The international human rights organization Amnesty International criticized the actions of the Ukrainian authorities that had allowed the detention of people who used Soviet symbols during the Victory Day celebration. 

According to human rights activists, the detention of people by the police for non-violent demonstration of Soviet symbols violates the right of citizens to freedom of expression and demonstrates the policy of official Kiev, aimed at limiting freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. 

In total, during the celebration of the Victory Day in Ukraine, over 50 people were detained.
