In the center of Kharkov today, a group of masked young people rioted with shooting, attacking the office of the “Opposition Bloc” and smashing the security car of Verkhovna Rada deputy Mikhail Dobkin.

The attackers dismantled the paving stones near the Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women under construction and threw them into the building. People in balaclavas also threw smoke bombs through the broken windows of the office.
The police simply watched what was happening for some time, allowing the thugs to continue their attack on the office.
It is interesting that Kharkov media loyal to the authorities called the participants in the riots “pro-Ukrainian activists.”
It should also be noted that the “Opposition Bloc” today picketed the justice department - the party is unable to register its cell in the Kharkov region.
Obviously, the refusal to register for various reasons is a consequence of the fact that the Kharkov region is one of the base regions for the “Opposition Bloc,” where the rating of this political force is higher than that of Petro Poroshenko’s party.
