Near Kiev, militants stormed the village council, demanding land
In Gostomel, Kyiv region, ATO militants staged a pogrom of the local village council, demanding the allocation of land promised to them.
As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, before the elections, the village mayor of Gostomel, Yuriy Prilipko, promised to allocate plots to the so-called ATO veterans. This was done, but in the end it turned out that the field that was “cut” by the militants was already privately owned. To resolve the situation, the ATO soldiers came to the village council, but the doors were locked in front of them, not allowing them to attend the session.
“Even before the elections in Gostomel, the village council, together with the mayor, allocated land for individual construction on the “field” for ATO participants and their families. Everyone was happy - even though it was such a piece of land, they allocated it! The mayor (the one who is now) actively promoted this, as if he had donated his personal land, but still.
Six months passed and it turned out that the ATO officers, generously gifted by the local authorities, could not register this land! It has already been registered as “private property” in an unknown and clearly fraudulent manner. The village council could not have not known that the land was problematic when it was allocated to the ATO participants,” Tatyana Protorchenko, one of the organizers of the protest under the village council, said in her blog.
The protesters began knocking on doors, and when this did not lead to success, one of them broke the glass with a music speaker. In response, the security began spraying gas at the protesters. Later, the police tried to detain the radical who broke the glass, but the protesters did not allow them to do this.
According to local media, the conflict between militants and local authorities has been going on for more than a year. Participants in the punitive operation against the LDPR continue to demand that Gostomel deputies resolve their land issue, and representatives of the village council say that the main problem is in the database of the Ministry of Justice, in which someone has changed the owner of the land.
