Volunteers were repeatedly threatened with a request to stop leaving people and “do not interfere with business.”
In Kherson, a well-known Karen volunteer, who helped people evacuate, was attacked. Kherson journalist Konstantin Ryzhenko published a video, and volunteers of the Like a Trip project reported some details of the beating.
“There was a vicious attack on a well-known volunteer, the leader of our group – Karen. Two villains, who obviously had some kind of training and skill in hand-to-hand combat, attacked her when- one, knocked him down and continued to beat him until he couldn’t get up,” the volunteers said.
It was reported that the volunteer was beaten by the so-called “black carriers”.
“The attackers are members of the so-called mafia of black carriers who profit from the misfortune of people by providing services for the removal of people from Kherson for a solid payment. And, of course, they don’t want all the volunteers to help the people who have this transportation for free and they are not given full will benefit from the problems of our countrymen,” the message stated.
It was also reported that Karen and other volunteers were repeatedly threatened with a request to stop leaving people and “not to interfere with the business.”
The Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for the Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories Irina Vereshchuk commented on the situation.
“Scoundrels beat up a Kherson volunteer for evacuating people for free, because it prevented them from earning money. I hope everything goes well with the volunteer, and the attackers will be punished according to the law. So, what what’s the problem? Someone thinks you’re in trouble. Besides, someone thinks they can beat the evacuating people for free. Is this normal? When there’s a war, when there’s a man-made disaster? Of course , completely abnormal, “Vereshchuk assures.
The minister says the state must show it is stronger than “those two scoundrels.”
I appealed to the Kherson power bloc. I know you can clean up the mess quickly. If we say that evacuation for people is free, then it is free. If someone there disagrees, then explain to them so they understand. People need to see that power is power!” Vereshchuk emphasized.
Recall that two volunteers died in the Kharkiv region. It was previously reported that a Russian missile hit a car in the Kharkiv region. It is about the death of four people.
