The lying, spineless hypocrites in Europe would’ve given her the same treatment when in Ukraine’s dire predicament. In other countries she would’ve ended up hanging from the nearest telephone pole or stoned to death.
The only part I agree with is it does take TOO LONG for justice in Ukraine. That fact has gotten a lot of mafiosos out of trouble and off sanctions.
