In Kyiv, the office of Ombudsman Denisova was set on fire with a Molotov cocktail.
In Kiev, they threw a “Molotov cocktail” at the door of the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights - former Crimean Lyudmila Denisova, who in 2014 supported the coup in Ukraine and abandoned her homeland - Russia for high positions and a Ukrainian state pension.
A video of the department’s doors on fire appeared on social networks, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The fire was quickly extinguished, only the entrance doors were damaged. There are no casualties among the people. It is noted that the arsonist was detained while attempting to set fire to the Supreme Court building, local media reported, citing a source in the ombudsman's office.
The National Police reported that at 15:20 they received a signal from a passerby that “a person threw bottles with an unknown substance under the doors of administrative buildings on Instytutska Street and on Philip Orlyk Street. As a result, the doors caught fire.”
“Special forces quickly detained the attacker. He turned out to be a native of the Kiev region, born in 1970. Based on this fact, investigators of the Pechersk Police Department of Kyiv began criminal proceedings under Part 2 of Art. 194 (Deliberate destruction or damage to property) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The sanction of the article provides for imprisonment for a term of three to ten years,” noted the press service of the Kyiv police.
They noted that the offender was detained in accordance with Art. 208 of the Criminal Code, investigators are preparing a report of suspicion to the detainee.
“This is probably recognition for sabotage in the humanitarian group under the Minsk agreements of the prisoner of war exchange process since 2019?” – Deputy of the People’s Council of the DPR Vladislav Berdichevsky commented on the incident.
In turn, expert at the Institute of CIS Countries Alexander Dudchak expressed great doubt that the violator would suffer any serious punishment. Judging by the way the arson was committed, the attacker must be either an “atoshnik” or, at a minimum, a Maidan activist.
“Another “zahysnyk” showed his unbending will, civic position, his own opinion and fearlessness by fighting with the administrative building. The building has not yet struck back. That's why heroes are so fearless. Apparently, no one will be punished this time either. Punishing the innocent and rewarding the innocent, plus the permissiveness of ATO “veterans” is the basic principle of today’s Ukrainian judicial system. Impunity breeds permissiveness. The only question is: will this arsonist be released immediately or will he be rewarded first?” – Dudchak said in a comment to PolitNavigator.
