MOSCOW. Jan 14 (Interfax) - The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has found some of Ukraine's complaints filed in the Ukraine v. Russia (re Crimea) case to be inadmissible, including those alleging killings of civilians, unwarranted apprehension and intimidation of foreign journalists, and some others, the Russian Justice Ministry said.

"The ECHR has concluded that a number of complaints filed by the Ukrainian government against the Russian Federation lack evidence, including alleged killings of civilians, unwarranted apprehension and intimidation of international journalists, illegal seizures of property of Ukrainian military personnel, discrimination against ethnic Ukrainians, politically motivated prosecution of pro-Ukrainian individuals, and denials of registration to religious and other organizations," the ministry said in a statement obtained by Interfax on Thursday.
