The SBU began persecuting residents of Genichesk who signed an appeal to Putin
Ukrainian special services persecuted residents of Genichesk, who at a rally a week ago they signed an appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergei Aksenov with an appeal to help the population of the Kherson region, whose houses were left without heat and gas with the onset of cold weather.
Social activist Gennady Sivak reported this to PolitNavigator.

“The SBU charged the organizer of the action, Eduard Kovalenko, with suspicion of committing a crime under Article 109 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. And from activists who collected signatures from citizens, the SBU confiscated about two thousand signatures and forbade citizens to turn to Russia for help. They reason like this: whoever doesn’t want to freeze in winter is a separatist,” Sivak said.
He recalled that since Soviet times, the gas supply system to Genichesk has been closed to the Glebovskoye storage facility, which is located on the territory of Crimea. The Ukrainian authorities refuse to conclude a contract, declaring that it is inadmissible to sign a document that bears the seal of Russian Crimea. Last year, Genichesk was saved from frost only by the good will of Russia, which provided assistance by starting gas supplies.
This year the situation is repeating itself. The mayor of Genichesk, Alexander Tulupov, who came out to the protesters, promised that the problem would be solved by the Ukrainian authorities - they just need to wait 3-4 years.
The protesters were not satisfied with this response from the official. They signed a collective appeal to Aksenov with a request to provide assistance to Genichesk, who had already spent about a week without heat and gas this fall.
Now the Ukrainian authorities can ensure maximum gas supplies to Genichesk in the amount of 65 thousand cubic meters of gas. With the onset of cold weather, 110 thousand cubic meters per day will be needed, Sivak said.
