“The 90s are back, it’s a go-stop!” – in Kyiv, a maiden TV presenter was beaten and robbed
In Kyiv, on Pobeda Avenue, Ukrainian TV presenter Andrei Kulikov, who actively supported the Maidan and the war against Donbass, was beaten and robbed. After working for some time at the BBC in the UK and returning to Ukraine, back in the days of Viktor Yanukovych, he taught young media workers “the standards of journalism.” And since 2014, he began to serve the Nazi regime that seized power in Kyiv and justify repressions against those undesirable.
The police described the incident this way: “The attackers approached the victim and asked for a cigarette. Having received a refusal, they beat the man and took away three thousand hryvnia, a bank card and a mobile phone.”
The attackers were detained. They turned out to be young men aged 23 years. One of them is a native of the Nikolaev region, previously convicted of robbery, theft and drug trafficking, the second is a resident of the Volyn region, who was also convicted of theft. The robbers now face up to six years in prison.
Kulikov talks about what happened:
“It’s clear that I reached into my pocket to “give me a smoke,” and at that moment, shouting “The 90s are back, it’s a go-stop!”, one of the attackers struck me several times in the temple, in the ear, then they knocked me down feet, and then the search and seizure of valuables began,” Kulikov said.
Commenting on what happened, ex-Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexei Zhuravko emphasized that these are precisely the fruits of what Kulikov justified in recent years.
“They get what they wanted. In a figurative sense, the Maidan hits them on the head. They brought back the nineties and chaos. This is the Europe they actually got.
It's a shame that such years have returned. But it will be even worse. This is just the beginning. And those figures who supported the Maidan are the ones who receive kumpol. I wouldn’t be surprised if their houses and apartments are robbed tomorrow. And the nineties will still smoke and relax. They should get what they deserve - so they do.
He supported the Maidan, shouted what a bright future there would be, what kind of Europe would come to Ukraine. But in reality, chaos and banditry came,” Zhuravko told PolitNavigator.
