While Ukrainian sailors, in violation of all international norms, are in Russian captivity, officials and entrepreneurs are robbing Kyiv.
This was stated during a meeting of the Kyiv City Council by the former head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Defense, head of the faction of the nationalist party “Svoboda” Yuriy Sirotyuk, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We all know that 24 Ukrainian sailors are today in military captivity in the Russian Federation without observing any laws of war. According to the Geneva Convention, prisoners of war must be kept together. They do not have the right to be interrogated as criminals. Today Putin is showing his terrorist regime. And we approve of the introduction of martial law.
We also believe that the martial law must be real. I ask the Kiev Regional Council that, in parallel with the introduction of martial law, we break off diplomatic relations with the aggressor country. They blocked the border, stopped the movement of people, goods and services,” the controversial politician called.
Also, the head of the nationalist party “Svoboda” expressed the opinion that it is necessary to sever all economic relations with Russia.
“You cannot trade with the occupier under martial law. There is a decision of the Kyiv Regional Council, dear Vitaly Vladimirovich, to ban the activities of business entities of the Russian Federation on the territory of Kyiv. But Sberbank is still operating. Russian companies operate in Kyiv. Every fourth hryvnia in the Kyiv budget is the so-called investment of the aggressor country.
If the state is unable to ban the activities of Russian business, we call on the city mayor to fence off with construction fences those objects that belong to the occupying country. In any country in the world, the property of the aggressor country is seized, and over time, nationalization occurs,” noted the odious nationalist.
In his opinion, local authorities are robbing the city, hiding behind words about “filling the budget.”
“We also appeal to the city mayor: Vitaly Vladimirovich, a very dangerous unprecedented thing has happened. While the soldiers are fighting in the war and our sailors are in captivity, it is unacceptable to plunder the city! The Kiev Regional Council very often entered into various contractual relations with the motive of “filling the budget,” the deputy summarized.
